This statement is not true. Lawyers ARE allowed in small claims court. NY might discourage it, or limit it, but not in all states. It's a very long story, but what I ended up finding out is that in some states they actually have small claims court lawyers. Generally you still have to show up, but saying that a lawyer is not allowed is wrong.
As I said, maybe there is some local or state thing where he is that flat out says no lawyers, but I doubt it.
