1. Fill out and complete an ODR Affidavit and Summons (PDF). You are the Plaintiff in this case and the person you are suing is the Defendant. Do not sign unless you are before a notary or a court clerk.
2. Once it is filled out, you will file the Affidavit and Summons with the court and pay the corresponding fee:
- $60.00 for claims $2,000 or less
- $100.00 for claims of $2,001 to $7,499
- $185 for claims of $7,500 to $20,000
3. The Affidavit and Summons will be returned to you with a case number. It is your responsibility to serve the Defendant and proof of service must be submitted to the court within 10 calendar days of service. Click the following link for more information about the serving process.
4. If the Defendant is an individual (not a business), then a Military Service Declaration (PDF) is required to be filed with the court before a default judgment will be given.
