COURTROOM5- NC BEC Growth Grants Fall 2021

 

Published February 9, 2022

Today, we introduce Sonja Ebron, founder of  Courtroom5 in Durham, NC. Courtroom5 offers automated litigation support for people in court without a lawyer.

Q: Sonja, what problem are you trying to solve and what influenced you to start your company?

A: I was a college professor with a great middle-class income, but I couldn’t afford a lawyer when I was sued. Once I figured out how to represent myself, I wanted to help others do the same.

Q: How will your NC IDEA grant funds advance your company?

A: We’re excited to explore opportunities to work with small and solo law firms in serving our customers. The BEC grant will help us reach and onboard them in more streamlined fashion.

While visiting Durham, Sonja recommends:

    • Having shrimp & grits and amazing coffee at Beyu Caffe

 

To support Sonja and Courtroom5:

  • All of us have a friend or loved one handling a civil case. Send them to Courtroom5.
