Our Mission: Equip the Front Lines of Justice
EqualLaw was founded on a simple observation: the people tasked with upholding the Sixth Amendment are being buried by a mountain of digital evidence.
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."
Public defenders often carry caseloads exceeding ABA recommendations
Body cam footage and digital evidence volumes growing exponentially
Technology investment gap between prosecution and defense offices
Public defenders face an impossible task: provide constitutionally mandated effective counsel to every client while drowning in digital evidence and operating with a fraction of the resources available to prosecutors.
This isn't just an efficiency problem—it's a constitutional crisis. When defenders can't review all the evidence, clients' liberty is at risk, the justice system fails, and the Sixth Amendment becomes hollow words.
Our Guiding Principles
Four core beliefs that guide every decision we make and every feature we build.
The Attorney is the Authority
AI is a powerful tool, but it is not a lawyer. Our platform is built to assist, not replace. The attorney is, and always will be, in complete control.
Built with Defenders, for Defenders
Our development is guided by an active partnership with public defender offices. Every feature is in response to a real-world workflow, tested by attorneys on the front lines.
Security is Non-Negotiable
We understand the sensitivity of client data. That's why our platform is built on CJIS-compliant infrastructure. Security isn't an add-on; it's our foundation.
Level the Playing Field
Our goal is to give every defense attorney the same technological advantages as the most well-funded prosecutor's office. We believe technology is one of the fastest ways to equalize access to justice.
How We Work
Our development process is fundamentally collaborative.
Listen to Defenders
We spend time with public defender offices understanding their workflows, pain points, and real needs—not what we think they need.
Build & Test Together
Every feature is tested with real attorneys on real cases. We iterate based on their feedback until it works for their actual workflow.
Continuous Improvement
Our partnership doesn't end at launch. We continuously gather feedback and improve the platform based on real-world usage.
Why This Matters

- Documentation of thorough case preparation
- Better outcomes for every client
For Justice
- Sixth Amendment rights become reality, not theory
- Reduced wrongful convictions through thorough review
- More balanced adversarial system
- Public trust in the legal system
