FAQ
Small Claims is a special court where civil lawsuits for $10,000 or less are decided (NRS 73.010). Small Claims allows individuals to sue for monetary damages and parties generally represent themselves without an attorney.
The basic principle that each side pays their own legal fees is literally called the "American Rule". There are quite a few situations where that can be flipped, for attorneys fees, court costs, and other expenses.
Conclusion: Going to small claims court may be worth it for $500, but it will determine how you weigh your costs versus benefits. At a minimum, it is worth it to send a demand letter.

Your service term is for one week or one trial – most trials last an average of three days, but occasionally they extend beyond one week.
Any qualified person over the age of 18 is welcome to serve, however once you reach the age of 70 you do qualify for an age exemption should you choose not to serve. If you are over the age of 70, receive a jury summons, and do not wish to serve, please provide notification, in writing, to the Jury Office.
Do I have to respond to the jury summons? RCW 2.36. 170 states, "A person summoned for jury service who intentionally fails to appear as directed shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." Please respond to your summons. The justice system in Washington State cannot function without citizens willing to serve on jury duty.
