03

Money judgments only

Judgments take the form of money owed; other kinds of relief are heard elsewhere.

How Logan County's small claims division works

Step 01

File your claim

Set out the claim on the court's form, identify the correct courthouse, and pay the fee.

Step 02

Serve & respond

Service puts the papers in the defendant's hands and starts their time to answer or settle.

Everything below applies to a case filed in Logan County, at the Guthrie courthouse. Logan County District Court (Judicial District 9) lists (405) 282-0123 as its number.

Service of Process

How to notify the other side

Filing is only half of it. The defendant has to receive formal notice, a step called service of process, and in most cases you cannot hand over the papers yourself. In Oklahoma, courts typically use the sheriff or constable, email service where the court allows it, personal delivery by an approved server, certified mail or delivery arranged by the court.

Who is allowed to serve

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.

The cut-off

There is a deadline, counted backwards from the hearing, by which the defendant must have the papers. Ask the clerk for it when the date is assigned.

Proof of service

After delivery, the server fills out a proof of service, and that goes on the court file before the hearing.

Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.

A Logan County address carries one of its 8 ZIP codes, 73027, 73028 and 73044 among them. Payne County and Oklahoma County are the counties nearest to Logan County.
