Document Wizard

Let's build your court papers.

Six short steps. Everything stays on your device — we don't store your answers, your files, or anything you say. When you're done, you'll have a properly formatted document you can download, print, or take to the courthouse.

Step 1 of 6

Where are you filing?

We use your state and county to apply the right court rules, deadlines, and forms. Your ZIP code helps us point to the correct local courthouse.

Step 2 of 6

What do you need to do?

Pick the situation that most closely matches yours. You can always change this later.

Step 3 of 6

Tell us what happened.

In your own words. Don't worry about legal language — we'll translate it. Speak it out loud, type it, or upload the papers you were served.

Private. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Step 4 of 6

Fill in the specifics.

These details appear on the document. Put what you know — you can leave items blank and fill them in by hand later.

Step 5 of 6

Any other documents to reference?

Optional. If you have contracts, receipts, texts, photos, or prior court papers that support your side, attach them. We'll keep them on-device as reference — nothing leaves your browser.

Drag files here, or click to browse

PDFs, Word docs, images, or plain text. Any file is welcome.

No files? That's fine. Most people don't have anything to upload at this stage. Click Continue to move on.

How to file it — step by step

Before you file: Read your document one more time out loud. Check every name, date, and dollar amount. If anything looks wrong, click the text and fix it, then download again. Courts are strict about deadlines — file early if you can.
