How do I file against a sole proprietorship, partnership or a DBA?
You must name as defendant the individual partner, partners or in the case of a sole proprietorship, the owner of the non-incorporated company. If you do not have the information, you may call the City or County Business License Office where the business is located. When completing the Notice of Small Claim form, you must list the Partner/Owner names and addresses with the DBA (company name).


You may file your small claim against a partnership or sole proprietorship in Jefferson County District Court, if one of the partners or sole proprietor resides in Jefferson County, or if the business is located in Jefferson County.
