What happens in the courtroom
Most NYC Civil Court small-claims hearings run 15–20 minutes. The judge will have your packet (Statement of Claim + exhibits). Sessions are typically held in the evenings (5:30–9 PM) at the courthouse. Be prepared to wait for your case to be called.
Order of events (typical)
  1. Court calls your case. You and the defendant come forward.
  2. Judge asks the plaintiff (you) to summarize the case briefly.
  3. Judge asks the defendant for their response.
  4. Judge asks clarifying questions of both sides.
  5. Judge may request to see specific exhibits.
  6. Judge announces decision then-and-there OR reserves decision for written ruling.
How to present your evidence
Bring 3 paper copies of every exhibit (one for the judge, one for the defendant, one for you). When the judge asks about an exhibit, hand it to the bailiff or court officer who will pass it up. Don't try to walk it to the bench yourself.

Lawyer Match Packet
A curated list of attorneys near you whose practice fits your case. Public ratings (Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, peer-review) appear with their original sources cited. Platform-derived match signals (case-type fit, fee-tier fit, language fit) are clearly labeled as match signals, not endorsements. We never invent ratings.
  • Geographically scoped to your jurisdiction (with optional radius)
  • Per attorney: name, firm, contact, bar-verified credentials, years in practice
  • Disciplinary history (clean or flagged · sourced from state bar)
  • Public ratings with source attribution next to each rating
  • Fee structure where the attorney publishes it
  • Languages spoken · office distance from you
  • Platform fit signals · case-type match, fee-tier match, language match
  • Watermarked + access-logged · so we know if a packet leaks
Public-directory matches. Not platform partners. Hello Court does not endorse any individual attorney.

Completes the empty-state experience: 0.64 locked the nav, this fills the middle with a calm getting-started screen instead of a seeded case home. Grounded in competitive-product-surfaces-research §5 (Home/Launchpad): "Lead with reassurance + a single focal action, not density" and "New-user empty state = the getting-started launchpad: warm copy, one bold CTA, a 5-item pre-progressed checklist (start ~20%): pick case type → tell us what happened → add evidence → see readiness → review options."

The 5-step preview is light/scannable, not a dashboard. Reuses the existing V3 design system (Btn, Card, Icon, periwinkle tokens, Fraunces headings) so it's on-brand in both dark + light.
