Small Claims Courts and proceedings are less formal than proceeding in higher Courts. You can be represented by an attorney. Some Judges may allow a person other than an attorney to testify but it is not likely they they would be able to help you answer questions unless there is some disability.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
