Recourse

Court-ready eviction paperwork, without the lawyer's bill. That is the whole promise, and the discipline is in what it refuses to add to it.

Recourse serves three kinds of people the process treats as if they had law firms: the tenant with a notice and a court date, the master tenant whose roommate stopped paying, and the mom-and-pop landlord with two units and rules written for corporations. For each, it prepares the exact California forms the case needs, checks them line by line, watches the deadlines, and explains the filing in plain language, in English or Spanish. A deposit kept past its twenty-one days becomes a small-claims packet. A subsidized tenancy gets routed to assisted handling, because those have extra moving parts.

And there is a line it will not cross, drawn in its own words: it fills forms, it never advises. It will not tell you which defense to raise or whether you have a case. When your situation needs that kind of judgment, it sends you next door to Access, where an attorney stands behind the answer.

Today it runs as a live demonstration: the real engine, on fabricated cases, every generated form watermarked. The public doors open when California counsel has reviewed the methodology. The shop finds the watermark as honest as the tool.
