Got Questions?

We're Here to Help 🦉

No question is a silly question. This is important stuff.

A character letter is a personal letter written by someone who knows the defendant — like a family member, friend, or employer — that tells the judge about who this person really is. It helps the judge see the defendant as a full human being, not just a court case. Judges often read these letters at sentencing to help decide on a fair outcome.

Absolutely not! That's exactly why we built this tool. You just pick answers from dropdowns and answer a couple of simple questions. We handle all the writing for you. The finished letter will be professionally formatted and ready to give to the attorney.

The letter should be written by someone who knows the defendant well — a parent, spouse, friend, employer, coach, or religious leader. It should NOT be written by the defendant themselves. The whole point is for someone else to vouch for them. Each person who knows the defendant can write their own letter using our tool.

Right after payment you'll see a download button appear on screen — your letter is ready immediately. We also send it to your email address. Important: please check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it in your inbox within 5 minutes. The email comes from support@mycourtletter.com.

This is NOT legal advice. We are a writing assistance tool, not a law firm. We help you put your genuine thoughts into a well-structured letter. You should always share the letter with the defendant's attorney before submitting it to the court. The attorney will decide if and how it gets used.

Defense attorneys often want multiple character letters from different people — each covering a different aspect of the defendant's character. One from a parent showing family life, one from an employer showing work ethic, one from a pastor showing community involvement. Three varied letters paint a much fuller picture than one. At $9.99 for three, it's great value.

Yes. Your answers are used only to generate your letter. We do not store, sell, or share your personal information. Payment is processed securely through Stripe — we never see your card details. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details.
