What CaseBySelf does
CaseBySelf is a case-organization platform built for people who are handling a small-claims case without a lawyer. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
- Evidence & Files: Upload evidence, add labels and descriptions, and link files to the facts they support.
- Important Dates: Track court dates and tasks in one place, with prompts to verify deadlines with your court.
- Facts & Evidence: Organize the story of what happened and the evidence that backs each point up.
- Task Management: Prioritized checklists break complex legal processes into clear next steps.
- Official Forms: Find official court and self-help resources, then keep drafts and paperwork organized.
- Case Agent: Paid Q&A and suggested updates based on the case materials you save — reviewed before anything is added.
How it works
- Fill in the basics. Add information about your case, then upload court documents, notices, photos, receipts, and messages.
- Organize the record. Save facts, evidence, documents, tasks, and important dates in one place. Official deadlines still need to be verified with your court.
- Add Case Agent help. On Litigator, ask questions about saved case materials and approve suggested updates before they are saved.
