Our Mission
Our mission is to increase access to justice for ordinary people by leveraging qualified lawyers, technology and communications to make legal services more available and affordable for everyone.
Our Strategy
We are developing an arsenal of resources and tech solutions that help us solve the access to justice problem. However, we want to protect the public and the legal system from "do it yourself" or artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that can result in inaccurate or sub-optimal advice. AI has a tendency to "hallucinate" (i.e. make stuff up) and may fail to exercise the good judgement that real human lawyers are trained to apply.
Accordingly, our policy is that licensed lawyers must be "in the loop" to check all AI-generated work. Retained lawyers are always responsible for providing the final legal advice, even when leveraging AI to provide faster, better, and lower-cost service.
Free Legal Referrals
We help consumers find qualified lawyers in most legal practice areas across the U.S.
Reduced Cost Services
We're developing AI-based technology to help lawyers provide high quality legal assistance at lower cost to the general public.
Supporting Other Access to Justice Organizations
including non-profit organizations dedicated to improving access to needed legal services.
Our team is led by experts with more than 50 years of combined experience in law and technology.

Did you know? There are more than 250 million adults, in more than 125 million households in the U.S. today.
Most of them have doctors and dentists, but very few have lawyers. Only a minority of the population can effectively access the legal system or afford important legal services.
As a result, needs go unmet.
According to studies (e.g., from the Legal Services Corporation), about 86% of civil legal problems reported by low-income Americans receive inadequate or no legal help.
Ordinary consumers face significant cost barriers.
High cost of legal services: Attorneys are expensive—often charging $300–$600/hour or more—making them out of reach for many people. Even moderate income people and small businesses frequently do not obtain legal services that would make them better off– whether for business transactions, employment matters, property matters, estate planning, family law matters, or addressing other legal issues.
There is no cost-effective resolution mechanism for most disputes.
The cost of litigation is too high for effectively resolving most disputes.
Racial, social, and geographical inequities are abound.
The lack of access to affordable legal services is especially pronounced for minority, marginalized, and lower income populations, as well as rural communities that tend to have fewer lawyers.
