Justice, Made Accessible
Automated discovery for public defenders: the first step toward a fully modern criminal-defense workspace.
Our Vision
A future where every public defender has the resources of a top-tier law firm
We envision criminal defense offices equipped with intelligent technology that levels the playing field. Where case preparation is streamlined, discovery review is comprehensive, and defenders have the time and clarity to do their best work on every case.
Equity Through Technology
Every defender deserves the same advanced tools and resources that well-funded firms take for granted.
Justice, Not Just Efficiency
Technology that doesn't just speed up processes, but ensures thorough preparation and strengthens every defense strategy.
Built with Real Defenders
Solutions designed with public defenders, addressing real workflow challenges while respecting the expertise and judgment that only humans can provide.
"Technology should amplify the Sixth Amendment's promise for effective counsel, not replace it."
Foundational Features
Three core capabilities that transform how you handle discovery today.
Automated Collection
Files auto-ingest from DA portals, email, and drives.
AI Review Guide
Transcripts, key-moment links, and cross-file search.
Gap Detection
Flags missing or inconsistent discovery materials.
Why Public Defenders?
Greatest Need, Greatest Impact
Public defender caseloads run 3-5x ABA guidelines. Every automated hour becomes an hour for stronger advocacy: meeting clients, challenging evidence, and crafting a better defense.
Discovery Avalanche
Body-cams, jail calls, CSI reports: defenders face the heaviest evidence load with the leanest staffing. Automation delivers immediate relief for the whole office.
Mandated but Under-Funded
Hurrell-Harring and similar cases mandate thorough preparation, yet budgets lag. We pair technology with grant guidance to close that gap.
Collaborative Culture
Statewide defender networks are built on knowledge-sharing. Co-designing with them ensures the product fits real-world workflows from day one.
Security Is Non-Negotiable
Client liberty is on the line. That's why CJIS compliance, end-to-end encryption, and role-based access are baked in from the start.
Funding & Procurement Help
Grant & Budget Support
We help defender offices identify grant opportunities and write compelling grant applications.
