Small Claims Court Actions You can appear in Small Claims Court without an attorney, as many parties often do. Filing fees vary and are generally based on the amount you are seeking to recover, but at a minimum, $100, and are recoverable if you win and you can find the fee by calling the office of the MDJ.

You have a limited amount of time to bring a lawsuit, regardless of the Pennsylvania court in which you file. The statute of limitations for injury and property damage cases is two years, and four years for contract cases.

If an attorney does not represent you, you must come to the Court's First Filing Office on the 10 th floor of 1339 Chestnut Street. Only the parties who entered into a contract or the person who suffered a personal injury or property damage normally have the right to bring an action.
