Any given cases may involve: millions of documents; dozens of deposition transcripts; hundreds of discovery requests and responses; and countless convoluted and conflicting facts. To deal with that as efficiently as possible, I've developed my own apps. Here's a partial list:

DOCUMENT REVIEW AND DRAFTING

Ask a Question — Send the same question to dozens of documents and collect every answer at once.
Choose a question, point the app at a folder of documents, and get back an answer for each one, or a single combined answer about the whole set. Results come out as a spreadsheet, a formatted memo, or both. This is useful for quickly spotting which records mention a key date, confirm a fact, or contradict each other across a large document set.

Document Analyzer — Sorts a set of documents into Supports or Contradicts, with exact quotes.
State a proposition in plain English (for example, whether a seller knew about a defect before closing) and Document Analyzer reads the documents and ranks each one as supporting or contradicting it. Every result includes the verbatim passage from the document so you can verify it yourself. The app shows you the estimated cost before anything is sent to the AI service.

Summarize This — Condenses litigation documents into crisp executive and detailed summaries automatically.
Feed in a batch of case documents and get back a short executive summary for every file, plus a deeper summary for longer ones. Very large documents go through an extra refinement pass so nothing important gets lost. You always know what the summaries cost, tracked in real time as each document is processed. The result is a clear, readable digest of your files without spending hours reading them yourself.

Chron Miner — Pull every date and event from case documents into a ready-to-use chronology.
Chron Miner reads legal documents and pulls out every date and event it finds, then saves them as a spreadsheet you can sort, search, and build on. Each entry links back to its source document so you can check the record behind any event. A built-in duplicate finder catches events that several documents describe, so each one appears once.

Who's Who — Pull every name, email, phone, and company from your case files automatically.
Drop in a set of case documents and Who's Who combs through them to pull out names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and company affiliations. You get back a clean, deduplicated spreadsheet showing who appears in your files, how to reach them, and which documents they came from. This saves hours of hand-reviewing signature blocks and correspondence when you are trying to map out the people in a new matter.

Text Message Summarizer — Turn a PDF of text messages into a clear, organized summary with page references.
Drop in a PDF of exported text messages and get back a written summary you can use in litigation. Choose a topical summary that groups messages by subject, or a chronological summary that lists events by date with page citations. This saves hours of reading and re-reading message threads to find what happened and when.

Expert Opinion — Get a simulated expert-witness read of your records before you hire the real one.
Load a set of documents (medical records, financial files, construction reports), describe the question you need answered, and name the professional field. The app reads every document and returns a structured opinion written from that expert's perspective, listing which documents support each side, what is missing, and where the opinion stops. It is a fast first look that helps you decide whether the record supports your theory before spending money on a retained expert.

Draft or Oppose a Motion — Prepares a first draft of a California motion or opposition, following your directions, and verifies every case citation.
You tell the app what the motion should argue and point it at your case documents, and it prepares a first draft in Word of the notice of motion, argument, and supporting declaration. It is a starting point, not a finished product: you review it, revise it, and decide what gets filed. Before any case citation lands in the draft, the app retrieves the actual court opinion and confirms the case is real, that any quoted language truly appears in it, and that it supports the point being made. Citations that fail any check are removed, and a separate report tells you exactly what was cut and why.

Proofreader — Catches typos and internal contradictions in legal documents, sorted by page.
Drop in a Word or PDF document and get back a report listing every typo, missing word, garbled phrase, and internal contradiction, each one pinpointed to its exact page and line. A separate pass flags places where a name, dollar amount, or key term changes from one page to another. This is especially useful for long filings where a figure stated one way early on quietly contradicts itself later.

DISCOVERY AND DEPOSITION ANALYSIS

Discovery Analyzer — Spot weak objections and evasive answers in discovery responses under California law.
Upload the other side's discovery responses and Discovery Analyzer checks each answer against California Discovery Act rules. You get a plain breakdown of whether each objection holds up, whether the answer is complete, and ready-to-use language for a meet-and-confer letter or a motion to compel.

