What this actually is
Legal information for criminal defendants isn't a service.
It's four things.
01
Your charge
In plain language. Statute + elements + maximum exposure — what the prosecutor has to prove.
02
Your next step
The next court date. The next motion deadline. The next thing that can be filed before it's too late.
03
Your judge
How this judge has ruled on motions like yours. Sentencing patterns. Pulled from the public record.
04
Comparable cases
Defendants charged the same way you were. What happened to them. Pulled from CourtListener.
We deliver all four. You keep every right to take any of it to an attorney.
What you're paying for
Everything we deliver is public.
The tier price buys you the time you'd spend pulling and reading it yourself.
Court opinions on CourtListener. Sentencing tables from the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Judge-sentencing data from JUSTFAIR. Statutes on every state legislature's public site. The reading is the work we charge for.
Case Decoder
$197
Your charge document, every cited statute, the procedural calendar — all of it is public. We read it in 48 hours and hand you 15 questions calibrated for your charge.
Intelligence Brief
$997
Twelve hours of cross-corpus pulls from CourtListener, USSC, and JUSTFAIR — your charge, your district, your judge. You could do it. We already did.
Crisis window
Your time
The data is public. The reading isn't. Your court date is close. We can hand you the read while there's still time to act on it.
The full version
Every citation in your report comes from public records — court opinions, sentencing statistics, official statutes. You could read them all yourself. The $997 Case Intelligence Brief is the convenience tax — we already read them, we already organized the comparables, we already mapped the prosecutor patterns. Your time is your time.
Sources: CourtListener opinion bulk, USSC sentencing tables, JUSTFAIR judge-sentencing data, official state statutes. Every citation in your report is a clickable link to the public record.
You can pull every source we cite. We just already did. Your attorney drives the strategy — we hand you a pre-organized read of the public record so the meeting is shorter.
How the research happens
Four steps. Every source is public. Every citation is a clickable link.
We use the same public legal databases your attorney can access. Our research team runs against them at scale, so you don't have to read 100,000 opinions yourself.
01
We pull the public record for your charge.
Court opinions from CourtListener. Statute text from the state legislature. Sentencing tables from the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Judge-level data from JUSTFAIR.
Sources cited in this step
02
We filter to your charge, your district, your judge.
Most defendants face a charge in one district, in front of one judge. We narrow the corpus to what actually applies to your fact pattern.
03
We surface the patterns and the questions.
Sentencing patterns. Motion-ruling tendencies. The five to fifteen questions calibrated to your case — drawn from the comparable opinions we pulled in step 1.
04
We hand you a cited report.
Every claim links back to the public record. Your attorney can verify the whole report in under five minutes. You walk in knowing what to ask.
Every citation in your report links back to the public record. You or your attorney can verify the whole thing in five minutes.

What we actually found in a real case
Real pages from real PCSO discovery. Real findings the attorney never raised.
The suspect’s phone and the CI’s phone are the same number. Same detective. Same report. Same page.
DUAL ATTRIBUTION — Same phone number (912) 380-2720 listed for both the suspect and the confidential informant in the same report
The detective weighed 93.9 grams at the scene. The lab received and tested 25.59 grams. 68.3 grams vanished between the scene and the lab.
68.3g UNACCOUNTED — Scene: 93.9g. Lab: 25.59g. Where is the rest?
The detective logged “MDMA (Ecstasy)” at the scene. The lab’s chemical analysis found methamphetamine. The charge references one substance. The evidence contains another.
SUBSTANCE MISMATCH — Police called it MDMA. Lab found methamphetamine. Different drug, different statute, different charge.
Count 8 charges amphetamine trafficking under FS 893.135(1)(f)(1). The lab found MDMA/MDA — a different controlled substance under FS 893.135(1)(k). The charge is for a substance the lab says isn’t there.
FATAL VARIANCE — Items 137-139 identified as “Adderall” (amphetamine) by police. Lab found MDMA and MDA. Charged under wrong statute.
He found these in his own case. We find them in yours.
Found by the researcher who's still a defendant
We stay masked because our files aren't closed —
and that's exactly why we can read yours.
Deadlines are running right now, and your attorney may not have calendared them. Suppression motions: typically 30 days from arraignment. DMV hearing (DUI): 7-10 days from arrest. Indictment response (federal): typically 30 days. Brady requests: earlier = more leverage. Once these windows close, they do not reopen.
You searched for this at 2am. So did we.
People like us don't just trust the system. People like us ask questions until we get answers.
“My lawyer won’t return my calls. My court date is Monday.”
Three voicemails. Two emails. Nothing. Your next hearing is in days and you have no idea what’s happening with your own case. The lucky ones get five minutes of their attorney’s time.
“Nobody explained anything to me.”
They handed you a stack of discovery and said “review this.” Review what? Police reports, lab results, witness statements — written in a language designed to confuse you.
“My lawyer just wants me to plead guilty.”
No motions filed. No investigation. No fight. Just “take the deal” on repeat. You don’t even know if it’s a good deal because nobody will explain what the alternative looks like.
“I paid $10K and he did nothing.”
You scraped that retainer together — borrowed from family, drained savings. Now you can’t even get a status update on your own case. That’s not frustrating. That’s money spent on silence.
“I’m not the one facing charges — but I’m the one doing all the research.”
Your husband, your son, your brother is facing charges. His attorney won’t return YOUR calls either. Nobody will explain what’s happening. You’re the one up at 2am trying to understand what “discovery” even means. We built this for you too.
“I didn't even know my attorney was supposed to file motions. The questions alone changed everything.”
Marcus T.
Drug Possession · Attorney filed new suppression motion
“My lawyer hadn't even looked at the discovery. I walked in with 15 questions and suddenly he was actually working.”
Sarah K.
DUI · Attorney re-opened discovery review
“I’m not the one charged — my husband is. But I’m the one doing all the research at 3am. The playbook gave me the language to actually talk to his attorney. She called back the same day.”
Maria G.
Family member — Drug Trafficking, Florida · Attorney engagement transformed
“For $197 I got more useful information than from the $15,000 I paid my attorney. That's not an exaggeration.”

