Hello Court is coming to Ohio.

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 Ohio 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.
