Two quick questions — pick who you are and what you're filing, and the exact fees add themselves up.

Step One of Three

Are you an infrequent or frequent claimant?

Three fees change with your answer — the claim, default judgment, and trial-date fees. Everything else is flat.

Infrequent claimant most people Fewer than 10 claims filed this calendar year in the same court office — every first-time and occasional litigant. Frequent claimant ? 10 or more claims already filed this calendar year in the same court office — collection agencies, large landlords, businesses that sue often.

"Frequent" means 10 or more claims already filed in the same calendar year in the same court office. If you're not sure, you're almost certainly infrequent — but the result flags how the fees change if you're not.

What are you filing?

Select every step you want to price — fees charge per document, so a whole case is the sum of its steps.
