4. Nevada Small Claims Court: (For your information only - not a legal advice)
Before filing small claims complaint in Nevada you need to show that you have demanded payment from the contractor. You can do it by a certified letter, return receipt requested. In this letter you should specify what and when do you want from the contractor, and warn that you intend to sue if your demand is not met by a certain date.
You can file your Nevada Small claim suit in the municipality where your contractor lives, or does business.
To start your small claims lawsuit file a Small Claims Affidavit of Complaint with the clerk of the Justice Court. Download an Affidavit of Complaint form or pick it up at any Justice court. You will need to sign the Complaint before a notary public. You can file in person or by mail. You will need to file an original and at two (2) copies of the complaint. At the time of filing you will have to pay filing fee (vary depending on the amount you sue for).
- Maximum monetary limit of claims: $7,500;
- Attorney: not required, but allowed (attorney fees will not be added to the amount of your claim);
- Right to appeal: yes, for both parties (within 5 days)
