Exceptions and details
Minnesota calls small claims 'Conciliation Court' (a division of district court). Limit is $20,000 generally, but $4,000 when the claim involves a consumer credit transaction (a creditor suing a consumer). It was raised from $15,000 by 2024 Minn. Laws ch. 123, art. 15, § 6. The Minnesota Judicial Branch conciliation court page also states $20,000 (https://mncourts.gov/help-topics/conciliation-court). Excluded cases include title to real estate, libel or slander, class actions, eviction, and medical malpractice (§ 491A.01, subd. 4).
MSBA (voluntary statewide bar; site shared with the Hennepin and Ramsey County bars) does not run its own referral service. This MSBA page links to Minnesota Lawyer Referral (https://www.mnlawyerreferral.org/), 'a program of the Hennepin and Ramsey County Bar Associations' whose attorneys have offices in the Twin Cities metro area, plus MSBA's MN-Find-a-Lawyer directory.
