Built by a Pro Se · Tested in Active Federal & State Litigation

The platform is forged in the same court records it serves.

Most legal AI tools are built by lawyers for lawyers. ADS was built by a pro se litigant currently fighting four concurrent matters against Fortune 500 defendants — without representation, without a firm behind him, without the $1,200/hour partner across the table. Every case below is public record, verifiable through the courts named. The platform you're looking at is the same one that filed them.
