If you're representing yourself, BenchSlap PRO is free.
The U.S. legal system is unaffordable for most people who need it most. BenchSlap was built so that lack of money never becomes lack of access to verified law. Sign the affidavit below — at $0/month, forever.
Who qualifies
BenchSlap Pro Se Mode is for any person who is representing themselves in any state, federal, or administrative proceeding without counsel.
- Tenants and homeowners defending eviction or foreclosure
- Family-law litigants handling divorce, custody, child support, protective orders
- Debt defense against collectors, default judgments, garnishments
- Consumer law — small claims, warranty disputes, identity theft
- Civil rights claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, ADA, Title VII
- Anyone who cannot afford an attorney and must walk into court alone
What you get: the full BenchSlap PRO toolset — verified citation checking against 3.2M+ opinions, document drafting with sanctions-defense audit, judicial-conduct flagging, deadlines engine, and the Drafter that won’t hallucinate (everything passes through AEGIS verification).
What you pay: nothing. Forever, while you remain pro se. If you later retain counsel, your tier converts to the regular Free or attorney plans.
