The Process

How Langlade County's small claims division works

It's built to be navigable without a lawyer. Here's the shape of a case from start to finish.

Step 01

File your claim

Fill in the claim, pick the courthouse that covers the dispute, and pay what the court charges.

Step 02

Serve & respond

The defendant receives the papers through formal service and can reply or negotiate an end to it.

Expect a brief session rather than a trial, in person or by video where available, with a decision at the end or soon after.

Everything below applies to a case filed in Langlade County, at the Antigo courthouse. Wanglade County Circuit Court: Small Claims lists (715) 627-6215 as its number.

Service of Process

How to notify the other side

The defendant must be given formal notice after filing. This is service of process, and as a rule you are not permitted to serve the papers yourself.

Who is allowed to serve

The options usually include a sheriff or constable, a licensed process server, certified mail sent by the clerk, or any adult with no stake in the case. What is allowed, and what it costs, differs from county to county.

The cut-off

Each court sets how far before the hearing the defendant must be served. The clerk confirms your deadline when the hearing date is set.

The proof that goes on file

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.

Addresses in Langlade County include places such as Antigo, Bryant and Deerbrook. Menominee County and Shawano County are the counties nearest to Langlade County.

Wisconsin statute of limitations

The law fixes how long you have, counted from the dispute itself. A case brought later can be refused outright.

Type of claimFiling deadline
Written contract6 years
Oral contract6 years
