AI.Law FAQs — Questions Litigation Attorneys Ask
Getting Started
Questions about trying AI.Law, pricing, firm fit, and whether the platform is built specifically for litigators.
Do I need a credit card to try AI.Law?
No. You can create a free account with no credit card required. 11 tools are free forever — including Lead CRM, calendar, billing, document management, conflict checks, and client intake. Paid AI seats include a free trial so you can evaluate the platform on a real case before committing.
How is AI.Law different from just using ChatGPT or Claude for my cases?
AI.Law connects 10 AI models directly to your uploaded case files - so when you ask a question, the AI answers from your actual documents with clickable citations to the source page. Generic chatbots do not know your case, cannot cite your records, and are not designed for litigation workflows. AI.Law also includes 60+ litigation-specific tools like complaints, discovery drafting, motions, and deposition analysis that all draw from the same uploaded case file.
How much does AI.Law cost?
Practice management is free forever. When you want AI, choose one plan for the whole firm — every paid seat is on that plan: Core at $149/mo for 1 seat (+$149 per additional seat), Litigator at $299/mo with 2 seats included (+$139 per additional seat), or Advanced at $699/mo with 5 seats included (+$99 per additional seat). Everyone else joins free — a 6-person firm with 4 Litigator seats and 2 free users pays $577/mo. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Is AI.Law built for litigation specifically, or is it a general legal tool?
AI.Law is built exclusively for litigation. The platform was designed by a top-rated litigation attorney whose firm has litigated over 2,200 matters. Every tool - from discovery drafting to deposition analysis to motion drafting - is built around litigation workflows, civil procedure rules, and the Federal Rules of Evidence. It is not a general-purpose legal tool adapted for litigation; it was purpose-built for litigators from day one.
Can my whole firm use AI.Law, or is it per-attorney?
AI.Law supports entire firms. Everyone can use Free Forever practice management at $0. Add paid AI seats only for the people who need them — your firm picks one plan (Core, Litigator, or Advanced) and every paid seat is on it. All users share the firm's document library, matter data, and cross-matter intelligence. Larger teams can add Firmwide Intel or contact us for custom seat counts and dedicated support.
Is there an Enterprise offering for larger firms?
Yes. Firms signing up 10 or more people can buy Enterprise: our Advanced plan for a full year at the price of 11 months, plus a setup package that covers customization, moving your files in, and live team training. You also get a direct support phone number, a named contact, a savings review every quarter, and a 15% bonus whenever you add AI capacity. We bill by Stripe invoice with your PO number and net terms.
What types of cases does AI.Law support?
AI.Law supports all civil litigation - personal injury, medical malpractice, employment, contract disputes, premises liability, product liability, insurance coverage, workers' compensation, and more. The platform is case-type agnostic; it reads whatever documents you upload and adapts its tools to the claims and facts in your specific matter.
Does AI.Law work for plaintiff firms and defense firms of any size?
Yes. AI.Law is built for civil litigators on both sides of a case. The platform can analyze pleadings, discovery, depositions, medical records, contracts, and motion practice from either posture, and the same matter data powers drafting, research, document intelligence, and strategy tools across solo, mid-size, and larger firms.
Can I try AI.Law on a real case before paying?
Yes. Paid AI seats include a free trial so you can upload documents and try drafting, discovery, legal research, and the AI Associate on a real matter before you commit. Free Forever tools like CRM, calendar, billing, document management, conflict checks, and intake never expire and never require a credit card.
Document Management & Uploads
Questions about large files, firm-wide search, OCR, classification, and getting case data into the platform without manual entry.
Can I upload a 2,000-page PDF of medical records and have AI process the whole thing?
Yes. Upload any size file and AI.Law converts every page to searchable text, identifies document types like operative reports, discharge summaries, PT notes, radiology, and lien letters, extracts providers and dates of service, and makes the entire file available to every AI tool on the platform. No manual indexing, no separate OCR software, and no page limits.
How do I search across all my matters for a prior expert or settlement?
Use Workdrive - it searches across every matter in your firm. Type an expert's name, a medical condition, a carrier, or a settlement range and get results from all your cases. It is like having a firm-wide institutional memory that finds the prior case where you used the same orthopedic surgeon or fought the same coverage exclusion.
Does AI.Law extract medical billing data like providers, CPT codes, and lien amounts?
Yes. Upload medical records and billing statements and AI.Law extracts every provider, date of service, CPT code, billed amount, insurance payment, contractual adjustment, and patient responsibility. It also identifies active liens by type - Medicare conditional payments, Medicaid, ERISA subrogation, workers' comp, hospital liens, and VA liens - with the applicable recovery right and statute for each.
Can AI.Law classify and organize documents automatically when I upload them?
