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.
Minors take part through a guardian appointed by the court.
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.
