small-claims-prep
Prepare a small-claims case end to end — the demand letter that often settles it first, the evidence pack, what to file, and a plain-English walkthrough of the hearing. Use when asked to take someone to small claims, sue in small claims court, prepare a small claims case, or someone owes me money and won't pay. Produces a final demand letter, the claim summary with amount and legal-ish basis, the organized evidence pack, a filing checklist, and a calm hearing script — flagging jurisdiction limits to verify. Not legal advice.