Yes. At upload, AI identifies document types like operative reports, discharge summaries, radiology, PT notes, billing statements, lien letters, IME reports, police crash reports, and correspondence, then extracts provider names and dates of service and indexes each section separately. A 400-page PDF of mixed medical records becomes individually searchable documents without manual renaming or indexing.
How do I get my case data into AI.Law - do I need to manually enter everything?
Just upload your files. AI.Law processes PDFs, Word documents, images, audio, and video. It OCRs scanned documents, extracts text from every page, and makes the content available to all 60+ tools. Your client's facts come in through AI-delivered intake, so there is no manual data entry required to build out case intelligence.
Can I upload thousands of files or a full zipped case archive at once?
Yes. AI.Law supports bulk uploads, ZIP archives, and very large document sets. Uploaded files are extracted, converted, indexed, and routed into the platform so the full matter can be searched, analyzed, and used across drafting and AI tools without requiring manual one-file-at-a-time processing.
Drafting
Questions about discovery, motions, complaints, replies, contracts, and export-ready formatting.
Can AI.Law draft Rule 33 interrogatories and Rule 34 requests for production tailored to my specific case?
Yes. Select your matter and choose the discovery type - interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, or responses to incoming discovery. AI reads your uploaded complaint, medical records, and case documents to generate discovery targeting the actual evidence you need, not recycled templates. Responses include specific objections with Rule 26(b)(1) proportionality grounds, privilege bases, and substantive answers grounded in the facts of the matter.
Can AI.Law draft a motion for summary judgment with a statement of undisputed facts?
Yes. AI reads uploaded deposition transcripts and discovery responses to build a statement of undisputed material facts with exhibit citations, then drafts the supporting memorandum of law with the applicable standard of review and case authorities. It also handles Rule 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss, Rule 37 motions to compel, motions in limine, Daubert motions, and more.
Does AI.Law draft complaints that comply with Iqbal/Twombly pleading standards?
Yes. The Lawsuit Drafter generates complaints with verified elements for each cause of action, Rule 9(b) particularity for fraud claims, jurisdiction-specific statutory references, and factual allegations tied to uploaded case documents. You select the claims and AI builds the factual allegations from the intake narrative and case file.
Can AI.Law draft opposition briefs and reply memoranda?
Yes. Upload the opposing motion and memorandum. AI reads every argument and cited authority, then drafts a complete opposition brief with counter-authorities, case law distinctions, factual rebuttals from your case documents, and procedural counterarguments point by point. Reply memoranda are designed to address new arguments raised in the opposition without simply repeating the original motion.
Can AI.Law analyze an incoming complaint, answer, or motion from either side of a case?
Yes. AI.Law can evaluate pleadings and motion papers regardless of which side filed them. Upload a complaint, answer, motion, or opposition and the platform can identify legal theories, defenses, vulnerabilities, missing allegations, cited authorities, and drafting opportunities based on the actual filing and the surrounding case documents.
Does AI.Law handle discovery responses with proper objections, or just boilerplate?
It drafts case-specific objections, not boilerplate. AI reads the actual discovery request, analyzes it against the claims and defenses in the matter, and drafts responses with objections that state specific grounds like overbreadth, undue burden, proportionality under Rule 26(b)(1), and privilege, with factual support for each. Substantive answers incorporate matter-specific facts from intake and case documents.
Can AI.Law draft contracts, or is it only for litigation documents?
AI.Law also drafts contracts. Describe the deal terms, parties, and key provisions, and AI generates a complete contract with recitals, defined terms, operative provisions, representations and warranties, indemnification, termination, and governing law tailored to the transaction. It also drafts settlement correspondence replies, page-formatted documents, and custom reports.
Do drafted documents export as Word files with proper court formatting?
Yes. Every drafted document exports as a Word file with jurisdiction-specific formatting like numbered paragraphs, definitions sections, local rule compliance for margins and fonts, page limits, certificates of service, and tables of contents and authorities where required. You can then edit in Word before filing.
Legal Research & AI
Questions about model access, grounded answers, citation verification, deposition prep, and transcript generation from media files.
How many AI models does AI.Law offer, and can I inject my case documents into a research conversation?
AI.Law offers 10 AI models in a single interface, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI.Law's own legal model. You can inject documents from any matter directly into the conversation, so you can upload a complaint and ask what affirmative defenses may be raised, or inject discovery responses and ask which answers are deficient. Every conversation saves to a research library organized by matter.
Does AI.Law's AI ever fabricate case citations or facts?
AI.Law's AI tools are built with factual grounding, so every answer cites the specific source document and page. The platform does not allow AI to cite case law from its own memory; legal citations come through a research pipeline with real, verifiable sources. Every AI prompt includes anti-hallucination instructions requiring factual grounding.
Can I verify citations in a brief or motion to check if a holding was misrepresented?
