When can an attorney (lawyer) represent the defendant or me in small claims court?
Notice of Attorney Representation
If the defendant chooses to be represented by an attorney, the defendant must file a Notice of Representation by Attorney with the court at least 7 days before your first scheduled trial date. Once the defendant files the Notice of Representation by Attorney, you may also hire an attorney to represent you in small claims court. Read Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure for Small Claims Courts, Rule 520 for more information on attorney representation in small claims court (see below for link to rule).
