How we research and review our guides

Primary sources only

Every state guide, limit and filing fee is checked against the state court’s own forms, fee schedules and statutes — not against other legal marketing sites. Where a figure varies by county, we say so.

Regular review

State guides carry a last-reviewed date. When a legislature changes a dollar limit or fee schedule, we update the guide and the date, and the article that explained the old rule is retired or rewritten.

Written by people who file

CourtLinked has been preparing and filing documents nationwide since 2004. Our editorial team is made up of document specialists and paralegals who work on live filings every week.

One page per question

When two articles answer the same question, we merge them into one definitive guide and redirect the older URL, so you are never reading an outdated version.
