Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Corporation suing another Corp. in Small Claims Court/CA

Our corporation (small company) is suing a dead beat client (another corporation)for non-payment of services.

Does one of our corporate officers have to show up in small claims as plaintiff OR can our Business Manager represent us - as she knows the full particulars of the actions.

No the business manager can only be a witness. You should consider having an attorney on retainer for a small annual fee. Call me directly at 16192223504.
