I dismissed a small claims case without predious, can I get it overturned?

No, you can't get a case overturned if you dismissed it voluntarily. And you should not think that simply because the judge is allowing a motion to be filed that he or she necessarily will grant the motion.\n\nHowever, the best advice for you is undoubtedly to consult an attorney in your jurisdiction. A company will be represented by lawyers, and the court will not grant you any extra consideration simply because you're not trained.

Take your loss adn move on. Whatever your suing for will cost you more money in small claims court than you can get out of a company that went bankrupt. sorry

If the amount in dispute is relatively small, you can also check out Small Claims courts (sometimes called Municipal courts in some states).\n\nGenerally, neither party has an attorney, and the court listens to both sides and looks at available evidence, before reaching a reasonable conclusion. It's a much less expensive and must less time-consuming way to resolve simple disputes.\n\nBut if the issues are complex, competent legal advice from a licensed attorney is always a good idea.

In California\nYou can't appeal if you were the one who filed the claim. If someone else files a claim against you and you lose, you can appeal.

small claims court can take care of you. If you paid for something and didnt recieve it and you werent told or signed something saying you wouldne be getting a refund, then you can take them to small claims court. You dont need an attorney. Just call the courthouse and ask them how you file a small claims lawsuit. I would also call the better business bureau or go online for the BBB, they give them a bad rep and you will get your money back. It might be difficult and take a while but you will get it back.

Most courts will have appeals packet for you.  Do this quickly, as some court matters have a time limit on appeals.  If you are not able to complete the forms on your own, contact your state Bar Association (lawyers), and ask for pro bono (free service) attorney to assist you.\n\nBut do understand that you can only appeal matters if there were technically errors made during the case and not just because you did not like the outcome.

Do what you are doing. Go to small claims court first. Then go to the next step after that.

call your local superior court and speak with thier Small Claims Advisor.  in a small claims case lawyers are not admissible in court and you will be on a level playing field with your defendant.  however there are limitations as to the ammount you can claim in small claims ct.  so,  pick up the small claims papers at your court, fill them out and have your SC advisor help you with anything you may not understand.  if you happen to live in Ca heres a good link to start off with for some general info.  good luck!\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/smallclaims/

In order to win a malpractice claim or "get your money back" it is not enough that you lost your case when you thought you would win it.  Rememebr, there was always another side that thought they would win too.\n\nYou don't say whether this was a criminal or civil trial.  You can always seek another attorney for an appeal (but do it quickly.) It will cost you though, unless you qualify as a criminal defendant for a public defender.  If so, ask for another is you don't have one.

I don't know the details of your case, but I think you are probably learning why you shouldn't be doing this pro-se.  \n\nIf you have been to attorneys and they have told you that the case has no merit, and you filed it pro se, then you may have subjected yourself to sanctions for a frivelous complaint.\n\nThe defendant in this matter has probably retained an attorney, and its the attorney who filed the answer and then moved for dismissal.  You should review the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for information on how to proceed, if you are going to represent yourself.  However, I strongly suggest that you should retain counsel.\n\nIf you want to retain an attorney, contact your local or state bar association for a referral to an attorney licensed in Virginia.

Actually, at this point, you probably can't.  You had to oppotunity to have a say so long before the judgment was issued.  You have less than one month afterward to appeal.

Yes you can but there are somethings you need to be aware of...you need to read any small disclaimers on the commercals and listen to the wording becaseu some false claims can really turn out not to be false by the wording they use...just misleading to the public who views it only in passing and dosen't take in all the information like the small print...so I'd get a consult and make sure you had a case before you did anything

A mistrial, you mean?\n\nYou may get your case appealed if you have reasonable proof that the trial or the proceedings before the trial were unlawful.

Yes. They can still take you to small claims court even though there was no police report filed. You are responsible for the damages you caused. However, to avoid going to court tell them to go get 2-3 estimates and you pay the smaller of the two. Thats the law. Hope this helps, I am a paralegal.

"he who represents himself has a fool for a client"  Mark Twain.\n\nSmall claims court is easy to do without a lawyer.  If you are suing someone for more than the small claims allows, you SHOULD use a lawyer, as not knowing the procedures will no doubt be of substancial handicap.\n\nMost small claims have raised the amounts you can sue for in them.  I believe some are up to 10 thousand dollars.  You can do anything a lawyer can do, if you represent yourself.\n\nSmall claims is essentiall like "the peoples court".  You state your case in front of the judge, and the defendant has the chance to state their case.\n\nYou can file the lawsuit at the county courthouse, and all the forms are self explanatory, and the clerks can aid you in filling them out, as long as you don't request 'legal advice' from them.\n\nIt is fairly inexpensive, usually around 50 dollars to file, and if you win, you get it back from the person you sued.  You will also have to "serve" the defendant.  You don't do this yourself, you pay an 'officer of the court' or the sherrifs office to do this.  It costs around 35-50 dollars.
