Justice Direct and People Clerk did an excellent job of helping me organize and file my small claims case. They went the full route finding that my defendant was actually a branch of a national LLC. I may have had trouble collecting if they had gone the extra mile in researching that. Their help in completing the paperwork and arranging for service of process saved me hours of effort. Outstanding organization!

Send a Demand Letter for Payment
When someone owes you money, the first step is to send them a formal letter asking for it, commonly known as a demand letter. In many situations, disputes can be settled just by sending the letter.
A custom demand letter for payment includes the important facts. It explains why the other party owes you money, how much they owe, and warns them that legal action will be taken if they don’t pay. It’s a serious message that puts pressure on them to resolve the dispute so they can avoid going to court.
