Whether you're a tenant being evicted or a landlord filing, you get a complete summary-process packet built for your case — the timeline, the deadlines you can't miss, the answer or notice done right, your exhibits, and a hearing script. Reviewed and signed by a licensed MA attorney — real legal advice, not a guess.
Free to start · no payment required to begin intake
Massachusetts summary process only (c. 239) · Every paid packet reviewed by a licensed MA attorney
Eviction in Massachusetts is "summary process." The same court hears both sides — but a tenant's defense and a landlord's filing are completely different jobs. Start where you stand.
You got a Notice to Quit or a Summons & Complaint. The most-missed deadline is your Answer & discovery — due 3 days before your first court date. We build your answer, your counterclaims, your discovery, and a habitability/deposit checklist that can reduce or wipe out what you owe.
A defective notice or a wrong entry date gets your case dismissed — and you start over, losing weeks of rent. We build a correct Notice to Quit for your ground, the Summons & Complaint roadmap, your entry-date calendar, and an exhibit/ledger package that holds up.
The judge or housing specialist sees the case in minutes. Whoever walks in with the right deadline met, the right paperwork, and clean exhibits has an enormous edge — and most people on both sides don't.
Tenants must file the Answer and discovery 3 days before the first court event. Landlords must enter on a Monday, 7–30 days after service. Miss it and you lose ground you can't easily get back.
See the full timeline →A defective Notice to Quit dismisses a landlord's case. A timely habitability or security-deposit counterclaim can erase a tenant's back rent. The documents do the work.
See what's in the packet →No lockouts, no shutting off utilities (c. 186 §14). Only a sheriff or constable with a court execution can remove a tenant — and not until 48 hours' notice. Doing it the right way is the only way that holds.
Start your packet →You get a finished draft for free. Paying turns it into an attorney-reviewed packet — actual legal advice, prepared for your case.
Tenant or landlord, your ground, your dates, and where it's filed — a one-minute intake.
Where you stand: your exact deadline, your Housing Court division, and what to expect at the first event.
Buy a packet and a licensed MA attorney reviews, corrects, and signs every page — usually within 24–48 hours (weekdays).
You arrive with the right filings, a mediation/hearing script, and pre-marked exhibits.
The free draft is information, not legal advice. Once an attorney reviews it, your packet is legal advice for your case.
See exactly where you stand before you spend a cent — your deadline, your exposure, and whether the paperwork holds up.
Back rent and fees owed, offset by habitability abatement and security-deposit treble damages — the net number that should drive your decision.
Run the exposure check → LandlordEstimate days from Notice to Quit to judgment to execution for your ground and court — plus the rent you lose if a defect forces a restart.
Run the timeline → Strong defenseA defective Notice to Quit is one of the strongest defenses there is. Check whether yours was counted, dated, and served correctly.

Patrick has been a licensed Massachusetts attorney for over 20 years, working both sides of summary process in the Housing Courts. He designed the logic the AI runs on, and he personally reviews and signs every paid packet — so what you get isn't a template, it's legal advice grounded in how these cases really go.
Both — but never the two sides of the same case. You pick your side at intake and get a packet built for that role. If we've already worked with the opposing party on your matter, we'll decline and tell you, to avoid a conflict.
Both, depending on the step. The free draft is AI-generated information — not legal advice. The moment you buy a packet, a licensed Massachusetts attorney reviews and signs it for your case, and at that point it is legal advice, under a limited-scope engagement.
Yes. The AI does the drafting, but no paid packet goes out until Patrick Donovan, Esq. has reviewed, corrected, and signed it — usually within 24–48 hours (weekdays).
For tenants, the Answer and discovery are due 3 days before the first court event — and filing discovery on time also postpones trial about two weeks. For landlords, the complaint must be entered on a Monday, 7–30 days after the Summons & Complaint is served. Ask Allie to pin down your exact dates.
