About
The Small Claims Advisory Service is the only organization in Massachusetts that focuses primarily on helping individuals navigate the small claims court system in the Commonwealth. Our mission is to empower socioeconomically disadvantaged people in order for them to seek legal redress effectively through the small claims system – a system that is often opaque, especially to those who are informationally and otherwise under resourced – and to protect their rights as consumers, tenants, and members of our community. Through in-person, video, telephone and email communication, we provide clients with information on Massachusetts law, small claims and court presentation procedure. To learn more about SCAS and request support, visit masmallclaims.org.
