Individuals and business entities, including corporations and LLCs. Out-of-state individuals and businesses may file but may need to attend hearings. Not the right fit if Your claim is outside Connecticut, over its small claims limit, or needs a lawyer (an injury, a dispute over land, a family case). Not a form preparation or legal service.
