Advottic publishes the first side-by-side ranking of small claims court in all 50 states

Edina, MN — July 3, 2026. Advottic, the AI legal-prep platform built and operated by Techno Optics LLC, today published a free, side-by-side ranking of small claims court rules across all 50 states — the first time the platform’s existing state-by-state small claims data has been presented as a single comparison instead of 50 individual lookups.

The report answers the questions people actually ask when they search: which state has the highest small claims limit (Delaware and Tennessee, tied at $25,000), which has the lowest (Kentucky, at $2,500), which states bar attorneys from representing either side (eleven, including California and Michigan), and which states allow no appeal at all from a small claims judgment (five, including Arizona and North Dakota).

“Every state publishes its own small claims rules, but nobody puts them next to each other,” said Abel Muchai, founder of Techno Optics LLC. “If you’re a tenant in Kentucky wondering why your security-deposit claim is capped so much lower than a neighboring state, or a reporter trying to explain why your state changed its limit, that comparison didn’t exist as a single page anywhere. Now it does, and it’s free.”
