Lee County Clerk and Comptroller Kevin Karnes is hosting a free class for anyone who would like to learn how to file a small claims lawsuit themselves.\u00a0The class is April 22nd from 2-3PM on Zoom.<\/p>\n

Small claims lawsuits are civil\u00a0disputes involving money damages where the amount at issue does not exceed $8,000 excluding costs, interest and attorneys\u2019 fees. Examples include contract disputes, property damage and debt collection.<\/p>\n

During the How-To session, attendees will learn the following:<\/p>\n

General information on small claims cases
\nForm requirements
\nFees associated with filing a case
\nHow to file electronically
\nMethods of collection post judgment
\nAvailable contacts & resources<\/p>\n

A representative from the Lee County Legal Aid Society will be available for a Q&A session immediately following the presentation. (Florida law prohibits the Clerk\u2019s office from providing legal advice, and this seminar is solely for informational purposes. For legal inquiries, customers should speak with an attorney.)<\/p>\n

The class is free, but registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Participants can register at\u00a0www.leeclerk.org\/seminar<\/a>. This class is part of the \u201cHow-To\u201d series provided by the Clerk\u2019s office to educate the community about all of the resources available to them. Recorded tutorials of past \u201cHow-To\u201d classes are available at\u00a0www.leeclerk.org\/howto<\/a>.<\/p>\n
