Start Wizard →How These Small Claims Wizards Work
Each wizard asks a short series of plain-language questions about your situation — how much is owed, what evidence you have, what stage your dispute has reached — and produces a practical assessment: whether suing is worth it, how to respond to a claim against you, whether a settlement offer is reasonable, and what your next step should be. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere; the wizards run entirely in your browser and are free to use as many times as you need.
They are built on the real rules of the Ontario Small Claims Court — the $50,000 limit, the 20-day defence deadline, the two-year limitation period, and the costs consequences of Rule 14 offers — and they pair naturally with our small claims calculators for the number-crunching side: claim value, interest, filing fees, and enforcement.
A wizard is a starting point, not legal advice. Every dispute has facts that a questionnaire cannot capture, and the difference between a strong claim and a wasted filing fee often lives in those details. When the wizard\u2019s result leaves you unsure, our Toronto small claims lawyers offer a free consultation to look at your actual documents \u2014 call 416-274-2222.
