DEMAND LETTER SUCCESS

"Got my $2,400 security deposit back in 3 weeks after my landlord ignored me for months. Lawzuit's demand letter did the trick."

— Sarah M., Los Angeles

🔨

"Contractor took my $5,000 and disappeared. Filed with Lawzuit for $199, won my case in court. Total game changer."

— James T., San Diego

How It Worked: Demand letter ignored → Filed SC-100 via Lawzuit → Won default judgment → Collecting via wage garnishment

However, our users consistently report 90%+ cost savings and significantly faster resolution compared to traditional legal services.

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.
