The Situation Before Dino – Antiquated or Expensive
The Judiciary’s Form:
Legally, a small claims lawsuit begins with a form provided by the judiciary. This free, downloadable PDF form necessitates manual completion and attachment of supporting documents. Besides being outdated and aesthetically unappealing, its generalized fields often fail to adequately describe the case.
For example, the “Claim Description” section requires details of when “the obligation to pay the claimed sum arose, whether by agreement or otherwise.”
This is irrelevant to most small claims, such as spam, travel, or traffic accident claims.
The majority of fields present similar challenges, potentially leading to convoluted descriptions and misrepresentation of claims.
Furthermore, manually completing paper forms is outdated and inferior to digitally creating a structured document using a computer or mobile device.
Small Claims Lawyer
Using a lawyer is an alternative, but often uneconomical or unnecessary for simple, low-value claims, particularly when the claimant understands their case.
However, for complex cases or high claim values, consultation with a lawyer is recommended. Nonetheless, this option is expensive relative to the average small claims value.
There’s no guarantee that legal fees will be recovered as “legal costs.” Therefore, many forego their rights due to cost concerns and lack of suitable alternatives. Note that representation by a lawyer in small claims court is prohibited unless special permission is granted (approximately 1% of cases).
Additional Options
Some websites offer either: 1. Online preparation of the court form; or 2. Case description for lawyer-prepared claims.
The first option doesn’t address the inherent shortcomings of the court form. The second, while appearing different, is essentially the same – professional preparation incurs a cost, potentially lower than direct lawyer engagement, but still non-trivial.
Dino Will File For You – Accessible Technology at a Fair Price
Dino offers an intelligent automated system to generate small claims from any device quickly. After registering, users select from 16 categories (rentals, travel, automotive, consumer rights, spam, technician delays, etc.).
A dynamic questionnaire guides the user, tailored to their responses. All questionnaires were designed by lawyers, with explanatory information provided. Files can be uploaded and organized within a table of contents.
The questionnaire can be saved as a draft at any time. Multiple claims can be created concurrently.
Upon completion, a single downloadable, editable (WORD format) file contains: 1. A completed court form; 2. A small claims statement; 3. An organized appendix with all uploaded documents. Further information is available on the homepage or under the tab “How it Works“.
Besides streamlining the process, the system is affordably priced at ILS 299 (VAT included).
Users can submit the claim online themselves via the court’s website “Net Mishpat”. Alternatively, a low-cost legal courier service, including court fees, is available. (We’ve prepared a cost calculator).
