Frequently asked questions
How much can I sue for in Nevada if the letter is ignored?
Money judgments only, up to $10,000 (NRS 73.010); no equitable relief. Heard in the justice court for the township where venue lies. The court is the Small Claims (in Justice Court). Filing fee: Sliding scale by claim amount — Las Vegas Justice Court: $66 (up to $1,000), $86 ($1,000.01–$2,500), $106 ($2,500.01–$5,000), $146 ($5,000.01–$7,500), $196 ($7,500.01–$10,000); other townships vary slightly. As of 2026; source: Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 73 (NRS 73.010).
Do I need a lawyer in Nevada small claims?
Attorneys are Allowed (parties may hire an attorney, but attorney's fees are not recoverable as part of a small claims judgment). That matters before you send the letter: where lawyers are barred, the person reading your letter knows they will be arguing it themselves, which is part of why demand letters get paid. Source: Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 73 (NRS 73.010) (as of 2026).
Can I demand more than $10,000?
Yes — a demand letter has no cap; only courts do. If you are owed more than $10,000, the letter is the same and the follow-through would be Nevada's regular civil docket instead of the Small Claims (in Justice Court).
