The free draft tells you where you stand. The packet is what you actually file — drafted to your facts and signed by a licensed MA attorney. Here's why tenants pay for it.
Miss the answer date or file the wrong thing and the court can enter judgment against you — putting you out in days and following you onto every future rental application. An attorney-reviewed answer is the line between a default and a real defense.
Breach of the warranty of habitability, security-deposit violations (c. 186 §15B), and retaliation (c. 186 §18) can offset — even exceed — what you allegedly owe. Raised wrong or raised late, they're waived for good.
Summary process moves in days, not months. You generally have until your answer date to raise every defense and counterclaim — or lose them. We draft it correctly the first time, so a tight clock doesn't cost you your case.
Private eviction-defense counsel often runs $1,500–$3,000+ and many tenants can't find one in time. Your full packet is reviewed and signed by a licensed MA attorney for $149.
This isn't a template pulled off the internet. A licensed Massachusetts attorney reviews your facts and signs the work — that's how it reads as a real defense in court, not a guess.
Most people lose at the first event because they don't know how mediation works or what the judge will ask. Your packet hands you the exact words for the Housing Specialist and the courtroom.
The free draft shows you the path. The packet is the court-ready filing — built to your case and signed by a licensed MA attorney. Here's why landlords pay for it.
A miscounted Notice to Quit, the wrong ground, or a missed Monday entry date gets your case dismissed — and the rent keeps not coming while you start over. Done right, you don't restart.
A tenant's habitability or security-deposit counterclaim can turn your case into a check you write them. Your packet is built to close those gaps — clean deposit handling, complete records — before they open.
Changing the locks, removing belongings, or shutting off utilities can flip you from plaintiff to defendant and expose you to triple damages plus fees. We keep every step on the legal path.
Full landlord-side counsel often runs $2,000+, and every month of delay is another month of lost rent. A licensed MA attorney reviews and signs your filing package for $149.
A clean, court-ready filing avoids the continuances, re-service, and dismissals that drag a case out for months. The fastest way out is the one that's right the first time.
Your packet prepares for the counterclaims and defenses tenants raise most — so you walk in with the exhibits and ledger already answering them, instead of getting blindsided.
The Answer drafted to your facts, plus counterclaims that can offset the rent — warranty of habitability, security deposit (c. 186 §15B), and retaliation (c. 186 §18) — with the statutory discovery requests.
The correct Notice to Quit for your ground, the Summons & Complaint roadmap, a Monday entry-date calendar, and the exhibit/ledger package built to defeat the usual defenses.
What to say at the first event and at trial — how the Housing Specialist mediation works, what the court asks, and how to put your strongest points on the record.
Your documents organized and pre-marked — leases, ledgers, photos, inspection reports, certified-mail receipts — three labeled copies, the way the court expects them.
Solo ($149) is the complete attorney-reviewed product — your filings, mediation and hearing scripts, exhibits, and three questions to the attorney from your dashboard. The Guided tier ($299) adds up to a 30-minute consult by phone or Zoom, where the attorney walks your case and evidence with you, plus priority review.
Yes — the instant draft costs nothing and requires no payment. It's AI-generated information to help you understand your options. You only pay if you want it turned into an attorney-reviewed packet.
No. We prepare you and a licensed MA attorney reviews your packet, but whether you win, lose, or settle is decided by the court based on your case. We can't and don't promise a result.
Never on the same matter. We work tenant or landlord on a given case, run a conflicts check, and decline if there's a conflict.
Start free, then pick the tier that fits. Both paid packets are reviewed and signed by a licensed MA attorney.
Start with Allie and run your conflict check — no account, no payment.
