Browse the storeWho it is for
People and small businesses with a money claim in Wisconsin that may fit under $10,000, and people who have been sued there and want the same organized record. Anyone 18 or older (Wisconsin court system guide).
Not the right fit if
Your claim is outside Wisconsin, 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.
Why it is different
- Built only from our Wisconsin small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 799 (2023-24, published 5-1-25); Wisconsin court system: Basic Guide to Small Claims (SC-6000V, 02/23), as posted by Winnebago County; Wisconsin Circuit Court Fee, Forfeiture, Fine and Surcharge Tables (updated September 2, 2026); Wisconsin Court System: eCourts eFiling.
- All 10 Wisconsin facts in the kit are confirmed on an official page.
- Official forms are linked, not copied, so you always file the court's current version.
What is inside
- Start here and is small claims right?. How to use the kit, the 10 confirmed Wisconsin facts at a glance and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $10,000, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from.
- Wisconsin filing guide. Where and how to file, from the official pages: Evictions: where a defendant resides or the rental property is located. Most money claims: where a defendant resides or where the claim arose. Consumer claims have additional options, such as where the customer resides or was personally served. The court's guide points to Wisconsin Court System eFiling. Fees: small claims action, $10,000 or less (total fee, includes evictions): $94.50. Total fee from the Wisconsin Circuit Court Fee, Forfeiture, Fine and Surcharge Tables (updated September 2, 2026). Fee waiver forms CV-410A and CV-410B. Sheriff or process server fees are extra. Online filing: https://efiling.wicourts.gov/
- Service, the hearing and after in Wisconsin. Service: By mail, sheriff, or private process server (sheriff/server charge fees). Counterclaims over $10,000 (or tort counterclaims over $5,000) need personal service within 60 days. Lawyers are allowed. Appeal: After a court commissioner decision: file a Demand for Trial (SC-517) within 10 days of the hearing date, or 15 days from mailing of a written decision, with the clerk in the county where the case was heard. After a judge's decision: appeal to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.
- Demand letter and response tracker. A neutral demand letter to fill in (what happened, the amount, a reply-by date, how to pay), a log of every reply and offer, and a short checklist before sending.
- Evidence organizer and hearing prep. An exhibit list numbered for the judge, a timeline, witness notes, a three-minute opening outline and a hearing-day packing list.
- Wisconsin small claims workbook (Excel). A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $10,000 and $5,000 (tort / personal injury claims), $25,000 (replevin, consumer credit transaction (amount financed)), a costs sheet with the Wisconsin fee list, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed.

Other limits: tort / personal injury claims: $5,000; replevin, consumer credit transaction (amount financed): $25,000. The workbook compares your total with it.
What does the Wisconsin filing guide say about filing and serving?
Filing: Evictions: where a defendant resides or the rental property is located. Most money claims: where a defendant resides or where the claim arose. Consumer claims have additional options, such as where the customer resides or was personally served. The court's guide points to Wisconsin Court System eFiling.

Are the court forms included?