Yes. The Brief Analyzer extracts every citation from an uploaded brief or motion, looks up each case in CourtListener, reads the actual holding, and compares it to the proposition cited. Verified citations get a green shield. Citations where the case does not exist are flagged. Citations where the holding contradicts the brief are flagged as misrepresented, with the actual holding quoted so you can see the discrepancy immediately.
Can I use AI.Law to prepare for depositions?
Yes. The Witness Prep tool reads your case documents, identifies every document mentioning the witness, maps their role to the claims, and generates a structured preparation outline with anticipated questions by topic, suggested preparation points, potential impeachment traps based on prior statements, and the areas where the witness's testimony matters most.
Can AI.Law transcribe audio and video recordings into searchable text?
Yes. Upload video depositions, client calls, hearing recordings, witness interviews, or expert consultations. AI.Law converts them to searchable transcripts with speaker identification and timestamps. The transcribed text then feeds directly into AI Associate queries, deposition analysis, and cross-referencing workflows.
Case Analysis
Questions about issue spotting, impeachment, dismissal risk, action planning, trial prep, and insurance coverage analysis.
Can AI.Law identify claims or defenses I might have missed, like negligence per se or dram shop liability?
Yes. The Issue Spotter reads uploaded documents like police reports, medical records, and contracts and identifies viable claims or defenses, including negligence per se from code violations, respondeat superior against employers, dram shop liability, loss of consortium, punitive damages, and other case theories that may affect liability or exposure. Each finding includes confidence levels, cited authority, and references to source documents.
How does deposition analysis work? Can it find prior inconsistent statements across multiple witnesses?
Upload deposition transcripts in ASCII, PDF, or Word format. AI cross-references every answer against the same witness's interrogatory responses, other witnesses' testimony, and your case documents. It generates impeachment charts with exact page-and-line citations that are ready for Rule 613 cross-examination. A 300-page transcript can be analyzed in minutes instead of days.
Can AI.Law evaluate a complaint for dismissal risk under Rule 12(b)(6)?
Yes. The Dismissal Analyzer reads a complaint, identifies the elements required for each cause of action, and evaluates whether the factual allegations satisfy the Iqbal/Twombly plausibility standard. It flags vulnerable claims and shows where the pleading may be exposed to dismissal arguments under Rule 12(b)(6).
Does AI.Law build a litigation strategy or action plan for a case?
Yes. The Action Plan reads uploaded documents in the matter and delivers a structured litigation strategy that includes early case assessment, case valuation framing, recommended discovery sequencing, deposition order strategy, expert retention timing, anticipated defense motions with counterarguments, and venue analysis, all with clickable citations back to the case file.
Can AI.Law map evidence to the elements of each claim or defense for trial prep?
Yes. The Evidence War Room maps documents, deposition testimony, and exhibits to the specific elements of each claim and defense. You can quickly see where the proof is strong, where it is thin, and what evidence still needs to be obtained so gaps are surfaced before trial, not during it.
Does AI.Law analyze insurance policies and reservation of rights letters?
Yes. Upload insurance policies, declarations pages, and reservation of rights letters and AI.Law extracts key coverage details like named insureds, policy periods, coverage types and limits, deductibles, exclusions, and endorsements. It then maps coverage to claims, flags reservation language, and highlights possible coverage gaps or bad-faith indicators.
Can AI.Law help identify privilege issues or sensitive documents before production or sharing?
Yes. AI.Law supports privilege and sensitive-document tagging, document-level flags like privileged and do-not-share, and analysis workflows that surface privilege issues during document review. That helps teams spot materials that need attorney review or special handling before production, export, or client-facing sharing.
Practice Management
Questions about deadlines, billing, client portals, calendar briefings, and AI-polished time entry inside the same platform.
How do I track statute of limitations across all my cases?
The SOL Calculator computes filing deadlines with jurisdiction-specific tolling rules, government notice periods, and borrowing statutes while citing the applicable statutes. Deadlines sync to your calendar with escalating warnings, and each matter displays a persistent SOL banner so the most critical deadline remains visible.
Does AI.Law include billing and invoicing, or do I need separate software?
Billing is built in and free on every plan. You can generate invoices from tracked time and expenses, manage trust account deposits and disbursements with three-way reconciliation, track payments and balances, and run firm-wide financial reports by matter, client, attorney, or practice area. Time entries can also be AI-polished with UTBMS codes from rough notes.
Is there a client portal where my clients can upload documents and see case updates?
Yes. AI.Law includes a branded client portal where clients can view case status updates, upload documents securely, and communicate with your firm. You can also send AI-delivered intake links through the portal, and clients can respond to discovery requests through a guided interface.
Does the calendar give me a daily briefing on what's happening across my cases?
