This is a standard legal phrase you use when filing a lawsuit in Superior Court. The court's jurisdiction starts at $25,000, so you allege that your case has greater damages. But at the beginning of the lawsuit, before discovery (the sharing of evidence) you don't know what the damages are -- that's something determined later in the process. You shouldn't derive anything from that other than she has a lawyer who knows what language needs to be in the complaint for the case to proceed.
