Court motions, short or complex, drafted to your court's rules
For people representing themselves and for law firms, in state and federal courts across the United States. The software drafts the motion; you review it, sign it and file it.
Legal Ops Depot is litigation software. Its engine drafts a motion, a standard short motion or a longer, heavier one such as Rule 60 relief from judgment or reconsideration, for the court on your caption and to that court's official rules, with every case citation checked on 4 points. You review it, sign it and file it yourself. Each item is one price per filing, paid once, from $299.

Which motions does the software draft?
Two items on Pricing cover motions. You choose the motion; the software drafts the one you choose.
Short motion
A standard short motion: one request to the judge, the grounds for it and the facts the judge needs to grant it.
Complex motion
Longer, heavier motions, commonly Rule 60 relief from judgment or reconsideration.
Not a motion item
A challenge to a criminal conviction or sentence is ordered as a Petition, whatever the court calls the paper, a federal § 2255 motion included.
What do you get with a motion?
A finished packet you can take to the clerk, the same for every filing: what you receive on How it works.
The filing itself
The filing itself, formatted to your court's rules: caption, margins, fonts, spacing, and page or word limits.
Every companion document
Every companion document that court requires with it, such as a cover page, certificate of service, certificate of compliance and table of authorities.
Exhibits, indexed and numbered
Exhibits, indexed and numbered. A record appendix is ordered separately.
A citation ledger
A citation ledger: every case the filing relies on, where it came from, and why it fits your facts.
The deadline math
The deadline math, written out, with the rule each date comes from.
A print-ready PDF
A print-ready PDF, checked page by page.
How does the software build the motion?
The same engine builds every filing: 15 phases, 94 defined steps and 3 checkpoints. See every phase on How it works.
You order it on Pricing
Payment runs through Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe; this site never sees or stores them.
You add your case details
Your order is saved in your account, and you add your case details there: who is filing, the court if you know it, the signature-block lines and your documents.
The engine does the work
Every document you give it is read in full, deadlines are computed from the document and the rule text, and the research runs in the law library, the authority that binds your court first and the law against the motion searched as hard as the law for it. Then the motion is drafted to your court's rules, attacked, and every case citation is verified.
You review at 3 checkpoints
By default, the work stops twice for review, and the whole filing gets a final read before it ships. In order: Checkpoint 1 · The consult (after intake), Checkpoint 2 · Strategy sign-off (before drafting) and Checkpoint 3 · Final read (before filing).
You sign it and file it
The finished packet comes back to you. You sign it and file it with the clerk yourself. The software does not appear in your case, speak for you, or sign anything for you.
- It existsThe case is found in the source, not recalled from memory.
- The quote is word for wordAny quoted language matches the opinion exactly.
- It says what the filing saysThe point it is cited for is actually in the opinion.
- No later decision found overrules itThe research looks for later decisions that cite it.
Only overruled U.S. Supreme Court decisions are flagged automatically, so read the limits.

Questions about motions
Which item is my motion, short or complex?
A standard short motion is the Short motion item. Longer, heavier motions, commonly Rule 60 relief from judgment or reconsideration, are the Complex motion item. Each is one price per filing, paid once. Not sure which fits? Request a quote and get a price before you pay anything.
My motion challenges a criminal conviction. Which item is it?
The Petition item. The catalog puts all post-conviction relief under the Petition item, whatever the court calls the paper, a federal § 2255 motion included.
Is the motion written to my court's rules?
Yes. A motion answers to three rule sets at once: the procedural rules for your court system, the local rules of your courthouse and the judge's own standing orders. The engine works to the official rules of the court on your caption, state or federal, once that court's rules are loaded. The law library has 3,400 courts matched to their official court rules, in 57 U.S. jurisdictions.
Does the software keep track of my deadline?
It checks every document for deadlines, computes them from the document and the rule text, and writes out the deadline math with the rule each date comes from. Filing on time stays your responsibility.
Is Legal Ops Depot a law firm? Will it tell me how my motion will turn out?
No. Legal Ops Depot is AI litigation software, not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice, and no result is promised. The software drafts the motion at your direction; you review it, sign it and file it yourself.
How are the case citations checked?
Every case citation is checked against the full court opinion on 4 points: the case exists, any quote is word for word, the case says what the motion says it says, and no later decision the research finds overrules it. A citation that fails any point is removed.
Why is every case citation checked?
Because AI tools can invent cases. A public database of court decisions that found a party relied on AI-invented material, mostly fake citations, listed 2,225 cases as of October 27, 2026 (AI Hallucination Cases, by Damien Charlotin). Some courts now require anyone who used generative AI on a filing, including people representing themselves, to say so and to certify that every citation was verified; the circuit courts for Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida did so in orders of May 20, 2026 (Florida Bar News, May 21, 2026). The software checks each case citation in the motion on 4 points and removes any that fails. Following your court's rules on AI use is still your responsibility.
Why not use the free court form?
You can, and if a free form fits your case, use it. Many courts publish free fill-in forms for people representing themselves. A form gives you the blanks to fill in. It does not research the law, find and check the case citations, or write the motion to your court's rules. That is the work the software does.
