## What is FreeLaw?

FreeLaw fills out the required forms for your California court case and prepares custom legal documents for California residents.

If you have an attorney, using FreeLaw to complete your forms can save you and your attorney time and money.

If you don’t have an attorney, FreeLaw gives you the guidance and confidence to handle the case yourself, from start to finish.

FreeLaw will determine which forms you need to fill out and will keep track of your progress.

The answers you give are saved in the app and input into your forms.

When you’re finished you can print, email, or text your forms directly from the app.

Our mission is to provide simple, affordable, self-help legal services.

Currently FreeLaw is only available in California.

Freelaw is in development for Texas, New York, and Florida. Eventually our goal is to release versions for every state.
