Questions and answers

Every common question in one place. If yours is not here, see support or write to contact@legalopsdepot.com. Court words are explained in the glossary, and the common filings step by step in the guides.
What the software is
What is Legal Ops Depot?
AI litigation software. It has two parts: a filing engine that prepares court papers at your direction, to the rules of your court, and a law library of court rules, statutes and about 10 million court opinions that you or your AI assistant can search.
Are you a law firm or attorneys?
No. Legal Ops Depot is not a law firm, and we are not attorneys or paralegals. We do not represent anyone, give legal advice or hold consultations. The software prepares papers at your direction. You review them, sign them and file them yourself.
Can I just use an AI chatbot to write this?
A general-purpose chatbot can quote a case that does not exist, and it cannot show you where a quote came from. In our engine, a citation can appear in your papers only as a row in a citation ledger that records where the case was fetched from, and a filing cannot render while a citation on the page has no row behind it.
Which AI models does the engine use?
By default, two AI model families from two different companies, currently Anthropic's Claude and xAI's Grok. One researches, drafts and checks; the other reads the whole file for itself and attacks it, the way the other side would. Neither one's word counts as a source: proof comes from the record, the rule text and the opinions actually read. If the second model is unavailable, the matter pauses; it proceeds without it only on a recorded, logged waiver.
Will it tell me whether my case is worth filing?
No. Telling you whether to file would be legal advice. The research shows the controlling law it found, including law against your position, with sources. Whether to file is your decision; a licensed attorney or a legal-aid office can advise you.
Does it tell me whether a case is still good law?
No. For any decision, the library shows the cases that cite it and the cases it cites. The only automatic warning is for U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have been overruled. Read the cases that cite a decision yourself before you rely on it.
Filings and prices
What filings does it prepare?
Civil complaints, including Section 1983 civil rights complaints; petitions, including extraordinary writs and petitions asking a higher court to review a decision; motions; opening, answering and reply briefs; notices of appeal; and appendices. Work that is not on the catalog can be quoted.
Does it work in every state?
Yes. State and federal, trial and appellate, across the United States. The rules for your court and your type of filing are pulled as rule text for each filing, so a paper for one state is never prepared from another state's rulebook.
What does a filing cost?
Each item has a flat price on the pricing page, and you see it before you pay. There is no retainer and no hourly meter. Items without a listed price, and rush work, are quoted first: you get a number before you pay anything.
How long does it take?
Standard is 7 days from payment. Rush is an add-on: ask for it through the quote form and give the court and the date on your order.
What do I receive?
A finished packet: the filing formatted to your court's rules, the companion documents that court requires with it, your exhibits indexed, a citation ledger for every case relied on, the deadline math written out with the rule each date comes from, and a print-ready PDF checked page by page.
What do I have to approve?
There are 3 checkpoints. By default, you approve twice, and the whole filing gets a final read before it ships: the consult, the strategy sign-off and the final read. At the consult, after intake, you decide which filing fits and what the court requires with it; research does not start until then. At the strategy sign-off you approve the plan after it has been attacked; drafting does not start until then. The final read, before filing, covers the exact pages to be filed.
What happens after I pay?
Your order opens under your account, and you can follow it when you sign in. Your orders area is where you upload records and download finished work; it stays open for 365 days after your latest paid filing.
Who files it with the court?
You do. We do not enter an appearance, speak for you, or sign anything on your behalf. You remain the filer.
How do I ask about a charge or a refund?
Write to contact@legalopsdepot.com from the email on your account. The terms page sets out how filing orders and plans are billed.
The law library and connector
What is in the law library?
About 10 million court opinions from 2,197 courts, with 77 million citation links; 3,400 courts matched to their official court rules in 57 U.S. jurisdictions; the U.S. Code, the codes of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico; and the Code of Federal Regulations.
Is the law library legal advice?
No. It is a research tool. It returns the text of rules, statutes and court opinions with their citations, so you and your assistant work from the source instead of memory. Check the official source before you rely on anything you find.
Which AI apps does the connector work with?
Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps that can add a remote (MCP) connector with sign-in. You add the connector address, then sign in with your account in the browser. You can also call the same research tools from your own software with an API key.
Can the connector change anything in my account?
No. Every public tool is read-only. It looks things up; it cannot file, edit or delete anything.
What does a plan cost, and what counts as a call?
The Free plan costs nothing, needs no card and allows 40 lookups a day. Paid plans allow more, and their current prices are on the pricing page. Each lookup is one call. Calls are counted per account per day (UTC), across the connector and the API together.
Can I cancel a law library plan?
Yes, any time, from your account page. When a paid plan ends, the account goes back to Free.
Accounts and privacy
What do you keep about me?
Your email, name and a one-way hash of your password; the matters, records and files of your filing orders; quote requests; and how many research calls your account makes. The privacy page lists everything and who handles it for us.
How do I pay, and who sees my card?
Payment runs through Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe; we never see or store them. You get a receipt by email.
How do I get a copy of my data or delete it?
Write to contact@legalopsdepot.com from the email on your account and say what you want: a copy of a matter, or deletion of a matter or your whole account.
Questions from law firms
Can a law firm use this?
Yes. The engine prepares the filing on your caption, to your court's rules, as overflow drafting, so partner and associate time does not go into covers, tables of authorities and word counts. Volume and custom work are quoted.
Is there a plan for an office?
Yes. The Firm law library plan has 10,000 calls a day shared by up to 5 API keys, and allows 300 calls a minute (other plans allow 30). The price is on the pricing page.
