Info about where should I file

[piponel]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO

I'm in Colorado Springs, CO and the company I want to sue is in Aurora, CO. I've tried already to get to an agreement both via phone conversations and by sending a demand letter. Nothing. So I guess I wanna file in small claims court. Where do I file? Also is there anywhere where I can get some help for as little as possible as this is not a big case? Thanks!

Thanks for the info

I really appreciate your input, it's just that all I wanted to know is if I can file in my city because that's where the damage happened or I actually I HAVE to file in the city where the company has it's headquarters. Thanks!

Your Secretary of State's web-site lists business addresses and also the party to whom legal documents should be sent.

Good luck

You may “appreciate the input", but apparently you either haven't fully read it or for some inexplicable reason fail to comprehend plain English.

I didn't mean to offend you in any way nor did I want you to believe I can't read English. All it was, with all the legal terms, I was confused by the second paragraph. Now I totally understand and one more time, THANK YOU!
