Our AI asks you simple questions in plain English, then automatically generates legally-compliant demand letters and court forms. No legal jargon, no confusion—just clear questions and professional results.
California Court Compliance
Every document is formatted to meet California court requirements: proper citations, correct forms (SC-100, SC-104), accurate venue determination, and procedural compliance. We handle the technical details.
Automated Tracking & Notifications
Track every step of your case: demand letter sent, deadlines approaching, court dates scheduled. Automated email notifications keep you informed. Everything logged for your third-party audit trail.
Licensed Document Assistants
For our File & Serve package ($199), licensed California Legal Document Assistants review your documents, file with the court, and coordinate service of process. Professional service at a fraction of attorney costs.

Why This Pricing Model Works
We align our incentives with your success—you only pay if you actually need court filing.
Start Risk-Free
Most disputes settle after a demand letter (70-80%). Try that for free first—no credit card, no commitment, no catch. You only pay if you need to escalate.
10x Cost Savings
Attorneys charge $2,000-$5,000+ for simple cases and can't even represent you in small claims court. Our $199 service gets you the same outcome at 10x less cost.
Transparent & Simple
No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no hourly billing. Just two clear prices: $0 for demand letters, $199 for full court filing. That's it.
What About Attorney Fees?
California law prohibits attorneys from representing clients in small claims court anyway (California Code of Civil Procedure § 116.530). So when attorneys charge $2,000-$5,000 for "small claims help," they're really just preparing documents—the exact same thing we do with AI for $0-$199.
You're going to represent yourself either way. We just make the paperwork easy and affordable.
