ProPera Legal ®
First Legal Platform For The People
CLASS ACTION REGISTRY

A public record of what the family courts did.

Judges, custody evaluators, minor's counsel, mediators and the professionals around them are rarely answerable to the families they decide for. This registry counts every complaint, names the role and the court, and gathers the people ready to act together. Nothing here is legal advice, and ProPera Legal is not a law firm.
THE REGISTRY SO FAR

Every complaint is one more family counted.

A single complaint is easy to dismiss. A hundred about the same courthouse are a pattern, and a pattern is what a class action is built on. The totals below come from the registry itself and update as complaints are filed.

HOW IT WORKS

Ten minutes to put it on the record.

01
File a complaint
Name the person, their role, the court, and what they did. It takes ten minutes. Your account of what happened is kept with your complaint and shown only to you and to the people reviewing it.
02
It joins the registry
The public registry lists the named party by initials, their role, the court and the county. Your name, your contact details and your case number are never published. Every complaint is read by a person.
03
You are counted for the class action
If you choose to join, complaints about the same courts and the same people are grouped together, and counsel may contact you about yours. Joining registers your interest. It is not itself a lawsuit and it commits you to nothing.
Who can file
A parent or party in a family, custody, dependency or probate case
A grandparent, relative or guardian affected by a ruling
A witness to the conduct, including court staff and professionals
A member of the public who observed a public hearing

QUESTIONS

What filing does, and does not, do.

Is filing a complaint the same as joining a lawsuit?

No. A complaint is a record ProPera Legal keeps. When you file one you can ask to be counted as a potential class member, which means complaints about the same courts and the same people are grouped together and counsel may contact you about yours. That registers your interest. It does not file anything with a court and it does not make you a party to any case.

What appears in the public registry?

The named party by initials, their role, the court or organization, the county and state, the date of the incident, the kinds of harm you reported, whether you joined the class action, and the review status. Your name, your contact details, your case number and your account of what happened never appear.

Who reads my complaint?

A person at ProPera Legal reads every complaint. If something is missing we will write to you. If you joined the class action, counsel working on complaints about the same court may read it and contact you. It is not shared with the person you named, the court, or anyone else.

Will I get a confirmation?

Yes. The moment your complaint is on file you get an email at your account address repeating what you filed, with a link to your complaint and an explanation of what happens next. You can edit or delete your complaint from your account at any time.

Can I file about a judge?

Yes. Judges, commissioners, custody evaluators, mediators, minor’s counsel, guardians ad litem, parenting coordinators, court-appointed therapists, attorneys on either side, clerks, social workers and supervised visitation monitors are all roles the registry groups by. If the role you need is missing, choose Other and describe it.

Does filing here replace a complaint to the court or a licensing board?

No. A complaint here files nothing with a court, a judicial council, a bar association or a licensing board, and it does not stop any deadline in your own case. If you also want to file with one of those bodies, do that separately. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and ProPera Legal is not a law firm.

What if I named the wrong person or want to withdraw?

Open the complaint from your account. You can correct any field, change whether you are counted for the class action, or delete the complaint entirely. Deleting removes it from the registry.
ADD YOURS

You are not the only one. Be counted.

Filing takes ten minutes. You get a confirmation by email, you can edit or withdraw at any time, and your name is never published.
ProPera Legal is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. A complaint here files nothing with a court, a judicial council, a bar association or a licensing board, and does not stop a deadline in your own case. Statements in the registry are the complainant's own account and have not been adjudicated.