Names changed. Ours included.That's the whole point. Based on real defendant experiences; jurisdictions, timelines, and specific findings vary by case.
Who we are · Why we stay masked
We stay masked because our files aren't closed — and that's exactly why we can read yours.
We're researchers, not lawyers. Some of our founders have active cases right now: trial prep, discovery fights, motion deadlines. Using our names would hand the same legal system that already has files on us more ammunition.
Every courtroom is a closed ecosystem. The judge, the prosecutor, and your defense attorney know each other by face. They work together on the next case too. Your attorney doesn't want to show up with “the INAA questions.” The prosecutor doesn't want their witnesses cross-examined using our framework. So we stay anonymous. We give you the questions they can't trace back to anyone they can lean on.
— Researchers. Defendants, still fighting.
How it works
Three steps. One report. Questions your attorney will have to answer on the record.
01
Submit your charges
Your charges, your case stage, what your attorney has or hasn’t done. That’s everything we need. Takes about 10 minutes.
02
We read what they didn't
40+ methodologiesYour case run through 40+ elite defense methodologies. Chain of custody. Informant credibility. Constitutional frameworks. Every angle elite defense attorneys cover — applied to your exact charges.
03
Change the power dynamic
15 calibrated questionsA custom report with case-specific questions formatted for your attorney meeting. Written, specific questions tend to get different responses than open-ended ones — and they become part of the record of what you asked.
What We Look For in Your Case
Every question we generate comes from documented defense methodologies from attorneys involved in landmark exonerations and acquittals.
Where did the evidence actually go?
We trace every piece of evidence from the scene to the courtroom. Weight discrepancies, missing items, broken chain of custody — if something vanished between the patrol car and the lab, we find it.
Who is the informant — and what were they promised?
Confidential informants have motives. We scrutinize their history, their handler relationship, and what they were offered in exchange for testimony.
What did the detective miss — or skip?
Investigations have patterns. When steps are skipped, corners cut, or reports contradict each other, those gaps become your questions.
What questions should break the witness’s story?
Cross-examination isn’t random. We design questions based on documented techniques that expose inconsistencies and procedural failures.
Does the lab report match what the police logged?
Substance type, weight, testing protocols. If the field test says one thing and the lab says another, that’s a question your attorney needs to ask.
Were your rights violated during the investigation?
Fourth Amendment search issues, Miranda violations, — constitutional hooks that can suppress evidence or reverse convictions.Brady obligations

Common Questions
Absolutely. You have a constitutional right to understand your own case. INAA provides legal research and questions, documented defense methodologies applied to your specific charges. We do not provide legal advice. Your attorney provides legal advice. We provide the information, so you know what they know.
Find It or It's Free. For the Case Decoder and Intelligence Brief: if we don't deliver at least 15 case-specific questions your attorney hasn't raised, full refund, no forms, no arguments. For the X-Ray and above (where we read your actual discovery): if we don't identify at least one gap your attorney hasn't raised, full refund. Miss the delivery deadline on any tier? Full refund AND you keep the report. Every dollar spent is credited toward the next tier. Credits valid for 12 months.
The right attorneys welcome informed clients. The questions give you a way to find out which one you have. Defendants who come to meetings with specific, documented questions get more attorney time, more motions filed, and more thorough defense work. The questions don’t create conflict, they create accountability.
Under ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, an attorney’s ability to withdraw is constrained to specific grounds listed in Rule 1.16 — asking informed questions is not among them. Your questions are documented — they become part of the record of your defense. (General information only; not legal advice. ABA rules are a model — the actual rules that apply to your case come from your state bar, and the state bar’s website publishes them.)
That's fine, our Case Decoder ($197) and Case Intelligence Brief ($997) don't require discovery. We can analyze your charges, research your jurisdiction, and generate targeted questions with just your case information. When you get discovery, upgrade to The X-Ray with full credit.
Every report is built from the same elite-attorney methodology whether it arrives in 48 hours or 14 days. We don't lead with speed because we don't optimize for it — we optimize for finding the thing your attorney missed. Case Decoder: 48 hours. Case Intelligence Brief: 72 hours. The X-Ray: 10 business days.
That’s the exact situation we built this for. You’ve already spent $10,000 or more. INAA costs $197 — less than one hour of your attorney’s billing rate. The guarantee means if we don’t deliver at least 15 case-specific questions your attorney hasn’t raised, you pay nothing. Specific, written questions create a documented record of what you asked your attorney.
It's almost never too late. Most of what we find, discovery gaps, officer inconsistencies, missed motions, can be raised at any stage before sentencing. Even at the plea stage, strong questions give your attorney leverage to negotiate better terms. We've found critical issues in cases that were months into the process.
The DUI Defense Playbook ($127) is an instant-download PDF with 26 questions that change how your next attorney meeting goes, a breathalyzer calibration checklist, a case stage roadmap, 12 red flags, and a Case Progress Scorecard. No intake form, no wait. Your $127 is fully credited toward the Case Decoder within 30 days.
100% of what you paid is credited toward the next tier. Buy the Case Decoder for $197, then upgrade to the Case Intelligence Brief for just $800. No money wasted. Credits are valid for 12 months.
You're up at 2am because nobody will explain your case.
You've called. You've emailed. You've waited. Now stop waiting. Start knowing.
Motions expire. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. But the defendant who walks in with the right questions? Their attorney starts filing motions that week.
The defendant who walks in prepared changes the conversation.
