That's what I'd like to know. Are attorneys allowed in small claims courts in Louisiana?

Also, I'm appalled at the price. Most states charge less than $50. Some as low as $24 from what I read online.

And are prices different in different cities? My brother used small claims court a couple of times years ago when he owned a business to sue customers who didn't pay and he said it was only $50 in Rayne.

From what I've read, yes.

But it's still a deterrent to some people. In my opinion, it should be much lower.

I've sent emails with "attorney at law" in my sig.


Write "Esquire" next time. That'll pucker their asses up.

I looked at the Louisiana Gov website this morning and they had zilch about small claims courts.

I called the courthouse in Lafayette this morning and was told that they have all of the paperwork there. Haven't had a chance to go yet.
