    I think it was a great video and very helpful. I'm from Idaho and was wondering if it's the same in every state? I was also wondering if it matters whether it's two business individuals involved can one business individual file a claim against another business individual or is the small claims just for personal loses?

    If you lost your proof of service, you can contact the sheriff's office or check the case file at the court through the court clerk's office. Be sure to have the case number when inquiring about this information. You can also get more information at Illinois Legal Aid.org.

    This video explains things far better than some folks who call themselves lawyers. Go figure!
    PS this judge looks scary, yikes!

    Good video. But here in Massachusetts it's much simpler... the court notifies the defendant through mail, and you only have to fill out one single form. I feel bad for people out there- it's so much more complicated!

    Excellent presentation of a complex topic. I didn't see any information on how to collective judgement if the defendant refuses to pay..

      Excellent information, now I, am suing someone in New Jersey, and I saw that they were served by email, which is much easier than the old way of doing it. Now, my court date is Feb 9, I am using a dealership for a few issues, including the fact that they sold me a car with flood damage, there is a New Jersey law that regulates that, without telling me, and I have a question about the exhibits, I understand that I as the plaintiff have to use numbers, the defense uses letters?, and the question is how to number the exhibits, should I just have one very long exhibit, for instance the selling contract is 33 pages long, and with all the photos, and number everything, it would go up to 70 pages, yes there is a lot (they even sold me tire insurance on bad tires), or should I label each issue, within the same transaction, of buying this car, and then go like 1C,1C,1C, and for the second exhibit, 2C,2C,2C, etc, thanks
