The Small Claims Court process will be led by Leonard Elias, Miami-Dade Consumer Advocate, who will explain the county’s Small Claims Court system. In addition, Elias will provide a detailed explanation of how the Small Claims Court works and answer questions from participants.

The Small Claims Court process is used by individuals to address disputes involving $5,000 or less, without the costly assistance of an attorney. 

Visit the Business Affairs and Consumer Protection website, miamidade.gov/csd, for instructions on how to file in Small Claims Court as well as collect on a judgment.  Legal forms are available for download from the website free of charge, or at the clinic for $5.00.

For additional information call the Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Division at 305-375-3677.
