How do you appeal against towing company?
You don't "appeal" against them. If you feel you have been wronged by them or they in some way towed you away inappropriately, you file a small claims court case against them and then let the judge decide if they wronged you or towed you away inappropriately.
What does an appallate court do with a case?
An appellate court reviews the decision rendered by the trial court to confirm there has not been an abuse of discretion and that the laws have not been incorrectly applied. After an appeal at the appellate court level, you can appeal to the state supreme court in many cases.
How do you find out what is in someone's will?
If the will has been probated, it becomes a public record, just as property deeds are when they are recorded. You should be able to go to the probate court where the will was probated and ask to see the will or to get a copy of it. You should be able to get this whether you are in the will or not.

If i have a case against someone in small claims court that was dismissed with prejudice could i file i case in civil court?
No. Dismissed with prejudice means the case has already been adjudicated, and that res judicata would prohibit bringing the case again. Furthermore, small claims court is a level of civil court that has a lower monetary jurisdiction than other levels. The alternative to civil court is criminal court, and small claims cases are not, by their nature, criminal matters.

When should you take someone to small claims court over the purchase of a dog?
Whenever your legal rights have been violated, or the contract for the purchase of the dog has been breached by the seller of the dog.

Can you sue in small claims court if you lose the first time?
The broad answer is no, but you should understand why. 1. The term small claims court is used to describe the subject-matter jurisdiction of the court. Subject-matter jurisdiction pertains to the type or amount of money or property that a court is given the authority to address in a lawsuit. For example, small claims court jurisdiction of a court may be $5000. Frequently, small claims court is a "subset" of another court. The name of that court differs state to state, but is sometimes called County Court. That court also has stated subject-matter jurisdiction. In civil (as opposed to criminal) matters, the jurisdiction may go as high as $15,000). If the case is within the jurisdiction of small claims court, it usually proceeds under a more relaxed set of procedural rules. If more money is at stake such that small claims jurisdiction is exceeded, the case proceeds more formally. Often, the same judges that handle small claims cases also handle the larger dollar cases because small claims court is a division of County Court (by whatever name it goes in your State). 2. I assume by your questioin that you want to try to recover something from the other party after having lost the first time. Presumably, you are willing to take less than previously claimed, and at first sued in a court that had higher subject-matter jurisdiction. You cannot do this if the fist case was decided upon its merits (on the facts). This is because of a legal principle called "res judicata". It exists to provide certainty to the law and to bring an end to litigation over the same facts. It prevents the relitigation of the same facts by and between the same parties. 3. If you have used the term "lose" to refer to a dismissal of the case for what may be considered a "technical" reason (for example, the failure to appear at trial), you may have a shot at refiling the case. Often, the law of a State allows one such refiling if there has not been a decision by the Court on the merits of the case, and if the Statute of Limitations for the cause of action has not expired. But remember, if you try to refile in Small Claims Court, your case will have to fit within the confines of the subject-matter jurisdiction of that Court.
For a judgment does The summons come from the collection agencies or the courts?
Summons is a notice that you have to appear in court concerning a matter. It comes from the courts. I would speculate that it came from a small claims court. At least that has been the experience that I have heard from people. The collections agency has filed a claim with the court.
Is it legal for a collection agency to garnish wages on five year old medical bills?
Yes. There should have been a court hearing on this (possibly in Small Claims court?) because they can't do it without the court's authority. Did you happen to ignore a court summons for this, if so, you were probably found "liable" in absentia.
