Wellesley's Court System
Generally, businesses want to resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom. The Katz Law Group frequently guides them through arbitration or mediation to end the case without the expense and publicity of litigation. However, should litigation be necessary, the Katz Law Group can advocate on your behalf in court.
In Wellesley, Massachusetts, there are two courthouses that can hear your case, though neither one is in Wellesley.
If your case involves more than $50,000, it will go before the Norfolk County Superior Court at 650 High Street in Dedham, Massachusetts. If it involves less than $50,000, it will be heard by the Dedham District Court, which is right next to the Superior Court at 631 High Street. The District Court also has magistrates for small claims involving less than $7,000.
