Problem
The legal system is financially inaccessible for a large segment of the population, with small claims courts capping at roughly $10,000 to $25,000 while full litigation costs far exceed that threshold. Three out of four people handle legal issues on their own, yet self-represented litigants win only 3% of cases, and 63 million cases are filed by individuals without representation each year. Free legal aid is means-tested and often unavailable, leaving the "missing middle"—those earning too much for aid but too little for attorney fees—with no affordable route through the justice system.
Solution
Legali.ai provides three AI-native products—Lea, MyLegali, and TeamLegali—designed for different users at different stages of their legal journey, from survivors in crisis to everyday people to professional legal teams. The platform explains legal terminology, breaks down complex procedures into plain-language steps, and helps users organize their records and prepare documents, all while maintaining that it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. Users stay in control of their case, with the platform helping them understand the process well enough to know when professional advice is needed. The platform includes tools for document preparation, date tracking, and case organization, delivered with enterprise-grade security infrastructure including SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and HIPAA-grade encryption.
Target Audience
Primary users are self-represented litigants in the "missing middle" income bracket, survivors in crisis, and everyday people with legal disputes too large for small claims but too small for traditional legal representation, as well as legal aid organizations, schools, universities, and community groups that support these individuals.
