The flagship · grounded on real filings
The Drafting Workspace
A chat-first drafting desk where the engine never drafts from imagination. Every run retrieves real filings from the public court record — an exemplar spine built to draw on county, state, appellate, and federal sources — ranks them on a locality ladder that puts your own courthouse first, and grades them by the court’s own rulings: filings that won outrank everything, and filings without counsel of record never make the cut. The winners are pinned by hash and modeled, not copied — two integrity guards refuse any output that borrows their language or carries their parties. Ask counsel anything. Attach everything. Keep every case separate. Save to Word or PDF — and install it as a desktop app.

Draft, review, redline, or run the Opposing Counsel Pass™ — grounded first, every time, and comparative by doctrine: every finding is measured against what the exemplar set actually does. The result arrives with its provenance panel: which filings grounded it, from which court, at which rung of the ladder, with the court’s ruling on each — pinned by hash. Case caption, signature block, and certificate of service merge deterministically from your questionnaire — no model touches them.
Work product for the reviewing attorney — the foundations are structural models, never cited and never quoted, and output that leans on them is refused, not delivered.
One workspace, every workflow
Chat is the workhorse. Governance is built into every run.
Describe the outcome. DraftCounsel binds the matter, selects the governed workflow, pins real filings, runs each live engine, verifies the authorities, and asks for your decision.
“Review this draft motion, compare it against the pinned Florida foundations, run the Opposing Counsel Pass, verify every authority, and prepare a redline plus a clean version for review.”

The Opposing Counsel Pass™
Every other AI tells you its draft is brilliant. Ours is under standing orders to tear its own work apart. Your own personal red team, acting as opposing counsel — on every draft, every time.
§ 9 · Indemnification
drafting…Provider shall indemnify Client against all losses, damages, and expenses of any kind, including consequential, incidental, and punitive damages, without limitation, arising from Provider’s performance under this Agreement.
⚔ Opposing Counsel Pass™ — red team finding
HIGHUncapped indemnity — the engine just objected to its own clause
“As drafted, §9 exposes Provider to unlimited consequential and punitive damages. No cap, no carve-outs, no mutuality.”
Proposed redline
…limited to direct damages actually incurred, capped at the fees paid in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim…
Ruling recorded — immutable audit trail
Nothing finalizes until the last finding carries your decision.
Every objection it lands becomes a finding only you can clear — approve, reject, or revise, on an immutable record. Whatever survives your rulings goes in the file. Your opponents get the leftovers.
The first opposing counsel your draft ever meets works for you.

Attorney decision and audit record
12 litigation filing types ground on the public court record today — ranked on a locality ladder that puts your own courthouse first and graded by the court’s rulings; reviewed county exemplar packs, a governed public-record harvest, and licensed state-court connectors extend the ladder as each clears. Transactional drafts model real material agreements from the SEC’s public record — the agreements public companies actually file. Selection uses objective signals — never firm-name rankings or endorsements.
While other AI describes the law, this assembles the filings
The Probate Packet Desk
Facts in — the filing set out. The router selects the administration path and shows you the paths it rejected and why. Structural risks carry their citations. The creditor clock runs the statute. And the packet assembles from deterministic templates — the AI authors none of the operative text.

probate filings & court documents modeled, five administration paths

evaluation checks passed — the full scorecard is public
Petitions, oaths, notices, inventory, accounting, discharge — assembled in filing order for the path your facts select, with a per-filing attorney review checklist, printed packet, and a .docx export that re-runs the same engine server-side so the file can never diverge from the screen.
Drafts for the supervising attorney — every filing carries the pending sign-off caveat until counsel rules, and the platform does not file. Court-issued documents are honestly marked as the court's to enter.

Cite Check: catch the citation
that gets you sanctioned.
Every citation in your brief, read and checked against the Bluebook — reporters, short forms, pinpoints, the formatting errors that draw judicial criticism. Turn on existence verification and each case is matched against millions of real opinions in CourtListener, so the AI-hallucinated case that has gotten lawyers sanctioned is flagged before you file.
- ✓Bluebook format — reporters, spacing, short forms, pinpoints, T6 case-name abbreviations
- ✓Existence-verified — every case matched to a real opinion — hallucinated cites caught
- ✓Westlaw checklist — a downloadable, cite-by-cite list your paralegal works through
Format-correct is not the same as real — a hallucinated case can be perfectly formatted. Cite Check checks both.

The workstation
Where findings become decisions
Load any draft's self-review — or paste a report reference from outside filings — and work the rail: source text and proposed text side by side, your revision in place, your note on the record. The gate opens only when the last finding falls.
- ✓ Approve, reject, or revise — finding by finding, never in bulk
- ✓ Proposed language editable in place before you rule
- ✓ Print-ready decision packet for the matter file
- ✓ Revision engine generates the final from your decisions alone

Confidentiality
Private, account-bound, and deliberately shared.
Workspace records persist behind authenticated account ownership. Matter and firm access is granted explicitly, public sharing is opt-in, and model providers process only the content needed for the selected workflow.
Production data access is enforced through row-level policies and server-side authorization; export and sharing routes re-check scope on every request. Retention, deletion, subprocessors, and incident controls are documented on the trust center and the computed engine status page.

