Expert Legal Writing by a Licensed US Attorney
About this Gig
Small claims court is designed for everyone, but a poorly written complaint can sink your case before it starts. Present your claim with the clarity and professionalism it deserves. As a licensed US attorney, I will transform your story into a compelling, easy-to-understand complaint that gets the judge's attention.
I will help you clearly state:
- Who you are suing and why.
- The key events that led to the dispute, in a logical order.
- What you are owed and how you calculated the amount.
- The legal basis for your claim in plain English.
Whether your dispute is over a contract, property damage, an unpaid loan, or faulty services, a strong complaint is your first step toward resolution. I will ensure your document is tailored to the specifics of small claims court, focusing on clarity and directness.
Process:
- Provide your state/county and a detailed account of your dispute.
- I will locate the correct forms (if available online) and draft your complaint.
- You receive a completed document, ready for you to sign and file.

FAQ
Do you know the specific rules for my local small claims court?
I will research your jurisdiction's publicly available forms and basic requirements. However, you are ultimately responsible for confirming all local rules, filing fees, and deadlines with your specific court clerk.
Can you guarantee that I will win my case?
No. The outcome of a case depends on the evidence, the judge, and the strength of your facts. My service guarantees a professionally drafted complaint that presents your case in the strongest possible light on paper.
What is the "monetary limit" for small claims court?
This varies by state and can range from $2,500 to $25,000. It is your responsibility to ensure your claim amount is within your local court's limit before ordering.
Will your name or law firm appear on the document?
No. The documents will be prepared for you to file as a self-represented ("pro se") litigant. My role is that of a drafter.
What happens after I file the complaint?
Typically, you will need to "serve" the defendant with the lawsuit papers. The court will then schedule a hearing. My service provides the initial complaint; you are responsible for all subsequent steps. The Premium package provides general guidance on this process.
