Exceptions and details
Limit is exclusive of interest and costs and applies to tort and contract claims (RSMo § 482.305, unchanged since Aug. 28, 2011). Under RSMo § 482.330, assignees of a claim (e.g., debt buyers/collectors) may not use small claims court, a party who has filed more than 12 other small claims in Missouri in the current calendar year is barred, and venue is limited to the county where a defendant resides/plaintiff resides and a defendant is found, or where the facts arose.
The Missouri Bar no longer lists a fee-based Lawyer Referral Service; its public 'Find a Lawyer' link goes to LawyerSearch, a free list of Missouri lawyers who have opted in and say they are accepting new clients (searchable by practice area and county). Missouri Courts' 'Finding and Hiring a Lawyer' page points to the same tool.
