In most (maybe all?) small claims courts you are forbidden to have a lawyer present. Companies generally send an administrative assistant or something similar. You are welcome to retain an attorney before and after the hearing, but they can not be present during.

In Massachusetts, you may have an attorney in small claims court. [1] I think most states allow it, but it isn't super common to actually do.

Not in California, fwiw. (Mention only because many people here are in CA, although I know the op is in MA).
