Can I file my case in the Magistrate Court?

The Magistrate Court of Evans County is also known as small claims court. A claim can be filed for $15,000.00 or less. If your claim exceeds $15,000.00, the Magistrate Court doesn’t have jurisdiction to hear the case but it can be filed in the State Court or the Superior Court. Not only does this $15,000.00 limit apply to a claim filed by the plaintiff, it also applies to any counterclaim filed by the defendant which exceeds $15,000.00.
