The problems it aims to address
Ranked by what's at stake
- 1
Winning doesn't mean getting paid
Step-by-step collection, garnishment forms and the 21-day clock, so a judgment becomes money.
- 2
Cases fail on procedure
Guided filing and a service tracker catch the wrong court, wrong defendant or bad service before they sink the case.
- 3
Almost everyone goes alone
In Michigan lawyers can't appear in small claims at all. Get a guide for every step at a price that fits a small claim.
- 4
Fear of the hearing
Spoken rehearsal with an AI judge and a cross-examining opponent, so you don't freeze or ramble.
- 5
Time and money out of proportion
A "Should I sue?" check and a cost calculator before anyone files.
- 6
Defendants are blindsided
A defendant mode: deadlines, options and how to answer the claim.

From the research to the rehearsal
A judgment is a milestone—not the finish line.
Your small-claims research identifies three separate challenges: deciding whether a claim is worth pursuing, getting the procedure right, and collecting after a win. Preparation needs to cover all three.
Count the real cost
Compare the amount at stake with filing fees, service costs, time away from work, and the practical chance of collection before choosing your next step.
Build a clear evidence story
Organize receipts, messages, agreements, and photos around the facts you need to explain. Practice a short, chronological account instead of reading a pile of papers.
Plan beyond the hearing
Learn what a judgment does—and does not—do. Explore the collection process and check the court’s current forms and requirements before acting.
Research: Small Claims Pain Points. The Albany collection survey and Massachusetts court-user survey describe local samples, not national success rates. Filing and collection requirements vary by jurisdiction.
A coach and a rehearsal room. Never a robot lawyer.
