They owe you money. Let's get it back.
You don't need a lawyer. For one flat fee, we prepare and file your small claims case and coach you for your day in court — and you keep 100% of what you win.
Takes about 2 minutes. No payment to see if we can help.
If you're owed money, you have more power than you think
Maybe a client ghosted the invoice. A landlord kept your deposit. A contractor took the money and disappeared. You've sent the texts, made the calls, and heard every excuse — and somewhere along the way you started to wonder if it's even worth the fight.
It is. Small claims court exists for exactly this: everyday people getting their money back without a lawyer (in most states, attorneys aren't even allowed). The catch has always been the paperwork — the forms, the right courthouse, getting the other side properly served. That's the part we take off your plate.
- You don't need a lawyer — and in most states you can't bring one anyway.
- You keep 100% of whatever you recover. We charge a flat fee, never a percentage.
- You're never doing this alone — we prepare everything and coach you for the hearing.
The path
Two ways to get your money back
Demand it, or file and win it. Most disputes resolve at one of these two steps — start where your case is, and the next move is simpler than it feels.
Send a demand letter
For you if: Someone owes you and you want to apply real pressure before going to court.
Done for you — we write it and send it.
We draft and send a formal, professional demand letter on your behalf — the kind people take seriously — with a 24-hour turnaround and one revision round. A letter on the record often resolves the dispute without ever going to court.

For you if: Talking hasn't worked and you're ready to take them to court.
Done for you — we prepare and file. You sign, attend, and arrange service.
We prepare and file your entire case — locate the defendant's agent for service, identify the correct courthouse, coordinate service of process, file your proof of service, and coach you for the hearing. You keep 100% of what you win. 100% refund if we don't file your case.

No mystery, no legal maze. Here's the whole path from your side.
Tell us your story
Share the basics — who owes you, what happened, and roughly how much. That's the evaluation. No payment to find out if we can help.
We prepare everything
We confirm we can help, email you next steps, then draft your documents, locate the defendant, and identify the correct courthouse.
The defendant is served
We coordinate service of process so the other side is officially notified — done right, so your case isn't delayed on a technicality.
You show up prepared
You attend the hearing (attorneys aren't allowed in most states — this is your case to tell), and we coach you on what judges want to see.
Common cases we handle
The cases we see most
Small claims is built for everyday disputes — and most fall into a handful of buckets. Here's what tends to win, and the evidence that matters.
Unpaid invoices
Freelancers & small businesses
Written invoices, signed agreements, and email chains are strong evidence. Many settle the moment a proper demand letter lands.
Learn moreSecurity deposits
Tenants
Most states penalize landlords who wrongfully withhold deposits. Move-in photos, the lease, and move-out messages are the core of the case.
Learn moreContract disputes
Freelancers & contractors
Emails and texts can be a contract. Even without a signed agreement, your paper trail is often enough to enforce the deal.
Learn moreDefective or unfinished work
Homeowners
These win on documentation: the original contract, before/after photos, texts with the contractor, and repair estimates from other pros.
Learn moreConsumer disputes
Buyers & online sellers
Refund fights, chargebacks, and online-sale problems hinge on tracking numbers, transaction histories, and message logs.
Learn moreProperty damage
Drivers & neighbors
Car accidents and damaged belongings. Photos, repair estimates, and a clear record of who caused what carry these cases.

We'd rather over-explain this now than surprise you later.
Our flat fee
- Small claims filing — $299 flat. One time. No percentage of your winnings, ever.
- Demand letter — $149 flat. 24-hour turnaround, one revision included.
Paid separately — not to us
- Court filing fee — Typically $30–$100, paid to the court.
- Process-server fee — Typically $40–$100, paid to the server.
If you win, the judge usually awards both of these costs back to you — the defendant reimburses them as part of the judgment.
That's the entire cost. We'll never surprise you with an add-on, a "percentage of recovery," or a fee you didn't agree to up front.

Questions people ask before they start
The honest answers — including what we can't promise.
Everything to file your case: document preparation, locating the defendant's agent for service, identifying the correct courthouse, coordinating service of process, and filing your proof of service — plus hearing coaching. Two costs are paid separately, directly to the court and server: the filing fee (typically $30–$100) and the process-server fee (typically $40–$100). If you win, the judge usually awards both of those costs back to you as part of the judgment.
Never. You keep 100% of whatever you recover. Our flat fee — $149 for a demand letter, $299 to file — is the only cost for our services. No hidden fees, no contingency, no surprises.
No — in most states, attorneys aren't even allowed to represent you in small claims court. That's the whole point: it's designed for regular people to represent themselves. We handle the paperwork and filing so you can focus on telling your side to the judge.
Outcomes are ultimately up to the judge — we can't guarantee a result, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we control is making sure your paperwork is filed correctly, the defendant is properly served, and you walk in fully prepared. That's the part that's been holding you back, and it's the part we handle.
Demand letters have a 24-hour turnaround. For filing, once you send us your details we typically file within 5–7 business days. Court dates are usually 30–70 days after filing, and most cases run about 2–3 months from start to judgment.
Collecting on a judgment is a separate, post-judgment process — wage garnishment, bank levies, property liens, or a debtor's exam — and it's not a service we offer. Our free state-by-state collection guides walk through exactly how it works where you are, and for hands-on help, a licensed judgment-recovery professional or collections attorney is the right call (they typically charge a percentage of what they recover).
Tell us what happened. We'll show you the fastest way to get paid.
Free case evaluation — no cost, no obligation. Tell us who owes you and roughly how much, and we'll tell you whether we can help and which stage fits, before you pay anything. Takes about 2 minutes.
