About New Hampshire Small Claims Court

New Hampshire small claims are filed in the Circuit Court (District Division) and cover disputes up to $10,000. Attorneys are permitted. New Hampshire's filing fees are high relative to most states ($90–$145), but the process itself is designed to be self-serviceable. The 3-year statute of limitations applies to most civil claims. Cases are heard by a judge, and losing parties may appeal. New Hampshire offers self-help resources at the courthouse.
