The plaintiff decides. However, there are two main exceptions: If it is over $5000, it must be tried in county court. And, if the Defendant wishes, he or she may remove the case from Small Claims court to county or district court where he or she may be represented by an attorney. Be careful, if you file in small claims court and it is removed, you will lose the right to trial by jury.
