What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mass.
I have a question about filing in small claims court. I am in dispute with my former landlord over two issues. Can I file claim concerning both issues on one form or will they be treated separately? While picking up the small claims form at the local courthouse, the clerk said that was a good question and she wasn't sure how I should proceed but then she just advised to put both issues on one form. Would I be wise to first seek legal counsel? I do plan on representing myself as I feel I have a pretty solid case on both points. I just don't want to jeopardize my position or have the whole thing tossed because I didn't fill the paperwork out properly. Any words of wisdom from anyone who has been in a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
