Recourse · self-serve
Fills forms. Never advises.
The self-serve tool prepares the court forms you tell it to — ministerially. It will not tell you which defense applies or whether you have a case. When you need that, it sends you here.
Not yet operating. Recourse Access is pending California counsel review, and no supervising attorney is currently seated. Everything below is a demonstration on synthetic facts — it is not legal advice and cannot be filed.
CALIFORNIA · TENANT DEFENSE · SUPERVISED BY AN ATTORNEY
Recourse Access is a nonprofit desk that — under a live California supervising attorney — reviews your situation, identifies the defenses that may apply, and prepares your Answer (UD-105) to file in time. This is the surface that is allowed to map your facts to legal defenses, because a lawyer stands behind every answer.

Recourse Access · this desk
Under attorney supervision, this desk may identify the defenses that fit your facts and raise them on your Answer — the step a self-serve tool legally cannot take on its own.
