Henderson Small Claims Court: Where and How to File

Which court

Clark County has separate township courts. File here only if the defendant lives, works or does business in Henderson Township, or lived or worked there when the claim arose, or the injury or contract performance was there. A Henderson-area address isn't proof of the township, so check before you file.
