This tool collects the information needed to file a small claims case in California. Our team reviews every submission and prepares your SC-100 filing. This tool does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Common Counsel is a technology platform, not a law firm. We use AI to match you with an independent partner attorney who provides the legal services. Prices shown are the recommended default we suggest network attorneys charge — attorneys have full control over their rates, and if an attorney charges more than our published price, Common Counsel subsidizes the difference so you pay what we quoted. No attorney-client relationship forms until you sign an engagement letter directly with your attorney.
