Practice law at your own pace

If your opponent has an attorney and you don’t, you’re outmatched. The lawyer representing your opponent has a graduate education in the law, years of practice on the types of claims in your case, and relationships with local judges and court staff. Courtroom5 is designed to help people without lawyers overcome these advantages so you get a fair hearing in court.

Courtroom5 has served people handling foreclosures, wrongful termination, debt collection, high-conflict divorce, child custody, probate, and many other legal issues that rely on rules of civil procedure. Criminal cases, traffic tickets, small claims, and evictions are not well suited to Courtroom5.

Courtroom5 is a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ platform, but you’re not alone. Our friendly chatbot is instantly available at all times, and human support via email is easy to reach from within your account. Expert services are available as needed — a lawyer (where available) for a brief consultation or document review, a practice session for your oral argument, or a strategy workshop to help you ask the right questions about your case — all at reasonable flat fees.

The All-In membership plan is designed for those who want a concierge experience — a dedicated case manager for data entry, analysis and legal research support, and a monthly check-in to keep you on track.

AI is a powerful tool for generating legal documents and makes it easier to represent yourself in court. However, general AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude “hallucinate” — they make things up — and that’s dangerous in litigation.

Here’s how it works: You tell an AI agent what you’d like to file, or upload a document you’ve received and ask for a response you can file. The AI agent will give you a professional legal document, complete with a persuasive argument and citations to case law. The problem is that the argument may be based on fake law, and the citations may be entirely fictitious. (If you ask, AI will even write case law out of thin air, using the names of real judges who never wrote the opinion.) Judges have ordered 4-figure fines as a sanction for filing these documents. There’s no better way to lose credibility in court.

Courtroom5 uses AI too, but with guardrails that prevent you from filing hallucinated documents. Our process is “law first, argument second”, which means your documents are backed by real legal research and analysis of the facts in your case. You’ll do slightly more work than uploading a document, but the process ensures you know what you’re filing and can argue it in court, where rulings are actually decided.
