Important: What We Are Not
Our Mission
Legal information shouldn't be locked behind expensive consultations. Our mission is simple: give every American access to the same quality of letter that a lawyer might draft, completely free, in under two minutes.
We built this tool because jury summons paperwork can be intimidating, and many people don't know they have the right to formally request an excuse. Every state in the US has statutory provisions allowing citizens to request excuses based on genuine hardship — we just help you exercise that right properly.
Accuracy & Legal Research
Our state-specific legal citations are drawn from publicly available state statutes and court rules. We reference official sources including US Courts jury service guidelines and individual state court websites. That said, laws change — always verify current requirements with your specific court before submitting.