Client Fills in the Blanks — Send your client a fill-in form for discovery answers, then pull the answers back automatically.
The app turns the other side's discovery requests into a clean, fillable PDF your client can type answers directly into, one request at a time. When the client sends it back, the app reads the answers and places each one next to the right request. No more retyping a client's handwritten or emailed answers, and nothing gets matched to the wrong question.

Depo Summaries — Turn a deposition transcript into nine ready-to-use summaries, with page-and-line citations.
Drop in a deposition transcript and Depo Summaries reads every page, then produces a one-page narrative overview, testimony grouped by topic, a chronology of events, a log of admissions, a log of contradictions, a record of every "I don't know" answer, an exhibit list, and more. Each entry carries exact page-and-line citations so you can find the source instantly. You can optionally describe the key issues in your case, and the app will rank passages by how useful they are for impeachment or cross-examination.

Depo Find Testimony on Topic — Search deposition transcripts by topic and get every relevant passage with its question and page cite.
Drop in one or more deposition transcripts, type what you are looking for, and the app reads every page to pull out every relevant exchange, including the question that preceded each answer, so the excerpt can be used in court. Results come back with the witness name, a plain-English summary, the verbatim quoted text, and an exact page-and-line citation. This saves hours of manual transcript review and reduces the risk of missing testimony that matters to your case.

Depo Video and PDF Clips — Match a deposition transcript to its video, then cut courtroom-ready clips.
Feed in a deposition video and the court reporter's transcript, and the app figures out exactly when each line of testimony was spoken. From there, you can cut any passage into a video clip (one version with the testimony shown as captions below the picture, one clean) ready to play in a courtroom. You can also pull the matching transcript pages into a PDF with the chosen testimony boxed in red.

PARALEGAL TASKS

PDF Deconstructor — Splits a massive document dump into separate, named documents automatically.
When the other side produces thousands of pages as one giant PDF, PDF Deconstructor breaks it apart into individual documents. Each document is saved as its own PDF with a date and plain-English description in the filename, plus a short summary of the parties, key facts, and amounts in a searchable log. An optional hint box lets you describe anything unusual about the production, such as keeping invoices paired with their checks, and the app will follow those instructions.

Email Monster — Turns a mountain of exported emails into dated PDFs, searchable text, and a spreadsheet of who wrote to whom, and when.
Drop in a folder of exported email files and Email Monster renames each one by its sent date and time, then creates a matching PDF, plain-text copy, and folder of extracted attachments. Run it once more and it builds a spreadsheet of every email's sender, recipients, date, and subject for the whole batch. This saves hours of manual renaming and sorting when organizing email evidence.

Read This Photo — Pulls the actual text out of photos of documents, letters, or handwritten notes.
Point this app at a photo of any document (a letter, a handwritten note, a whiteboard, a photographed page) and it reads the text and hands it back to you as a Word or plain-text file. No more retyping what you can see on screen. The extracted text preserves the original layout as closely as possible, so it stays readable and usable right away.

Bates Stamper — Stamp every page of every file in a folder with sequential Bates numbers.
Point Bates Stamper at a folder and it works through every file (PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, images, emails, and more), adding a numbered label to each page in order. When finished, the app produces an index of everything it processed. Even files it cannot read get a placeholder entry so no Bates number is skipped.

Exhibit Stamper — Stamp exhibit numbers onto PDFs and build a tabbed, bookmarked exhibit binder.
Drop in your PDF files, set a starting number or letter, and Exhibit Stamper places a clean exhibit label on every page. You can burn the label in permanently or keep it moveable for last-minute changes. When you're done, the app can assemble everything into one combined PDF with a tab divider page and bookmark for each exhibit, plus an exhibit list ready to go.

Deadline Calculator — Enter a trial date and get every California civil deadline calculated automatically.
Feed in key dates (trial, status conference, case management conference, or a specific motion) and the app produces a spreadsheet listing every deadline, its legal authority, and its category. You can also drop in a court order and the app reads it to pull out any additional duties and their due dates.
