Small claims handles money owed between ordinary people and businesses. Procedure is kept light, and claims are capped.
Maximum claim
Either the place the dispute arose or the place the other party lives will usually work.
You can't divide one dispute into several smaller cases to get around the limit.
Judgments take the form of money owed; other kinds of relief are heard elsewhere.
In the small claims division of an Arizona justice court, an attorney may not appear or take part for either side unless both parties agree in writing before the hearing to allow attorneys (Ariz. Rev. Stat. sec. 22-512). A party who wants a lawyer can instead ask to transfer the case to the justice court's regular civil division, where attorneys are allowed; lawyers may also represent themselves in their own small claims cases.
Where a party is under 18, the court appoints a guardian to act.
Over the limit? You can lower your claim to fit and stay in small claims, or file the full amount in regular civil court. Lowering usually means giving up the excess, so weigh it carefully.

A filed case still has to reach the defendant. Formal notice, known as service of process, does that, and delivering it personally is generally not allowed. In Arizona, courts typically use delivery arranged by the court, email service where the court allows it, personal delivery by an approved server, the sheriff or constable or certified mail.
A sheriff, a constable, a professional server, the court clerk using certified mail, or an uninvolved adult can all serve papers, depending on local rules. Fees and permitted methods vary.
How long before the hearing notice must be given is set by the court. That deadline arrives with your hearing date. Must be served within 45 days of filing (ABC shortens to 35 days for Proof of service time).
Service is proved on paper. The server completes and signs a form, and it is filed before the matter is heard.
Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.
