About SmallClaims
A simpler way to prepare a small claims case
SmallClaims is built for self-represented people who need a clearer way to send a demand letter and, if necessary, continue into small claims document preparation. The product does not replace the court, a lawyer, or your own responsibility to review and file correctly.
Private document prep — not a law firm
SmallClaims helps organize the facts and proof you provide. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice.
Demand letter first
If you have not sent a written demand, we help prepare and send a certified demand letter before filing.
Nationwide document preparation
If the dispute is not resolved, the same intake can continue into small claims document preparation for your state.
What the packet is designed to help with
Small claims cases often become stressful because the evidence is scattered across phones, email inboxes, receipts, estimates, and screenshots. SmallClaims helps organize those materials into a format that is easier to review before filing or appearing.
- Plain-English case summary
- Timeline of key events
- Damages table
- Evidence index and exhibit labels
- Missing evidence checklist
- Court-day preparation notes
How it works
Start with the basics
Confirm your location, claim, and dispute type so the intake starts in the right place.
Add facts and proof
Enter what happened, who is involved, what you are asking for, and the evidence you have.
Continue if needed
If the demand letter does not resolve the dispute, continue into small claims document preparation.
