FAQs
We are not a lawyer or a law firm, and we cannot provide you with legal advice.
We do have an add-on where you can have a California lawyer review your lawsuit and evidence.
We are a technology company made up of lawyers, legal professionals, and engineers. Together, we built the JusticeDirect technology to help you affordably and confidently navigate your small claims lawsuit. Our goal is to provide you with all the tools and support to help you 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!
Here are some factors that go into whether you will win your small claims lawsuit:
Are you right on the law? Whether the law is on your side depends on the type of case you have and the laws that apply. If you have doubts about your case, you can add our optional add-on, where an independent attorney can review your lawsuit and evidence and answer up to 3 questions in writing (currently only available for California cases). We also have hundreds of free legal information articles available on JusticeDirect Academy.
Did you follow the right procedure? This is where we excel. We ensure that you have followed all the correct steps so that you get your day in court and attend your hearing prepared.
Did you organize your evidence? As part of our process, you will upload all your evidence, and our software will help you organize it into a judge-friendly evidence packet. We will also provide you with evidence checklists for common types of cases.
The hearings are normally scheduled 30-75 days after the lawsuit is filed.
Most judges decide cases within 7-14 days after the hearing.
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 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).
Goods. You bought an item and didn't receive it or you sold an item and didn't get paid for it.
Insurance Companies. Your insurance company didn't pay you for a claim they should have paid you for.
Services. You paid for a service and didn't receive it or you provided a service and didn't get paid.
Personal Injury. Someone caused you to get hurt.

Justice Direct and People Clerk did an excellent job of helping me organize and file my small claims case. They went the full route finding that my defendant was actually a branch of a national LLC. I may have had trouble collecting if they had gone the extra mile in researching that. Their help in completing the paperwork and arranging for service of process saved me hours of effort. Outstanding organization!
