"As a single mom working two jobs, I couldn’t afford a lawyer to fight for custody. My Court Advantage’s Arkansas Divorce Kit showed me exactly how to file for full custody myself. When the judge saw my perfectly completed parenting plan and financial affidavits, he told me I should go to Law School!" – Sheila T., Single Mother of 3, Fayetteville, AR
A. Divorce & Family Law
• Divorce (Uncontested & Contested) – Filing petitions, child custody forms, spousal support.
• Child Custody & Support Modifications – Adjusting court orders post-divorce.
• Domestic Violence Restraining Orders – Emergency filings without a lawyer.
• Paternity Actions – Establishing legal fatherhood and child support.
Why? Family court has the highest pro se rates (up to 80% in some jurisdictions) because lawyers are costly, and many people can’t afford them for lengthy disputes.
B. Landlord-Tenant Disputes
• Evictions (Tenant & Landlord Side) – Answering eviction notices, filing defenses.
• Security Deposit Disputes – Small claims filings.
• Habitability Claims – Tenants suing for repairs/rent reductions.
Why? Low-income tenants often can’t afford lawyers, while landlords sometimes handle cases themselves to save costs.
C. Small Claims Court
• Debt Collection Defense – Responding to lawsuits from creditors.
• Breach of Contract – Small business disputes, unpaid invoices.
• Property Damage Claims – Car accidents, neighbor disputes.
Why? Small claims is designed for self-representation, but people still struggle with procedures.
D. Probate & Estate Issues
• Simple Wills & Living Trusts – Basic estate planning documents.
• Probate Filings – Handling estates without a lawyer.
• Guardianship Petitions – For minors or incapacitated adults.
Why? Lawyers charge high fees for probate, pushing many to file pro se.
E. Traffic & Minor Criminal Cases
• Traffic Ticket Appeals – Fighting speeding tickets, license suspensions.
• Expungements – Clearing old criminal records.
• Misdemeanor Defense – DUIs, petty theft (where allowed).
Why? Many can’t justify lawyer fees for minor offenses.
F. Debt & Consumer Law
• Bankruptcy (Chapter 7 Pro Se Filings) – DIY bankruptcy petitions.
• Debt Collection Harassment – FDCPA violations.
• Student Loan Disputes – Defending against default judgments.
Why? Debt cases are overwhelming, and legal aid is scarce.
G. Prisoner Services
• Civil Rights & Prison Conditions – Help file lawsuits for abuse, medical neglect, or unconstitutional treatment
• Sentence & Parole Challenges – Assist with sentence recalculations, compassionate release, and unfair parole denials
• Post-Conviction Relief – Guide on appeals for wrongful convictions, new evidence, or ineffective counsel
Why? Prisons limit access to justice—we provide tools so incarcerated individuals can fight for their rights, even when no lawyer will.