Questions counsel actually asks
What is DraftCounsel?▼
DraftCounsel (draftcounsel.io) is an AI drafting and review workstation for licensed attorneys, built by LegalDraft Technologies LLC. The engine produces a complete, state-tailored first draft with statutory citations, then attacks its own work with the Opposing Counsel Pass™ — and every finding routes through the attorney's approval workstation. Nothing finalizes without attorney sign-off, on an immutable audit trail.
Is DraftCounsel affiliated with draftcounsel.co?▼
No. DraftCounsel™ (draftcounsel.io), by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, is not affiliated with, connected to, or endorsed by draftcounsel.co or any other similarly named service. The official DraftCounsel attorney workstation is at draftcounsel.io; the companion consumer platform is LegalDraft (legaldraft.io).
How much does DraftCounsel cost?▼
Per-matter, one-time pricing — no subscriptions, no seats, no minimums. Matter Review (rigorous AI review of outside paper through the approval workstation) is $199 per matter. Matter Draft (the full drafting cycle, brief to adjudicated final, with Word export) is $249 per matter. Every plan includes the complete engine, the Opposing Counsel Pass™, Cite Check, the workstation, and the audit trail. Current checkout availability is always shown live on the pricing page.
Who is DraftCounsel for?▼
Licensed attorneys and their supervised staff. DraftCounsel is professional drafting software — the workstation assumes a lawyer is making the calls, and the audit trail exists to prove that a lawyer did.
What does the engine actually produce?▼
A complete first draft — numbered operative sections, recitals, protective boilerplate, signature blocks — drafted to your governing state with statutory citations and grounded in primary-source per-state law: verified execution formalities (witnesses, notarization, recording), statutory limits (security deposits, interest-rate caps), and a deterministic cross-document consistency check. Plus the Opposing Counsel Pass™ on that same draft: risk flags, missing protections, and negotiation points, each routed to your approval rail as an adjudicable finding.
What is the Opposing Counsel Pass™?▼
Your own personal red team, built into every draft. The moment your draft is finished, the engine switches sides and re-reads its own work as hostile opposing counsel — attacking ambiguities, over-reach, missing caps, absent carve-outs, and anything the opposition could use — and files every objection as a finding only you can dispose of. In a real production run it drafted a venue clause, then objected to its own work: "the single most critical blank in the document — may render the venue clause unenforceable." It runs on every draft automatically, with no opt-out, and on outside paper you upload too. No other drafting platform makes its AI testify against itself.
Does DraftCounsel check my citations?▼
Yes — Cite Check reads every citation in your brief and checks it against the Bluebook: reporter abbreviations and spacing, short forms (id./supra), pinpoints, and Table T6 case-name abbreviations, each flagged with the specific rule it violates. With existence verification enabled, every case is matched against CourtListener's database of millions of real opinions, so a non-existent or AI-hallucinated citation is caught before you file — plus a downloadable Westlaw verification checklist for manual sign-off. It tells you honestly which checks ran: a format-correct citation is not the same as a real one.
Can the AI finalize anything on its own?▼
No. The finalization gate is hard-coded: every finding must be approved, rejected, or revised by you before the work product can finalize. There is deliberately no "approve all" button.
What goes on the audit trail?▼
Every adjudication — the decision, the source text, the proposed text, your final text, your note, the playbook rule, and a timestamp — written to an append-only event log. Print the decision packet for the file, or export the consolidated trail.
Can it assemble a probate filing packet?▼
Yes — the Probate Packet Desk is deterministic end to end for Florida probate: enter the matter facts and the router selects the administration path (formal, summary, disposition without administration, or ancillary) while showing the alternatives it rejected and why. Structural risks surface with statute citations and remedies, the creditor-claim clock runs §§ 733.702/733.710, fee presumptions compute under §§ 733.617/733.6171, and the filing set assembles in order from deterministic templates with a per-filing attorney review checklist, print packet, and .docx export. The AI authors none of the operative text, every filing is a draft for the supervising attorney, and the platform does not file.
Is this legal advice? Does it create privilege?▼
No. DraftCounsel is a drafting tool operated by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, not a law firm. Output is AI-generated draft work product for your professional review; you remain solely responsible for the final work product. Communications with the platform are not attorney-client privileged.
How is client material handled?▼
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed server-side for the selected workflow, and protected by authenticated account, tenant, matter, and entitlement checks on every DraftCounsel read or export.
