Appeal on Small Claims Judgement
Hello,
I had a small claims suit filed against me and I filed a counter claim. I won the case, the document I received stated I did not owe the plantiff any monies and they where to pay the defendant (me) $3500.00
The plantiff has now filed an appeal, I need some clarification on the appeal as the CA law seems vague on the appeal.
In the appeal is the courts decsion final on the plantiff claim and the only item in question within the appeal is my counter claim?
From what I reseached this seems like the case but it also states that the entire suit is heard all over again, does this put me at risk again on the plantiff's claim?
Thanks

MINOR CORRECTION: In my response I ended by stating "I am a California attorney and write appellate briefs and petitions for writs as well as demurrers, motions for summary judgment, and the like; however, I do so only for other California attorneys. I do handle trial matters for the litigants themselves." I meant by that last sentence to state that "I do NOT handle trial matters for the litigants themselves."
