Common cases handled with Courtroom5
Is Courtroom5 right for you?
You don’t have to know the law already. You just need to be ready to learn what your case requires.
This is for you if you:
- Have an active civil case — including family court and custody cases — or expect to bring or defend one
- Are in a U.S. state or federal court
- Are representing yourself and willing to review your facts, weigh your options and prepare the work you file
- Want to win your case, not just survive it
Not the right fit if you:
- Only need a restraining order, or help with criminal charges or a traffic ticket
- Have a matter outside U.S. state or federal courts (tribal, agency, military or immigration)
- Have an attorney handling your case, or are actively looking for one
- Want someone to represent you, decide for you or file for you
Sounds like me — start for $1 Court dates don’t move for you. The sooner you start, the more ready you’ll be.
AI can write you a document in seconds. It can’t tell you whether it’s the right one.
A general-purpose AI chatbot answers whatever you ask. It doesn’t know what your claim requires, which facts you can prove, or what your court expects next. Courtroom5 works from your case — your facts, your filings, your court’s rules — and every case it cites is real.
Already use AI?
Courtroom5’s free tools work inside ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini. Ask your questions where you already are, and bring your case here when it’s time to prepare.

The discipline
A document isn’t a case.
A filing can sound convincing and still leave the important questions unanswered. Here’s how serious litigators work.
01
Know the elements.
Every claim and defense has parts that must be proven. Know yours.
02
Prove facts, not stories.
Break what happened into specific facts and tie each one to evidence.
03
Make the call.
Compare your options and the tradeoffs before choosing a move.
04
Act. Don’t react.
Reacting is trying to outrun a car that’s chasing you. Step off the road and choose your path.
05
File what you can stand behind.
Read the sources, check the facts, and prepare to explain every line.
06
Rest between rounds.
Litigation has highs and lows. Regroup, then go back in.
07
Practice before you argue.
Say what you’re asking for, which facts support it, and how the law applies.
That’s the whole method. We built the tools around it.
See it in 78 seconds
Manage your entire case, not just the filings.
Connect your facts and evidence to the law, and let every filing show the court why you should win.

“The plaintiff was seeking up to $312,000 in damages. The plaintiff has a large staff of attorneys that I prevailed against without stepping into the courtroom one time in basically three months time.”

WJB · voluntary dismissal
★★★★★
“Defense has accused me of receiving counsel’s assistance and pleads in their answer that I should not get any pro se leniency. That is the power of Courtroom5.”

It won’t decide for you.
It lays out your options. You make the call.
It won’t file for you.

It won’t hide its sources.
Every case it cites is real. Read it before the judge does.
It won’t lock you in.
