Courtroom5

Courtroom5 provides legal guidance to the 80% of civil litigants who appear in court without an attorney. Three jurisdiction-aware tools cover serious civil matters across all 50 US states: a case intake assessment that identifies viable claims and first steps; a deadline calculator that returns precise procedural deadlines and miss-consequences by state and court level; and next-step guidance for users mid-litigation.

You can use Courtroom5 to:

Case intake for a self-represented worker:
"I was fired from my job in Texas three weeks ago, two days after I reported safety violations to OSHA. My employer says I was terminated for 'performance issues' but my last review six months ago was excellent. I think this is retaliation. I can't afford a lawyer — what are my options?"

Multi-tool guidance for a homeowner facing foreclosure:
"My mortgage company in Florida filed a foreclosure lawsuit against me last month after I fell behind on payments during a medical emergency. I got served two weeks ago and I'm panicking. What can I even do at this point?"

Next-step guidance for a defendant mid-discovery:
"I'm a defendant in a contract dispute in North Carolina. I filed my answer two weeks ago. What should I be doing right now to prepare?"
