AI that puts real legal representation within reach

Harnessing AI.
Channeling lawyers. Securing access to justice for all.

A lawyer typically costs $349 an hour — a full divorce can run well into five figures. Lawma's AI does the tedious paperwork so your lawyer can focus on advocating for you. Saved time becomes saved money: a pre-negotiated flat fee, typically $200 to $3,500 for the whole matter, shown before you commit (and waived if you qualify for legal aid).

Why we built this

AI for the people the legal system left behind.

Most Americans who face a court matter face it alone. Not because they don't care about the outcome — because they can't afford the help that would change it. They risk losing things they can't get back, with no alternative.

Every conversation about AI right now is a conversation about loss. Ours is different.

AI is a tool. What it becomes depends on what we point it at. We pointed it at this.

Affordability isn't a poverty issue. It's a two-in-three issue.

Two-thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck — including 40% earning over $100K. At $349 an hour, a lawyer isn't realistic for most households, across the income spectrum (CivicScience / Wealthvieu, 2026).

What the legal profession has been saying

This is not a fringe idea.

U.S. Supreme Court justices, ABA presidents, and state chief justices have been calling for exactly what Lawma builds — lawyer-supervised technology that brings real legal representation within reach. Two of them in their own words:

“Expense is the principal impediment to obtaining legal representation, and thus the principal impediment to access to justice… Justice for only those who can afford it is neither justice for all nor justice at all.”

Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Texas (longest-serving in Texas history) · 73 Baylor Law Review 231, 232 (2021) →

“We must open our minds to innovative approaches and to leveraging technology in order to identify new models to deliver legal services… It is our duty to serve the public, and it is our duty to deliver justice, not just to some, but to all.”

How Lawma works

Two ways in. One safe path.

Lawma keeps what people like about self-help — speed, low cost, control. We add what only a licensed lawyer can give: documents prepared with a real lawyer's judgment in every line, so the work you put in stands up in court.

If you have a lawyer

Your lawyer brings you onboard

Your lawyer gives you an access code. Sign in, and the work begins — your lawyer is reviewing alongside you from day one.

If you don't have one yet

We match you with a lawyer

Tell us about your case. Lawma matches you with a vetted, licensed lawyer at a pre-negotiated flat fee — typically $200 to $3,500 for the whole matter. The match itself is free.

  1. Your attorney-client relationship is established — your lawyer is now on your case.
  2. Answer simple questions in a guided interview.
  3. Lawma drafts the documents your case needs — court forms, contracts, demand letters, lease reviews.
  4. Your lawyer reviews and approves everything.
  5. You file with the court and get plain-language updates.

What you get

Built around your case, not a template

Lawma takes the hard, confusing parts off your plate — and keeps a real lawyer in charge the whole time.

The only truly guided interview

Generic DIY tools stay neutral — they have to, with no lawyer in the picture. Lawma actually coaches you. With a real lawyer on your case, our AI explains what each question means for your situation, in plain English. Save and resume any time.

Your legal documents, prepared & analyzed

Court forms, contracts, lease reviews — Lawma drafts what your case needs and analyzes what you already have. You don't have to figure out what's required.

A real lawyer who checks it

A licensed lawyer reviews your case and approves every document. Nothing goes to court until your lawyer says it is ready.

Updates you can understand

Lawma tells you what is happening and what comes next, in plain language — so you always know where your case stands.

For Attorneys

Attorneys: a market that's been waiting for you to reach it.

Revenue from the missing middle. Clients with real cases and real ability to pay at unit economics you can serve sustainably — households that earn too much for legal aid and too little for a full retainer.

Clients arrive prepared. Lawma's intake brings them in with facts gathered, documents uploaded, scope clarified — before your first call.

AI built for your cases. Drafting, document review, deadline tracking — for the case types you actually take. You sign every document.

A verified peer forum. Compare notes with other licensed attorneys on what works — under your real bar number, not anonymous.

No-friction terms. Free to join. No minimums. No exclusivity. Lawma takes a competitive marketplace share per engagement — well below a traditional referring-firm split.

The model rests on two pillars: AI trained for the cases you actually take — not a generic chatbot — and clients pre-qualified for your scope and rate before the first call.

DIY platforms have to stay generic — there's no lawyer in the loop. Lawma is built around you: you stay the lawyer of record, the AI handles routine work that used to eat your billable hours.

Community

You are not alone.

Others are going through exactly what you are. On Lawma's forum they share what worked, what didn't, and what got them through — divorce, custody, mental health, telling your kids, finding housing. Anonymous handles. Real conversations.

A group of hands joined together on a wooden tabletop, community and support.
