About Pro Se Legal Docs
A self-help tool for people handling a court case without a lawyer. Built and run by Stacklis, an independent software company.
What we do
You answer plain-English questions about your case. We turn your answers into a draft document laid out the way courts expect: an answer to an eviction or debt lawsuit, a small claims filing, a divorce petition, a parenting plan, a restraining order request, and more. You can preview it for free, and the complete PDF is a one-time $9.
What we are not
We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. You are responsible for reviewing your document before you sign or file it. If your case is complex or a lot is at stake, talk to a licensed attorney or find free legal aid near you.
How documents are made
An AI model (currently GPT-4o) drafts your document from your answers, in the format your court expects. It works only from what you tell it, so the draft is only as accurate as your answers. Read every line before you file, and fix anything that does not match your situation.
Where our legal information comes from
- Our state and case pages link to each state's official court self-help site and to the government agency that covers each case type.
- State-specific facts, such as a small claims limit or a filing deadline, are copied from official court or government pages. Each one links to its source and shows the date we checked it.
- If we cannot find a fee, deadline, or limit on an official source, we do not publish it. We point you to your court instead.
- Court rules change. Always confirm the current rules with your court before you file.
Corrections
If you find something wrong or out of date, email support@stacklis.com. We check it against the official source, fix it, and update the date.
Your information and refunds
Payments go through Stripe; we never see your card details. How your answers are handled is in our privacy policy, and the full rules are in our terms. Not happy with a document? You get a full refund within 24 hours.
