Legal Intelligence Platform

Most people don't know if their lawyer is right for their case.

CourtSide analyzes your court documents and matches you with attorneys who actually handle your type of case. No guessing. No directory spam. Just the right lawyer for what you're facing.

Courtroom — legal document scanning

The Reality

You got served. Now what?

You don't know the case type

Civil, criminal, family — the papers don't tell you what kind of lawyer you actually need. Legal terminology is designed for lawyers, not people.

Lawyers don't advertise their actual specialties

"General practice" can mean anything. A family lawyer doesn't belong near a personal injury case, but you'd never know from their website.

The best lawyers don't advertise

Word-of-mouth and reputation drive the best attorneys. You only find them if you know someone who knows someone. The rest of us get the first Google result.

"I've watched clients spend a year with the wrong lawyer before coming to me. They had no way to know the difference." — Ian Ballard, Immigration Attorney

Americans get served with some form of legal action each year. The majority have no structured way to identify the right attorney for their specific case.
