Legal Research for Solo Attorneys Without the Enterprise Contract
As a solo, you carry every role at once and cannot justify a Westlaw seat that costs more than your rent. Cases gives you plain-English case search, on-point precedents, and citations you can verify, at a price built for one attorney.
How courts have ruled
Sample results, illustrative only. Informational research, not legal advice. Verify every citation.
In short
Legal research for solo attorneys means finding the right case quickly and affordably without the enterprise research suite a solo cannot justify. Cases is legal research for solo attorneys built around a plain-English question: describe the issue and it returns on-point U.S. federal and state precedents as headnote cards, each with a summary, the holding, and a real citation. There is no boolean syntax to build, no sales call, and no multi-year contract, so a solo pays a transparent monthly price that starts at 29 dollars rather than the 150 to 700 dollars per seat the incumbents charge. You still read and verify each case; Cases just gets you to the on-point precedent in minutes so more of your day goes to clients and less to searching. Cases is informational research, not legal advice, and it shows you the citation so you confirm each case in the official reporter before you rely on it. The attorney stays the gatekeeper.
Why it fits
Solo attorneys who need fast, affordable case research and citations they can verify, without an enterprise seat or a sales call.
Priced for one attorney
Transparent self-serve pricing that starts at 29 dollars per month, not the 150 to 700 dollars per seat of Westlaw, Lexis, or Bloomberg. No quote, no contract.
Answers in plain English
Ask the way you would describe the issue to opposing counsel. No boolean, no terms and connectors, just the on-point precedents with the holding on the card.
Citations you verify
Every result carries a real citation you confirm in the official reporter, so you cite with confidence. Informational research, not legal advice.
