What is DraftCounsel?▼
DraftCounsel (draftcounsel.io) is an AI drafting and review workstation for licensed attorneys, built by LegalDraft Technologies LLC. The engine produces a complete, state-tailored first draft with statutory citations, then attacks its own work with the Opposing Counsel Pass™ — and every finding routes through the attorney's approval workstation. Nothing finalizes without attorney sign-off, on an immutable audit trail.
Is DraftCounsel affiliated with draftcounsel.co?▼
No. DraftCounsel™ (draftcounsel.io), by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, is not affiliated with, connected to, or endorsed by draftcounsel.co or any other similarly named service. The official DraftCounsel attorney workstation is at draftcounsel.io; the companion consumer platform is LegalDraft (legaldraft.io).
How much does DraftCounsel cost?▼
Per-matter, one-time pricing — no subscriptions, no seats, no minimums. Matter Review (rigorous AI review of outside paper through the approval workstation) is $199 per matter. Matter Draft (the full drafting cycle, brief to adjudicated final, with Word export) is $249 per matter. Every plan includes the complete engine, the Opposing Counsel Pass™, Cite Check, the workstation, and the audit trail. Current checkout availability is always shown live on the pricing page.
Who is DraftCounsel for?▼
Licensed attorneys and their supervised staff. DraftCounsel is professional drafting software — the workstation assumes a lawyer is making the calls, and the audit trail exists to prove that a lawyer did.
What does the engine actually produce?▼
A complete first draft — numbered operative sections, recitals, protective boilerplate, signature blocks — drafted to your governing state with statutory citations and grounded in primary-source per-state law: verified execution formalities (witnesses, notarization, recording), statutory limits (security deposits, interest-rate caps), and a deterministic cross-document consistency check. Plus the Opposing Counsel Pass™ on that same draft: risk flags, missing protections, and negotiation points, each routed to your approval rail as an adjudicable finding.
What is the Opposing Counsel Pass™?▼
Your own personal red team, built into every draft. The moment your draft is finished, the engine switches sides and re-reads its own work as hostile opposing counsel — attacking ambiguities, over-reach, missing caps, absent carve-outs, and anything the opposition could use — and files every objection as a finding only you can dispose of. In a real production run it drafted a venue clause, then objected to its own work: "the single most critical blank in the document — may render the venue clause unenforceable." It runs on every draft automatically, with no opt-out, and on outside paper you upload too. No other drafting platform makes its AI testify against itself.
Does DraftCounsel check my citations?▼
Yes — Cite Check reads every citation in your brief and checks it against the Bluebook: reporter abbreviations and spacing, short forms (id./supra), pinpoints, and Table T6 case-name abbreviations, each flagged with the specific rule it violates. With existence verification enabled, every case is matched against CourtListener's database of millions of real opinions, so a non-existent or AI-hallucinated citation is caught before you file — plus a downloadable Westlaw verification checklist for manual sign-off. It tells you honestly which checks ran: a format-correct citation is not the same as a real one.
Can the AI finalize anything on its own?▼
No. The finalization gate is hard-coded: every finding must be approved, rejected, or revised by you before the work product can finalize. There is deliberately no "approve all" button.
What goes on the audit trail?▼
Every adjudication — the decision, the source text, the proposed text, your final text, your note, the playbook rule, and a timestamp — written to an append-only event log. Print the decision packet for the file, or export the consolidated trail.
Can it assemble a probate filing packet?▼
Yes — the Probate Packet Desk is deterministic end to end for Florida probate: enter the matter facts and the router selects the administration path (formal, summary, disposition without administration, or ancillary) while showing the alternatives it rejected and why. Structural risks surface with statute citations and remedies, the creditor-claim clock runs §§ 733.702/733.710, fee presumptions compute under §§ 733.617/733.6171, and the filing set assembles in order from deterministic templates with a per-filing attorney review checklist, print packet, and .docx export. The AI authors none of the operative text, every filing is a draft for the supervising attorney, and the platform does not file.
Is this legal advice? Does it create privilege?▼
No. DraftCounsel is a drafting tool operated by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, not a law firm. Output is AI-generated draft work product for your professional review; you remain solely responsible for the final work product. Communications with the platform are not attorney-client privileged.
How is client material handled?▼
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed server-side for the selected workflow, and protected by authenticated account, tenant, matter, and entitlement checks on every DraftCounsel read or export.
