Petty Lawsuit

PettyLawsuit is a legal services platform that helps consumers and small businesses pursue money they believe they are owed through small claims court. Designed to make the process more accessible, it guides users through preparing a case without requiring them to hire a lawyer. The service is presented as available in all 50 states and supports disputes such as unreturned rental deposits, unpaid invoices, damaged property, and other claims against individuals or businesses.

Users describe the dispute, provide defendant information, and upload supporting evidence such as receipts, contracts, photos, emails, or texts. PettyLawsuit uses this information to prepare demand letters and, if needed, pre-filled court documents, with guidance on next steps. Its services include a free case preview, a $29 option for a demand letter with certified-mail delivery, and a $49 package that adds phone outreach and automated follow-ups. Court filing fees are separate. The platform says many disputes settle before a hearing and offers tools to help users organize evidence and navigate the process, while noting that outcomes depend on the case and court.
