We do not sell a small claims defense package. Here is why.
Florida Small Claims Rule 7.090(c) says written pretrial motions and defensive pleadings are not necessary unless a judge orders them. You do not owe the court an answer. What you owe the court is your presence at the pretrial conference, which the clerk sets within 50 days of filing — and a defendant who does not show up loses by default no matter how good the defense was.
So there is no document to sell you. Selling one would be selling paper you are not required to file.
