Civil Litigation Document Preparation
We format and prepare civil filings on the correct pleading paper for your court — caption, line numbering, certificate of service, and local cover sheets included.
Understand this service before you buy
In a civil case the deadline is the case. A response is due on a fixed number of days from service, and a missed deadline turns into a default judgment that costs far more to undo than to answer. We prepare the responsive documents on your county's pleading paper so you can file on time.
- Answer deadlines run from the date of service, not the date you read the papers.
- Every court has its own pleading-paper, caption and exhibit rules.
- A default judgment can be attacked, but only on specific grounds and inside a window.
- We draft from your facts; we do not advise you on strategy or outcome.
Trial court documents
- Complaints, answers and affirmative defenses
- Motions, memoranda and proposed orders
- Declarations under penalty of perjury (28 U.S.C. § 1746 where federal)
- Discovery: interrogatories, requests for production and admissions, and responses
- Unlawful detainer and eviction packets
- Exhibit indexes and evidence binders
Appellate documents
- Notices of appeal and civil case information statements
- Petitions for review and briefs formatted to court rules
- Appendices and record excerpts with pagination
Rules research
Before drafting, we confirm the governing state rule, local rule and standing order for your division — margin, font, caption and page-limit requirements included — so the clerk does not reject the filing on format.
What you receive
