We Know What You're Dealing With

You got served papers. Now what?

The petition looks confusing. The deadlines are tight. You need to answer โ€” but how?

Lawyers cost thousands. You don't have that.

Legal Aid is overloaded. Private attorneys want $3,000+ retainers. You're stuck in the middle.

The forms are intimidating.

One wrong box checked, one missed defense, and you could lose your home.

Start Your Order Now Ask a Question

Questions?

Are you lawyers?

No. We're a document drafting service. We don't give legal advice or represent you in court. We prepare professional documents based on the information you provide.

How fast do I get my documents?

Standard turnaround is 48 hours. If you have a court date sooner, let us know โ€” we'll do our best to rush it.

What if I can't afford this?

Check if you qualify for a free lawyer through NYC's Right to Counsel program. If you don't qualify and still need help, contact us โ€” we may be able to work something out.

Do I still need to go to court?

Yes. We draft the paperwork โ€” you still need to file it and appear in court. We can't represent you, but you'll be prepared.

What's Good Cause Eviction?
