We can represent you for matters that are up to $50,000, not including legal fees and expenses. We represent both sides, the plaintiff, the one who files the claim, or the defendant, the party responding to and defending a claim filed against them.
Common cases include unpaid loans, property damage, breach of contract, unpaid rent, faulty services, or unreturned security deposits. The court also handles claims for money owed, recovery of personal property, and enforcement of agreements.
At Merisca Legal, we help you throughout the whole process including: assessing the merits of a claim or defence, estimating timelines and costs and providing ongoing support through every stage of the case.
