The tools
Public Records Request Letter Generator
FreeGenerate a legally-formatted public records request in 90 seconds.
For: Citizens, journalists, pro se litigants, and anyone trying to force accountability out of a public body.
Rights Violation Screener
FreeTell us what happened. We'll tell you what rights may be at issue — and what to do next.
For: Anyone who suspects an officer, agency, employer, or official crossed a line — and wants a structured read before they call an attorney.
Small Claims Demand Letter + Filing Kit
FreeBefore you file in small claims, send the demand letter that often ends it first.
For: Anyone owed money under the small-claims jurisdictional cap ($2,500-$15,000 depending on state) who's ready to stop waiting.
Why these tools exist
Nobody should be priced out of baseline accountability work.
Templates that charge $49 to generate a single public records letter are gatekeeping tools that cost us nothing to produce. We charge enough to keep the lights on — and no more.
The serious work — case reviews, evidence organization, and full investigative workups — is priced fairly and lives on the Services page. These tools are the front door.
