While by law the court cannot give legal advice, there is a considerable amount of information available to assist the citizen in filing civil claims.

Denver County Court Magistrate Alan Bucholtz has written a Small Claims Handbook: Guide for Filing, Answering, Proving and Defending a Small Claims Court Case   to provide further clarification about the terminology, forms required and how to prove or defend a case in the Denver County Court.  The handbook can be used as a reference in addition to the State document entitled Instructions for Filing a Small Claims Case, which is available at small claims clerk’s offices throughout the state or from the link above.

 The court also sponsors Free Legal Clinics on a monthly basis to assist individuals with the filing and collection of small claims cases.
