After moving out, my landlord refused to return my $2,400 security deposit, claiming damages I didn't cause. I had photos, emails, and the move-in inspection report, but everything was scattered across my phone and email. CourtCase helped me organize everything chronologically. The timeline showed I had reported the existing damages on day one. The judge could see the full story at a glance. I won the full amount plus filing fees.

My employer stopped paying overtime after I complained about safety issues. I had been tracking my hours in a notebook and had some text messages, but I didn't know how to present it. CourtCase helped me build a timeline showing the pattern: I complained on March 5th, overtime stopped March 12th. The evidence was clear. The labor board ruled in my favor within 30 days.

I was being harassed by an ex-partner with constant texts, calls, and showing up at my work. I had hundreds of messages but didn't know how to organize them for court. CourtCase helped me create a timeline showing the escalating pattern. The judge could see it started after the breakup and got worse over time. The restraining order was granted immediately.

My landlord tried to evict me for complaining about a broken heater in winter. I had emails and photos but was panicking about the court date. CourtCase helped me organize my repair requests, the landlord's responses (or lack thereof), and photos of the broken heater. The timeline showed I had been asking for repairs for weeks before the eviction notice. The judge dismissed the case and ordered the repairs.
