What AI does better than lawyers
Cheaper AND better. That is the AI advantage.

Lawyers work 9-5. Get help at midnight, on weekends, on holidays. Your deadline does not care about office hours.
Perfect Memory
Lawyers forget details, lose notes, miss connections. AI remembers every word of every document and never loses track.
Consistent Quality
No bad days, no distractions, no rushing to another client. Every case gets the same thorough analysis.
No Billable Hour Games

Common questions
Is this a law firm?
No. OwnYourCase is an AI tool that helps you understand legal documents and create responses. We provide legal information, not legal advice. For complex cases, we recommend consulting with a licensed attorney.
What types of cases does this work for?
We help defendants in civil lawsuits - debt collection, contract disputes, landlord-tenant issues, personal injury, and more. We focus on helping people respond to lawsuits filed against them.
How long do I have to respond to a lawsuit?
Typically 20-30 days from when you were served, but this varies by state and case type. Check your Summons for the exact deadline. Missing it can result in a default judgment against you.
Can the AI represent me in court?
No. Only licensed attorneys can represent you in court. But we can help you prepare documents, understand what's happening, and give you the knowledge to represent yourself if you choose.
Is my information private?
Yes. We take privacy seriously. Your documents and conversations are encrypted and never shared with third parties.
