Civil Court

Missouri statute and English common law provide a large variety of legal remedies known as civil cases. Generally, civil cases are non-criminal cases in which a “Plaintiff” seeks to recover money damages or other relief from a “Defendant”. Most cases require a filing fee to be paid upon the filing by the Plaintiff of the Petition.

 

Generally, civil cases with less than $25,000 in dispute are filed in the Associate Circuit Civil Court.  Cases with $25,000 or more in dispute are filed in the Circuit Civil Court. Cases seeking non-monetary damages such as restraining orders and injunctions are generally filed in the Circuit Civil Court.

 

The Small Claims Court is also available to the people of Missouri. This is a procedure by which claims of not more than $5,000 may be litigated in an expedited and less expensive manner. Parties often appear in Small Claims Court without an attorney.


In the Eleventh Circuit, Associate Circuit Court Civil cases are generally heard in Divisions 9, 11, and 16. Circuit Court Civil cases are heard in Divisions 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. The Chief Civil Clerk is Karla Trachsel.


We accept Master Card, Visa and Discover for posting bonds and court costs in person. A convenience fee will be assessed.
