If you are the one seeking to file a lawsuit, you need to check with your local courthouse (or the courthouse of where the transaction/claim) took place. Civil lawsuits can cost as little as $75 to file but fees vary. Federal lawsuits can cost more. You have to take into consideration that you will have to have the person served (could be a couple of hundred dollars).

$20

It depends on the jurisdiction in question. Nowadays, most claims under $10,000 are legally required to be handled in Small Claims Court. The minimum you can ask for is generally an artifact of old legislation in your area, and may be set ridiculously low (as the above $20 indicates), or may have been updated more recently to something reasonable (like $100 or more). Ask your local Sheriff or city Police Department (or, District Attorney's office), as they should know for sure in your area.
