We are not a lawyer or a law firm. We are an affordable way to resolve your small claims dispute and get justice.

Fun fact: Lawyers are not allowed to represent clients in California small claims court at the initial small claims hearing. If you need a lawyer, we can help connect you with one! 

Only the judge can decide this 👩‍⚖️

To have a better chance at winning, it is very important your evidence is organized and you are prepared to tell your side of the story to the judge. We help you prepare for the hearing by creating an organized evidence packet for you!

So long as there isn't another court that is more specific to your lawsuit (for example, eviction court), then the lawsuit can be filed in small claims.

The most common types of small claims lawsuits in California are:

• Security Deposit. ​Your landlord did not return your security deposit.

• Rent. Your tenant or roommate didn't pay the rent.

• Loan. You loaned someone money and they didn't pay you back.

• Car Accident. Someone hit your car while driving and now you have to pay for the repair work.

• Mechanic. ​You hired a mechanic to repair your car and they did a terrible job.

• Contractors. You hired a contractor to perform work at your home and they did a terrible job.

• Neighbor. Your neighbor damaged your property.

• Contracts. You had a contract with someone and they broke the contract.

• Damage to Property. Someone damaged your property (e.g. house, car, bicycle).

Without the correct address, we may not be able to serve the lawsuit later on. 

How to find the other person's address: 

• Phone Number. Try a reverse phone number lookup. Type the phone number into a Google Search and see what you find. You can also check with "reverse phone number lookup" companies aswell.

• General Google Search. You would be surprised by what you can find on Google. Try searching their email address, old address, or previous employer. You can also check to see what you find on Linkedin (the person can be served at work) or other social media.

• Hire a skip tracer. You can also hire a 3rd party to search for where the other party may have moved to but this isn’t always successful.
