Why ClaimKit Help
Built by a Californian who has been through small claims. Not a law firm. Not a chatbot. Clear, kind, no-jargon instructions for the person filing.
Not sure if Starter is right?
Starter covers pre-court only. If you've decided to file, you'll want Core ($99). If you also want post-judgment collection guides, see Complete ($179).
ClaimKit Help is an educational guide, not legal advice. We are not a law firm, and using these documents does not create an attorney-client relationship.

My landlord stopped responding after I moved out. No text back, nothing, just silence. I didn’t know if I just had to take the loss or what. I bought the starter package just to see what my options were and within the first hour I understood exactly where I stood. The demand letter template was ready to go. It told me what to say and how to say it without sounding desperate or aggressive. I sent it the same day. I don’t know how this ends yet, but I feel like he’s taking me seriously. Just the peace of mind this gave me, is totally worth it!! I will buy the next package if this goes any further.
Super helpful and easy to follow. These PDF’s are organized, straightforward, and truly a must have if you’re dealing with a case. I especially liked the scripts and checklists, they made everything feel way less overwhelming, I feel much more prepared going into court. Definitely worth it I’m so thankful I found this!
I’m not a legal expert by any means, but this broke everything down in a way that actually made sense and felt manageable. The templates saved me hours of time and eliminated so much guesswork. If you’re on the fence, just get it—you won’t regret it.
I walked into court prepared and won! This did exactly what it said it would.
We love hearing this! Walking into court feeling prepared makes all the difference, and you clearly put in the work. Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing your experience!
