Everything you need to know about using ReadyPro Se to complete your Maryland court forms
Learn the basics about our service
ReadyPro Se is a form completion service for people representing themselves in Maryland courts. We help you fill out court forms correctly by asking simple questions and placing your answers into forms using proper legal terminology that courts recognize. We do not provide legal advice or representation—we help with paperwork.
It's simple: (1) Choose your form type, (2) Answer our plain-language questionnaire (takes about 10-15 minutes), (3) Our team reviews your answers and fills out your forms with proper legal language, (4) Receive your completed forms via email and dashboard within 1 hour (typically).
No. ReadyPro Se is designed for self-represented litigants (pro se filers). However, we are not a substitute for legal advice. If your case is complicated, contested, or you're unsure about the legal process, consider consulting with an attorney. We only help with form completion, not legal strategy or representation.
We support both Maryland District Courts and Circuit Courts across all 24 jurisdictions (23 counties plus Baltimore City). Our forms are formatted to Maryland court standards and include jurisdiction-specific information where needed.
We offer forms for family law matters (divorce, custody, support, name changes, protective orders), civil matters (small claims, complaints, motions), landlord/tenant issues, expungements, appeals, and more. Visit our Services page for a complete list.
Questions about how we work and timing
Most questionnaires take 10-15 minutes to complete. More complex forms (like contested divorce or guardianship) may take 20-30 minutes. You can save your progress and come back later if needed.
We aim to deliver completed forms within 1 hour of receiving your questionnaire. During busy periods, it may take up to 24 hours. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your forms are ready, and they'll be available in your dashboard for download.
Our trained team members review your questionnaire answers and fill out your forms—not AI. Each answer choice in our questionnaire corresponds to pre-written legal language that Maryland courts recognize. Our team ensures accuracy and proper formatting before delivery.
After receiving your forms, you'll need to: (1) Review them for accuracy, (2) Sign where indicated, (3) Make copies for your records, (4) File the originals with the appropriate Maryland court, and (5) Pay applicable court filing fees. We include detailed filing instructions with every form package.
No. You must file your own forms with the court. ReadyPro Se provides form completion services only—we prepare the paperwork, but you handle the filing process. Most Maryland courts accept in-person filing, mail filing, and in some cases, electronic filing.
