What do you need help with?

PacketKit helps you fill out official California court forms, and some federal ones, yourself. You type your details once and they fill every form you open. You can check the forms for blank fields and private information, download the filled PDFs, and keep your case papers and dates in one place.

It doesn't give legal advice, decide which forms, claims or defenses are right for you, file papers with the court, or serve them. It isn't a law firm or a Legal Document Assistant. For advice about your situation, talk to a lawyer, your court's self-help center or a legal aid organization.

In your own browser, on this device. What you type isn't sent to PacketKit. Use Save backup on My cases to keep a copy or move to another device, and Erase all data to remove everything.

You do. PacketKit prepares the papers; it doesn't file or serve them. File them at the clerk's window, or by mail or through an approved e-filing service if your court offers those (your court's website says which). When the clerk accepts your papers, you get back copies stamped by the court, or a stamped PDF if you e-file. Keep them: they're your proof of filing. You can save them with your case in PacketKit's filing tracker.

California state courts, with the Judicial Council forms used in every superior court, and federal court forms for people representing themselves. You can add a local court form as a PDF. PacketKit doesn't cover other states' court forms or immigration forms.
