Dear Loyal Clients, Valued Partners, Attorneys and Law Firms:

My name is Michael Sherman. As many of you may already be aware, I am also the founder and CEO of FiledTonight, which in a twist of irony, led to the formation of Filed Tonight.

I founded Filed Tonight following a deeply personal and challenging experience with the family court system. While the details are painful, I believe that sharing my story can illuminate the driving force behind our platform and underscore our unwavering commitment to helping others navigate similar situations.

My journey began on what seemed like an ordinary day. However, by evening, my life had been irrevocably altered. The mother of my son, after years of a seemingly stable relationship, abruptly left, taking our son, her daughter, and various possessions. It was later revealed that she had a history of such actions, having similarly disappeared with her daughter from a previous relationship, leaving the father with no contact for years.

In my case, she sought sole custody of our son by making false allegations of domestic violence. These claims led to a series of legal challenges, including orders of protection and the traumatic experience of having my son placed in a domestic violence shelter, surrounded by individuals who had genuinely suffered from such abuse. The impact on my son, including being uprooted from his school and placed in an environment where bullying was rampant, was devastating.

The legal system, initially, seemed ill-equipped to handle such a situation. The police, without existing court orders, were unable to intervene. Navigating the complexities of family law felt overwhelming and isolating.

This experience ignited a passion within me to create a resource for others facing similar injustices. Filed Tonight is the culmination of that passion. We are dedicated to providing accessible, affordable, and user-friendly legal document preparation services that empower individuals to understand and engage with the legal system effectively.

I understand the fear, frustration, and sense of powerlessness that can accompany such circumstances. My commitment is to ensure that no one feels alone in navigating these challenges. Filed Tonight is here to provide support, resources, and the tools necessary to protect your rights and your family.

We are more than just a document preparation service; we are a community of support and advocacy for those seeking justice and fairness within the family court system.
