PREPARATION GUIDE

Three clear tasks

  1. 01

    Tell us your situation

    Choose the state, filing area and case role, then answer ordinary factual questions. Saved account answers let you return to the preparation.

  2. 02

    Review the included forms

    Check which PDFs the selected route supports and what still needs manual review, local supplements or professional advice. A supported state does not mean every procedure or final-stage form is automated.

  3. 03

    Use the official court instructions

    Review the actual output, then follow the court’s current submission, notice and later-step requirements. This service does not file the case or guarantee acceptance.

GUIDANCE

Every state and DC

Source-linked state guides and a court finder covering 3,122 local filing areas. Court resources do not decide legal venue for an individual case.

SELECTED PDF DRAFTS

Exact documents across 50 states and Washington, DC

Some places offer an opening draft; others offer only a free cover sheet, summons, report or companion PDF. New caption-first routes require manual completion of legal choices and remaining original questions. County restrictions may apply.

SEPARATE COURT STEPS

You control the submission

Court filing fees, service, legal representation and completing required court steps are separate from the $39 preparation purchase.

PREPARATION GUIDE

See an original form before entering your own facts.

Our California example page shows blank original FL-100 and FL-110 references and a clearly fictional caption. It explains the role of the fields without choosing your legal requests.

A preview helps you understand the layout. The correct current form, actual answers, required attachments and appropriate execution still need review.
