What top AI lawyers spent months building.Set up by Claude in minutes.
Claude learns your practice and handles the setup. Draft court-formatted documents, check citations, and work with your firm’s knowledge. Just talk to Claude like an associate.
I found your firm's website and your State Bar listing. Here's the counsel block I'll print on your papers:

700 Oceangate, Suite 1400, Long Beach, CA 90802
Your intake notes for the Marquez bus injury are in your Dropbox. Want me to draft the complaint?
Noted. Every complaint will include a jury demand from now on. Here's the draft, formatted for L.A. Superior Court:
Your AI does the setup.
Nothing new to learn. Tell Claude how your firm works and it remembers. DocketDrafter is an app for Claude, not you.
You stay in charge.
Every change is saved and reversible. Citations are checked in a workflow you direct. Your whole team works from the same setup, so a rule you set once applies to everyone.
Big-firm IT, without the headcount.
A new court, a document type you’ve never run, an official form you’ve never used: ask your AI and it sets them up. Nothing to build, nothing to wait for. Plus two coaching sessions a month with the founders.

“That playing field’s totally leveled now. If anything, it’s an advantage to have one person in the control room who understands the whole case.”
Richard SerpePlaintiff trial lawyerRead Richard's story “It’s 8 o’clock at night, you’re exhausted, but with using all these tools, you’re able to actually do the same argument that you would have put forward otherwise.”
Brian LehmanNew York litigation attorneyRead Brian's story Name the form. Your AI fills it out.
The answers are already in your case file. Your AI puts them on the court's current form and leaves the judgment calls to you.
Done. I filled the Fourteenth Court of Appeals' civil docketing statement from the judgment, the notice of appeal, and the trial court docket. Fees and damages come from the summary judgment order.
Two items need you, and I left a review note on each:
- Whether to agree to mediation
- The issues statement for Section XI
What changes at your firm.
- Caseload
- Before: Smaller matters don’t pay for the work they take.
- Take on the cases you used to turn down.
- Attention
- Before: You switch from the argument to checking 12-point font.
- Your attention stays on the argument, even at the end of a long day.
- Staff
- Before: You wait on a paralegal, or your paralegal works nights.
- Finish it yourself tonight, and your paralegal starts from a ready draft.
- Opposing counsel
- Before: A defense team of seven out-briefs you.
- One lawyer keeps up, and understands the whole case.
- Motions
- Before: Some motions aren’t worth the time it takes to bring them.
- Bring them. The package comes together in an afternoon, not a week.
- Pricing
- Before: Flat fees are a gamble when you can’t predict the hours.
- Quote a flat fee with confidence, because the production hours are gone.
- Versions
- Before: “Final, final, final v5,” and someone’s edits get overwritten.
- One working copy, with every version saved.
- Confidence with AI
- Before: You repeat the same instructions and wonder what you’re missing.
- Your corrections stick, and the founders are a call away.
Frequently asked questions
You can! Claude is powerful enough that you can build many of these workflows yourself. But that means spending your time setting them up, troubleshooting problems, and maintaining it over time.
DocketDrafter takes care of that for you. Just connect it to Claude and get to work. When you need something different, ask Claude in legal terms. You shouldn’t have to become your own IT department to get the most out of Claude.
If your practice produces documents, yes. What it looks like depends on the work: discovery and motions for litigators, forms and letter briefs for immigration, wills and reporting letters for estate planners. The quickest way to see it for your practice is to ask your own AI, which will read how DocketDrafter works and answer for your firm specifically.
You review everything before it goes out, the same as with a junior’s draft. Every change is saved with who made it and why, so anything can be compared or undone, and revisions come back to you as Word redlines. The cite check flags problems for your decision rather than quietly changing your brief.
DocketDrafter never trains AI on your content and never receives your conversations with your assistant, only the files your AI works on in DocketDrafter. Those are encrypted and stored in the United States, and only the two founders and the tools they use to support your firm can access them. Whether you can put client information into Claude or ChatGPT in the first place depends on your plan and settings with that provider, which our ethics guide covers.
Read: Can lawyers use Claude? Ethics, confidentiality, and client dataConnect DocketDrafter to your AI and say “Onboard me to DocketDrafter.” Your AI looks up your firm and bar listing, confirms the counsel block for your papers, and offers to start on real work. Your format comes from your own filings or a Word document you hand it. There’s no questionnaire, and most lawyers get a real document in their first session.
No. There are no settings screens and nothing to learn. You tell your AI how you work in plain English, the way you’d tell a new associate, and it keeps each instruction as a standing order for everyone at your firm. If something doesn’t work, your AI tells us and we fix it.
Any assistant that supports MCP connectors, including Claude and ChatGPT. Everyone at your firm can use whichever one they prefer and work from the same setup. A paid plan is strongly recommended: free plans have tight usage limits and don’t include the strongest models.
