The flow

From what happened to a filed complaint

Every California lawsuit starts with the same three basic documents. SueEasy prepares all three, and unlike the filing portals attorneys use, it actually helps you write the hard one.

01

Name who harmed you

Enter the person or business you are suing and where they are located. SueEasy automatically selects the right California Superior Court for your case.

02

Tell your story, any way you like

Speak it, type it, or drop in your receipts, photos, and messages. Six languages supported at intake.

03

Find the legal claims that fit your case

SueEasy reviews what happened and compares it with California law to identify the legal claims that may fit your case.

04

Answer a few more questions

A short interview, written for your case from the claims you picked, fills in what your complaint still needs. Upload your receipts and records right beside the question they answer.

05

Review your filing package

A complete lawsuit document, plus the summons and civil cover sheet, all formatted to meet your court's local requirements.

06

File on your own or with an attorney

Submit through SueEasy for one flat fee, or hand it to a reviewing attorney before it goes to the clerk.

What SueEasy hands the court

Three documents. Prepared and filed together.

The existing e-filing vendors are procedural: they move paper. SueEasy is the first to merge preparing the complaint with filing it, as a certified electronic filing service provider.

COMPLAINT

The complaint

Formatted according to California court requirements, with the people involved, why the court can hear your case, what happened, and the legal claims clearly explained.

SUM-100

The summons

The court-issued notice that tells the person or business you are suing that a lawsuit has been filed against them and how long they have to respond. SueEasy fills it in using the information from your case.

CM-010

Civil cover sheet

A one-page court form that identifies what kind of case you are filing, how much money you are asking for, and other information the court needs to process your filing.

Certified electronic filing service providerApproval pending, live by launch

California requires court documents to be submitted through an approved electronic filing service. SueEasy is completing that certification: technical onboarding, PDF validation, and the fee-transmission integration, and expects to be an approved provider by the time the product goes live. Until then, filings prepared here are ready to print and file at the courthouse.

Built to hold up in court

A complaint is only as strong as its weakest point.

The person or business you are suing can ask the court to dismiss your case early if your lawsuit does not clearly explain a valid legal claim. SueEasy clearly explains each legal claim, shows the California law supporting it, and flags weak areas before you file. This helps you submit a more complete and well-supported lawsuit.

Tips for plaintiffs

Preserve your evidence, it wins cases

Most civil cases come down to proof, not speeches. A dated text, an original photo, a receipt, each one turns your word into something a court can weigh. The catch: evidence only keeps its power if you preserve it the right way, and most people destroy the most valuable part without knowing it.

Keep the original

Never retype, crop, or edit. Keep the source thread, mailbox, and photo exactly where it is, even after you export a copy. Deleting the original can turn your best proof into a dispute about authenticity.

Export with the metadata

Original files carry hidden context, who sent a message, exactly when, from which account or device, and where a photo was taken. That context is what makes evidence credible to a court. A pasted quote proves nothing; a properly exported file proves itself.

Upload everything to SueEasy

When you file with SueEasy, your evidence locker opens on day one. Upload every receipt, photo, text export, and email as you go, each file gets tied to the allegation it proves, and our team sees exactly what backs your case.

How to do it, device by device

Step-by-step walkthroughs for getting your texts and emails out of your phone and into your case, the right way.

Start filing, upload evidence as you go These walkthroughs are also built into your case dashboard, so they're one tap away whenever you're adding evidence.
