How it works

Four steps to a prepared refund or consumer dispute

Step 1

Describe the purchase

What you paid for, what went wrong, and what the seller said when you asked for a refund.

Step 2

Add your proof

Receipt, order confirmation, warranty, photos/videos of the defect, support messages.

Step 3

Watch the simulation

An AI judge, AI lawyers, and AI jurors argue your refund or defective-product claim end to end.

Step 4

Read the prep report

Strengths, weak spots, evidence gaps, and the questions to ask a real lawyer.

Benefits

Why preparation matters for refund disputes

Hear the company's defense first

AI counsel for the seller argues back — "you used it", "past the return window", "no proof of defect" — so nothing surprises you.

Pin down the defect timeline

When you bought it, when it failed, when you asked for a refund — date-ordered with the documents attached.

Find the missing receipt

The simulation surfaces the proof you still need before you file.

Know your venue

Most refund and defective-product disputes are small-claims sized. You'll arrive organised.

FAQ

Refund & consumer disputes, answered

Can I take a refused refund to small claims?
Often yes — refund and defective-product disputes are common small-claims matters when the amount is within your state's limit. CourtRoom AI is not legal advice; confirm the limit and venue with the court itself.
What evidence helps a defective-product claim?
Proof of purchase, the product listing or warranty, dated photos or video of the defect, and your written request for a refund or repair. Documented beats remembered every time — the simulation tells you which pieces carry weight.
Do I need a lawyer for a consumer dispute?
Most small-claims venues let you appear without one. CourtRoom AI is built for the self-represented path: preparation strong enough to show up alone, or to arrive at a paid consultation already organised.
Will it tell me if I'll win?
No. The simulation is educational and pressure-tests your facts. Real outcomes depend on the judge, the seller's response, evidence rules, and details an AI cannot fully replicate.

“Why not just use a chatbot?”

Fair question. Here’s what a general AI chat can’t do for a real dispute:

✓ Opposing counsel argues against you
A full multi-agent hearing pressure-tests your case from the other side. A general chatbot mostly agrees with you.
✓ Real citations, never invented
References real court opinions (via CourtListener) and your state's statutes. General chatbots are known to hallucinate case law.
✓ Built on your actual evidence
You upload your real documents and it reasons over them — not a generic, one-off answer.
✓ A case workspace that remembers
Report, evidence, timeline, and a case-aware assistant stay in one place — not a chat you lose.

CourtRoom AI is preparation and education only — not legal advice, and not a substitute for a licensed attorney.
