I will prepare a professional small claims counterclaim package
Attorney Drafted Documents for Small Claims Success
About this Gig
Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. If you have been sued in small claims but believe the other party actually owes you money, you need to file a Counterclaim. I am Douglas Lowell Hicks, a licensed USA attorney, and I will draft a professional Counterclaim Package to help you turn the tables.
A counterclaim allows the judge to hear your grievances in the same case. I ensure your claims are presented with the same legal rigor as an original lawsuit, outlining the facts, the legal basis for recovery, and the damages you are seeking.
What is included:
- Formal Counterclaim document ready for court
- Clear articulation of your damages and claims
- Integration with your existing defense (Standard/Premium)
- Strategy for presenting both your defense and your claim
Don't just defend; recover what is yours. I provide the professional legal writing needed to show the court that you are the injured party. Let's ensure your claims are heard and documented correctly.
