Built for Criminal Defense Attorneys

MaxLaw for Criminal Defense Attorneys

Case timelines, discovery tracking, motion drafting, and plea analysis — Max handles the paperwork while you handle the courtroom.

The Criminal Defense Challenge

Criminal defense moves fast and the stakes are the highest in law. You're managing discovery dumps from prosecutors, drafting suppression motions, preparing for preliminary hearings, negotiating plea deals, and keeping clients informed — often across dozens of active cases simultaneously. A missed filing deadline or overlooked piece of discovery can mean the difference between freedom and incarceration. MaxLaw gives you an AI associate who never misses a deadline and can process discovery faster than any paralegal.
