Your Goals
Someone owes you money and won't pay. You want what's rightfully yours without spending thousands on a lawyer or wasting months in confusion.
The Problem You're Facing
Traditional Legal Services:
- ✗$350/hour attorneys that can't even represent you in small claims court
- ✗$2,000-$5,000+ total cost for simple cases
- ✗Months of waiting for consultations and document prep
- ✗Confusing legal jargon that makes you feel powerless
Going It Alone:
- ✗Intimidating court forms with no guidance
- ✗Risk of mistakes that could cost you your case
- ✗No support when you have questions
- ✗Uncertainty about whether you're doing it right
The Result?
92% of low-income Americans receive inadequate or no legal help for their civil legal problems. Most people simply give up on money they're legally owed—not because they don't have a case, but because the system is too expensive and complicated.

Your Chances of Success
The data shows that ordinary people win in small claims court—especially when they're prepared.
Settle After Demand Letter
Most disputes resolve after a professionally drafted demand letter is sent. That means you get your money back without ever going to court.
A demand letter signals you're serious, know your rights, and are prepared to take legal action. For most defendants, that's enough to prompt payment.
Source: Industry ResearchAvoid Trial
Even among cases that get filed in court, 95% settle before trial. The vast majority of defendants pay up once they realize you're not backing down.
Filing a lawsuit creates real consequences for defendants: public record, credit impact, potential wage garnishment. Most choose to settle rather than fight.
