AI solutions for legal professionals · For solos & small firms · Not a law firm
Your Microsoft 365 subscription already includes e-discovery. Your Acrobat license already does redactions properly. Most small firms pay for capability nobody showed them how to use, then get quoted per gigabyte for a platform on top of it. I work differently: a small monthly fee for access to thirty years of this — discovery, AI strategy, and someone to ask before you sign — plus a flat quote when a matter needs real work. Never a meter.
End to end, or the one piece your case is stuck on. Most engagements start as the second kind, in a platform somebody else chose.
A written inventory of what you already license, what it can actually do, and whether this matter justifies a hosted platform at all. For a lot of small-firm cases the honest answer is no, and I would rather tell you that than sell you a database.
Where AI genuinely earns its place in your workflow, where it exposes you, and what your confidentiality obligations mean for the tools your staff are already pasting client material into. Practical policy, sensible tooling, and honest limits — not a pitch for a legal AI subscription.
Workspace design, coding panels, views, batching and permissions built for how your team actually reviews — not the vendor's default template. Deep in Relativity and RelOne, and equally at home in DISCO, Logikcull, Concordance, iPro and Summation.
Keyword strategy tested against the real data, hit reports, de-duplication and threading. You get numbers you can put in a proportionality argument under Rule 26(b)(1) — which is how a small firm keeps a discovery demand from swallowing the case.
Batching, reviewer instructions, QC sampling, and analytics or AI-assisted workflows applied only where they genuinely take cost out. Documented as we go, so the methodology can be explained if it is ever questioned.
Load files that import cleanly on the other side the first time. Redactions applied consistently, privilege logs generated from the coding rather than retyped, and a QC pass before anything is served.
Defensible collection and preservation with documented chain of custody, using X1, PageVault, EnCase and FTK — including web and social capture, and multimedia evidence handling.
Exhibit databases, deposition designations, demonstratives and TrialDirector presentation, with someone running the screen in the courtroom so you can watch the witness instead of the laptop.
Founder, DidjaLaw
Thirty years of litigation technology and e-discovery, supporting complex matters from case inception through trial — for major firms, corporate legal departments, and the vendors serving both. Long enough to have migrated data out of platforms that no longer exist, and to be unsentimental about the ones that do.
I built DidjaLaw for small firms specifically. Large firms have IT departments that are, understandably, protective of their own territory. Small firms are mostly winging it — capable attorneys making discovery decisions with no agnostic person in the room, surrounded by vendors whose next quote depends on the answer being yes. That gap is bad for the attorneys and worse for their clients, and it is the one I am useful in.
Physics degree, which matters here mostly because this job is really about whether your method holds up when somebody tests it. Based in Los Angeles, working with firms anywhere.
Litigation support and litigation technology roles at firms across Los Angeles and Orange County, and earlier at Reed Smith. I know what your associates will actually do at 11pm, because I have built around it.
Litigation technology project management at General Motors, plus CTO and compliance work building enterprise data governance. I know why in-house counsel asks the questions they ask about cost and custody.
Senior e-discovery project management at Merrill Corporation. I know exactly how a per-gigabyte quote gets built, which is why the ones I give you look different.
I don't resell software and I take no vendor margin, so I have no reason to move your data or add to your stack. If the matter is sitting in Summation because prior counsel put it there, we work in Summation. If migrating genuinely saves money, I will show you the arithmetic — and if it doesn't, I will tell you that instead.

The free call
Thirty minutes, no subscription, no obligation. We look at what is in front of you and I tell you what it actually needs — including when the answer is that you don't need me at all.
What counts as a quick question
Anything I can answer in roughly fifteen minutes: is this redaction safe to produce, does our license already do this, is this quote reasonable, what does that ESI term commit us to. Bigger than that and it becomes a working session, quoted first — I will tell you when we cross the line rather than quietly billing you for it.
Not ready to subscribe
One-off working sessions are available hourly, no minimum and no engagement letter. Most firms start here, with one specific problem, and subscribe afterward because the next question always arrives.
What is never on the invoice
Per-gigabyte charges, ingestion fees, export fees, seat minimums, annual lock-ins, or a markup on someone else's software. If a platform is genuinely needed you buy it directly, at your price, in your name.
If the monthly number is still out of reach for where the practice is right now, say so on the form. A firm that cannot afford discovery help is exactly the firm whose clients get hurt by not having it, and that is worth a conversation.
Three steps, in order. Nothing is billed until you approve a scope in writing.
Matter type, rough custodian count, where the data lives, and the date that worries you. Two minutes on the form below.
Free. You leave with a cost range, a sequence of work, and the issues worth raising with opposing counsel before they get expensive.
Deliverables, timeline and price in writing. You approve it, and I start under counsel's direction.
Free, no obligation, answered within one business day. Solo practitioners and two-person firms are the point of this, not an exception to it — if the matter is small, say so.
