In the state of Nevada, small claims court is a special division of the justice court. Small claims court is designed to help parties who do not have attorneys resolve their disputes quickly and inexpensively. In small claims court, claims must be less than $7,500. Small claims judges can only award money judgments. That means the judge can only order the other side to pay money (up to $7,500). The judge cannot order the other side to do something (like return a car or a dog) or stop doing something (like playing loud music).
