How it works

Three steps. No law degree. Real results.

Step 1

Describe what went wrong

Type your situation in plain English — no legal jargon, no law degree required. Write it exactly how you'd explain it to a friend.

Step 2

Get matched to real court cases

CaseMatchAI searches thousands of real court decisions and finds the ones where judges decided similar situations — including cases that helped overturn convictions.

Step 3

Bring findings to an attorney

Take the cases you found to a post-conviction attorney, innocence organization, or legal aid clinic. You've done the research. They do the filing.

What families research

What families using CaseMatchAI have found

These are the types of issues families have surfaced through AI-assisted research — brought to attorneys who then took action.

Brady violations

Families identified cases where prosecutors withheld evidence similar to their loved one's situation — establishing a legal framework for post-conviction relief.

Sentence reduction eligibility

Families discovered First Step Act earned time credits and compassionate release precedents their loved one's attorney hadn't raised.

Ineffective assistance patterns

Cases showing attorneys failed to investigate alibi witnesses, challenge forensic evidence, or file critical motions — grounds for post-conviction appeals.

Wrongful conviction precedents

Families surfaced exoneration cases with strikingly similar facts — false confessions, eyewitness misidentification, jailhouse informants — to support innocence claims.

Habeas corpus grounds

Constitutional violations — illegal searches, improper jury instructions, due process issues — that federal courts have used to grant relief in comparable cases.

New evidence case law

Cases showing how courts have handled newly discovered evidence, recanted witness testimony, and updated forensic standards in post-conviction proceedings.
