How U-SUE Works
1. winnable claims
Before we agree to take your case, we will ask to see the evidence you have that documents the debt or damages. Once we’ve evaluated the merits of your case and agree to represent you, we will provide you with our flat rate fee structure and contract. While we can make no guarantees, this formula has contributed to U-SUE’s success and track record of winning court actions for more than 35 years. We can save our clients thousands of dollars in time and legal fees.
2. We Simplify Small Claims Court
Small Claims Court can be complicated, intimidating and time consuming. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, unfortunately, all to often, we see people who self represent and get far less or even lose their cases due to poor preparation and lack of understanding of what it takes to successfully win at a Trial. We handle each step of the court process with professionalism allowing you to focus on other things like your business or family.
3. with you every step of the way
Our experienced agents attend all court appearances with you and work to get you a favourable settlement throughout the process. Should your matter not settle and a trial is scheduled, our team prepares you to testify, organizes your evidence and develops a winning strategy. At trial, we will represent you by presenting evidence and questioning witnesses. Our agents have extensive trial experience to provide you with the best representation.
4. We achieve Real Results
At U-SUE, we fight hard for your Judgment or favorable settlement, but our service to you doesn’t end there. If the debtor doesn’t pay, we can help you enforce the Judgment. We do this a number of ways including garnishments, asset seizures or forcing the sale of land if property is owned. No matter the issue, a simple unpaid invoice or a complex construction related matter, U-SUE Small Claims Court Agency has the experience to bring your case to resolution and help get you your money faster.
