One workspace for your entire legal matter
Keep every document, message, and event in one secure place — and bring your lawyer in when you need to. Attorly turns scattered paperwork into a coherent, shareable case.
Start your case workspaceNot legal advice: This page explains, in plain language, how a legal document typically works. It is general information — not legal advice about your specific situation. If the stakes are meaningful, or a deadline is close, speak with a licensed lawyer before relying on anything you read here.

Sample files
This is a mini version. In the app you collect documents, emails, and photos in the same workspace — and share it with your lawyer whenever you want.
Timeline
When a legal matter spans months, structure is the work
A real legal matter is rarely one document. It is a year of emails, a stack of contracts, three difficult conversations with the other side, two meetings with your lawyer, and a deadline you wrote on a napkin. Cases rarely lose on the law. They lose because the paperwork fell apart somewhere along the way.
Attorly gives you a single, encrypted workspace for the entire matter. Every document, message, decision, and date lives in one place. You can hand the whole thing to a new lawyer in five minutes — or to a court, if it ever comes to that — and nothing is missing.
It is not a replacement for your lawyer. It is the room where you and your lawyer work together — the same files, the same timeline, the same audit trail of who saw what, when. Lawyers spend less time chasing context, and you spend less money paying them to chase it.
How it works
Get clarity on any legal document in three steps
Upload your document
Drag in a PDF, Word file, or image scan. Any format, any language.
Attorly analyzes it
Multiple AI models review your document independently — flagging risks, extracting deadlines, and identifying obligations and key terms. Independent review means nothing gets missed.
Know exactly what to do
More than a summary — Attorly gives you a clear action plan: what matters, what to do about it, and in what order. Handle it yourself or bring a lawyer in fully prepared.
What lives in your case workspace
Everything related to the matter, in one encrypted place.
A complete document archive
Every PDF, image, and email export — searchable by content, not just by filename, with full version history.
A chronological timeline
Every event with the source document attached. Skim the case in a minute or read it in detail.
Secure messaging with your lawyer
Replace fragmented email threads with one conversation tied to the case. Every message is encrypted at rest.
Role-based sharing
Invite a lawyer, an accountant, a family member, or an advocate — each with the access level you choose, revocable in one click.
AI analysis on demand
Ask plain-language questions about your own files: 'when did I send the demand letter?', 'what does clause 7 actually require?'
Drafts and document generation
Generate response letters, demand letters, complaint drafts, and agreements from the documents already in the case.
Export at any time
Download the entire case — files, timeline, messages — as a single archive. The data is yours, and it leaves with you.
How to set up your case in Attorly
Most people have a working case workspace in under an hour.
- 1
Create the case and name it
Start with the matter itself — a tenancy dispute, a divorce, an HR complaint, an insurance claim. The case is the container; everything else hangs off it.
- 2
Upload everything you already have
Contracts, letters, screenshots, photos, email exports — drag them in. Attorly runs OCR on PDFs and images so the entire archive becomes searchable by content, not just by filename.
- 3
Build the timeline as events happen
Log every meeting, message, payment, and missed deadline as a timeline event, and attach the relevant document to each one. The timeline becomes the story of the case in one scroll.
- 4
Invite your lawyer or support person
Share the case with your lawyer, your accountant, a family member, or an advocate helping you. You choose the access level for each person, and you can revoke it any time.
- 5
Use the workspace as your single source of truth
When something arrives — a letter, a settlement offer, a court date — log it in the case the same day. The next time you or your lawyer need to know what happened, the answer is one search away.
