The Problem
More than 70%, or 30 million people a year in the U.S. struggle to make civil courts work for them.
People without lawyers, or pro se litigants, often don’t understand their legal rights or the process. Without this knowledge they can’t effectively represent themselves.
WHAT CAUSES IT
This is because over 80% of working families can't afford to hire an attorney in a system designed by lawyers, for lawyers.

The Solution
OUR MISSION
At Quest for Justice, we are on a journey with a singular goal: to revolutionize court efficiency using next generation court self-help technology. Our unique approach prioritizes getting litigants truly ready for trial. Trial ready litigants make fewer procedural mistakes and present clearer arguments.
The result: fewer judicial resources consumed and significantly more efficient courts. Through our technology and unwavering commitment to innovation, we envision a future marked by increased public trust in our most vital institution, the courts.
HOW WE DO IT
We embed JusticeDirect into existing court's self-help websites containing:
-
Guided Legal Education – Litigants answer simple questions and are guided each step of the way to better understand, stay up-to-date and resolve their disputes.
-
Demand Letter – Plaintiffs can use the platform to send the other side a clear demand of what they want.
-
Settlement Letter – Defendants can use the platform to send an offer to settle their case. The platform will also help defendants craft payment plan requests to increase the likelihood of settlement to keep the case out of court.
-
File & Serve – Plaintiffs are provided with the resources to file & serve properly which will result in less waste of court resources to reschedule cases.
-
Trial Presentation – All litigants can create a JusticeDirect Trial Presentation™ (JD Trial Presentation™) document to explain and prove their case to the court.
