What is Evidence in a Small Claims case in Wisconsin?

Posted by Nathan DeLadurantey | Jul 03, 2023

In a small claims case in Wisconsin, evidence plays a crucial role in supporting your claims or defenses. While I can provide general information, it's important to note that specific legal advice should be sought from an attorney familiar with Wisconsin small claims procedures. Here are some types of evidence commonly used in small claims cases:

  1. Documentation: Any relevant documents that support your case should be gathered and presented as evidence. This may include contracts, invoices, receipts, photographs, emails, or other written communications.

  2. Witnesses: You may present witnesses who have firsthand knowledge of the events in question. They can provide testimony supporting your side of the case. It's a good practice to inform your witnesses about the hearing date and time, so they can be present and prepared to testify if necessary.

  3. Photographs or Videos: Visual evidence, such as photographs or videos, can be powerful in illustrating the condition of a property, the extent of damage, or any other relevant aspect of the case. Make sure the visual evidence is clear and properly labeled.

  4. Expert Opinions: In certain cases, expert opinions may be valuable. For example, if the dispute involves a technical matter, a qualified expert in that field could provide an opinion or evaluation. It's important to establish the expert's credentials and qualifications to demonstrate their expertise to the court.

Remember, it's essential to follow the specific rules and procedures of the Wisconsin small claims court. Familiarize yourself with the court's guidelines on presenting evidence, as they may have specific requirements for admissibility.

For accurate guidance tailored to your specific situation, consulting with an attorney who specializes in Wisconsin small claims cases is highly recommended.
