Hello Court is coming to California.
Hello Court helps everyday people handle everyday legal problems themselves, in plain language, without needing a lawyer for things they can do on their own. We are building California next. Join the waitlist and we will email you the moment our California guides go live, starting with the most common money disputes like security deposits and unpaid wages.
What Hello Court does
Hello Court is a legal-information and document-preparation service for people who want to handle a straightforward legal matter on their own. We explain how the process works in plain language, help you understand your options, and prepare the kinds of documents people commonly need.
We are not a law firm, and we do not give legal advice about your specific situation. For matters that genuinely need a lawyer, we help you find one. For the many everyday problems people can handle themselves, we make the path clear and far less intimidating.
Why we go state by state
Court rules, deadlines, and the way everyday legal problems are handled are set by each state, so doing this responsibly means building each state carefully, one at a time, rather than publishing one-size-fits-all content that could mislead you.
We are bringing California online as part of our first wave of states. Joining the waitlist tells us where the demand is and makes sure you are the first to know when your guides are ready.
Helpful official resources in California right now
