Read this before you rely on anything we publish.

Not a law firm

CivilCase is owned and operated by a technology company, not a law firm. Using this site, signing up for an account, generating a demand letter, or corresponding with us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing you tell us is protected by attorney-client privilege.

Not legal advice

The state guides, demand letter templates, and other content on CivilCase are general legal information presented for educational purposes. They are not tailored to your facts and do not account for the dozens of circumstances that can change how the law applies to you. Consult a licensed attorney in your state if your case has any of the following:

• Damages above your state’s small-claims jurisdictional limit.
• Personal injury, defamation, or other tort claims.
• Disputes involving real property title, family law, or probate.
• Counterclaims that exceed the small-claims cap.
• Anything involving a federal claim, a government defendant, or arbitration clauses.
• Any case where you face criminal exposure or a regulatory complaint.

You are responsible for your own filings

Documents generated by CivilCase are produced from the information you provide. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information and for the legal sufficiency of any document you sign, send, or file with a court. Always read documents before signing or filing. Always verify deadlines, court addresses, and filing fees against the official court website before relying on them.

Information may be out of date

State laws, court rules, fees, and forms change frequently. We work hard to keep our guides current and we publish a Last updated date on every state page, but we cannot guarantee that every fact is current at the moment you read it. When timing matters, confirm with the official source.

No guarantee of outcome

CivilCase does not guarantee that you will win your case, recover money, or achieve any particular outcome. Whether your case succeeds depends on the facts, the evidence, the judge, and your own preparation, none of which we control. Past outcomes for other CivilCase users do not predict your result.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CivilCase’s liability arising from your use of this site is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. CivilCase is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost recovery, lost time, or court costs you paid based on information you found here.

Use of AI

CivilCase uses AI to draft documents and research state laws. AI output is reviewed by humans before publication, but you should still read every document we generate before sending or filing it. AI can make mistakes, including citing statutes that don’t apply to your case or omitting requirements that do. Read the document.

Consult an attorney when in doubt

CivilCase is built for the everyday disputes that don’t justify hiring a lawyer. If you’re unsure whether your case fits that description, the answer is probably to consult an attorney. Most state bars run a lawyer referral service that will connect you with a licensed attorney for a short, low-cost consultation.

Jurisdictional limitations

CivilCase is intended for use only by individuals and small businesses pursuing claims in U.S. small-claims, justice, or comparable trial-level courts in the fifty United States and the District of Columbia. We do not provide content for federal court litigation, tribal court matters, international disputes, or any matter outside the United States.
