Guides and answers for the most common MyGavel questions.
Getting started
How do I create an account?
Click Sign in, then choose email/password or Sign in with Google. You'll be asked to verify your email before you can start an intake.
Where do I start my case?
Open Intake from the menu. Answer the plain-English questions about your case; your answers power every document you generate.
Does MyGavel work in my state?
MyGavel is designed for US self-represented filers. Some official-form replicas (for example California FL-100) are jurisdiction-specific; universal pleading and letter formats work anywhere.
Documents & drafts
How do I generate a document?
Complete intake, open a case, choose a document type, review the draft, and export to Word or PDF. For mandatory court PDFs, MyGavel produces a populated visual replica so you can copy your answers onto the official form.
Can I edit a draft before filing?
Yes. Every generated document is a draft you can edit, download, and revise. You are responsible for reviewing every document before filing — see our AI Disclaimer.
How do I upload court forms or evidence?
Open a case and use Case Files. Uploaded files are private to your account.
Billing
How do I subscribe?
Visit Pricing and choose monthly or yearly. Payment is handled by our processor; MyGavel never sees your full card number.
How do I cancel?
Open Account → Subscription and click Cancel. You keep access until the end of the current billing period.
Can I get a refund?
Contact billing@mygavel.net within 7 days of a charge and we'll review your request.
Troubleshooting
