Pinellas Small Claims Paralegal Guidance
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I am preparing a pro se small-claims action in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Pinellas County (Clearwater, FL) and need a trained, certified paralegal to walk me through every procedural step in real time.
The guidance I’m looking for centres on three areas: court procedure, document preparation (including the Statement of Claim, service packets, and any Subpoena Duces Tecum), and effective witness examination strategy once we are in front of the judge. Because this is a live filing—not theory—I need someone who has actually worked in the Pinellas small-claims courtroom and who has supported self-represented litigants before.
What you will help me do
• Confirm the exact sequence of filings, deadlines, and fees specific to the Clearwater courthouse
• Check each form for technical sufficiency and compliance with local rules before I file
• Advise on proper service of process and proof-of-service requirements
• Draft or polish my subpoena requests and any related witness notices
• Coach me on direct and cross-examination technique suitable for small-claims rules of evidence
Logistics
Ideally you can meet in person or via video from the 33756-zip code. Screen-sharing for document review is fine, but I do not want AI-generated content; everything must be your own work product.
To be considered, please briefly outline your past work in Pinellas County small-claims court and your experience assisting other pro se litigants. Attach or link to examples that show your familiarity with local procedure.
I’m ready to start immediately and will schedule sessions around the court’s timeline once I find the right fit.