Yes. AI.Law delivers a daily morning briefing that surfaces deadlines, hearings, tasks, and SOL warnings across all your matters. The calendar reads case data, extracts key dates from uploaded documents like court orders and correspondence, and monitors every deadline you set so nothing gets missed on a heavy caseload.
Does AI.Law handle UTBMS coding for time entries?
Yes. AI-polished time entries include UTBMS codes automatically. You can write rough notes like reviewing a deposition transcript, comparing it to interrogatory answers, and drafting an impeachment chart, and AI.Law converts that into properly coded entries with cleaner billing language and less block billing risk.
How does AI.Law handle collaboration when multiple attorneys or staff work in the same matter?
AI.Law is designed for team use inside the same matter. Attorneys and staff can work from the same document library, shared case record, research history, workflow tasks, calendar items, and strategy outputs, so the team stays aligned instead of duplicating work across disconnected systems.
Intake & CRM
Questions about lead tracking, conflict checks, bilingual intake, conversational interviews, attribution, and lead-to-matter conversion.
Do you have a CRM for tracking leads, and does it include conflict checks?
Yes, and it is free. The Lead CRM tracks every prospect through your intake pipeline with automatic conflict checks at entry against existing clients and adverse parties. It also includes case-type classification, lead-source ROI tracking, and one-click conversion from lead to active matter with all data carrying forward.
Can AI.Law conduct client intake in Spanish?
Yes. AI-delivered intake runs in both English and Spanish with full parity. Clients describe their injuries and situation in their own words through a conversational AI interview, which often produces richer detail than a phone call. The intake narrative then feeds into drafting and case strategy tools.
How does the AI intake compare to traditional web forms?
Traditional intake relies on static forms with fixed questions. AI.Law's intake is a conversational interview that adapts follow-up questions based on the client's answers, much like a strong intake coordinator would. If the client mentions a second vehicle, prior injury, or treatment delay, the system can explore those details instead of leaving them buried.
Does the CRM tell me which marketing channels are actually producing signed cases?
Yes. The Lead CRM tracks lead source through the entire pipeline, from first contact to signed case to case value and resolution. That means you can compare actual conversion and value across channels and see where your marketing dollars are working and where they are being wasted.
What happens to the intake data when I convert a lead to an active matter?
Everything carries forward with one click, including contact information, case type, lead source, intake narrative, conflict check results, notes, and estimated case value. There is no re-entry, no separate system, and no data loss. The client's own words from intake flow directly into drafting tools, AI Associate queries, and other tools.
Can I import matters from my current system instead of starting from scratch?
Yes. AI.Law supports migration and import workflows for firms moving data from other systems. The goal is to bring over existing matter information, documents, and related records so your team does not have to rebuild active files manually before using the platform.
Do I need to change my existing workflow, or can AI.Law layer on top of how my firm already works?
AI.Law can fit into an existing workflow rather than forcing a full reset on day one. Firms can use it as the primary workspace for intake, documents, drafting, and billing, or connect it into their current stack through APIs, MCP connections, imports, and workflow-based features that match how litigation teams already operate.
Security & Integration
Questions about data protection, AI ethics, firm controls, the founder, and whether AI.Law connects with existing systems.
Is my client data secure? Does AI.Law train its models on my case files?
AI.Law is SOC 2 Type II certified and uses encryption in transit and at rest. Your case data is never used to train AI models. The platform is built following ABA Opinion 512 guidance on AI ethics in legal practice, and AI.Law holds U.S. Patent No. 12,461,932 for its litigation AI technology.
Can I connect AI.Law to my existing tools via API?
Yes. AI.Law offers API access and MCP connections for firms that want to integrate with existing systems or build custom workflows. The Enterprise offering includes dedicated support for integration setup.
Who built AI.Law?
AI.Law was built by Troy Doucet, a top-rated litigation attorney whose firm has litigated over 2,200 matters. The platform is designed by someone who actually practices litigation, not a general software company guessing at legal workflows, and it is protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,461,932.
Does AI.Law comply with ABA ethics opinions on AI use in legal practice?
Yes. AI.Law is built with ABA Formal Opinion 512 in mind. The platform includes AI controls that let firms set guardrails on AI usage, require factual grounding with source citations, and maintain attorney supervision over all AI-generated work product. Your data is never used to train models.
Can I control how my attorneys use the AI tools and set guardrails?
Yes. AI Controls let firm administrators configure how AI tools are used across the firm, including which tools are available, what level of AI autonomy is permitted, and what review requirements apply before AI-generated work product is finalized. This helps firms supervise AI usage in a way that fits their ethics and risk-management policies.
What happens to my data if I cancel or want to export everything?
AI.Law is designed so firms can export their data rather than being trapped in the platform. If a firm cancels or wants to move information out, documents, matter data, and related records remain part of an organized system built for portability and controlled access rather than lock-in.
