Taking sister to small claims court. Her two young kids age:3 and 5 scratched my new car. Almost $4,000
Worth of damage. She and her husband acknowledges what happened. They went through the process of telling us they would file it on their homeowner's insurance, then said they would write a thousand dollar check but that's all they could do. Just received an (answer) from their attorney today. They are wanting all claims dropped and for us to pay attorney fees. Their Attorney is also trying to send it to civil court. Which I know he can not represent them in small claims if it stays there. I do have a police report,3 estimates,pictures of scratched car and text messages I had printed out of our conversation about the car and her acknowledge about it. My question is what are my chances of winning my case and not going to civil court? Do I respond to their lawyers paper (answer) or just go onto court as usual?
