Everything you need to know about SynthCounsel. Take the 60-second wizard if you want a personalized starting point.
SynthCounsel is a privacy-first legal document preparation tool. We help pro se litigants, solo attorneys, and paralegals generate documents built from our jurisdiction rule set — motions, discovery requests, answers, certificates of service, and more.
No. SynthCounsel is a document preparation platform (scrivener). We do not provide legal advice, represent you in court, or create an attorney-client relationship. We recommend having a licensed attorney review any documents before filing.
We currently support all 50 U.S. states and federal courts. Each jurisdiction has its own rule engine for deadlines, formatting requirements, and procedural rules. Coverage depth varies — Utah, California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Arizona have the most comprehensive rule sets.
Your documents, case details, and conversations are never used for AI training, sold to third parties, or shared with advertisers. We use limited, privacy-first product analytics to understand feature usage and improve reliability — your legal content is never sent to analytics. Your legal matters stay private.
SynthCounsel generates motions (dismiss, summary judgment, compel, protective order, strike, default judgment, amend, extension of time), answers to complaints with affirmative defenses, discovery requests (interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission), certificates of service, and counterclaims.
Yes. Documents are formatted according to your jurisdiction's rules of civil procedure — margins, fonts, caption format, word count certification, and required headers. You select your state and court, and SynthCounsel applies the right formatting.
Our Rule 6 deadline engine computes filing deadlines based on your jurisdiction's civil procedure rules. It accounts for service method extensions, weekends, court holidays, and applies a conservative 3-business-day safety buffer. Every result shows the rule it came from and how the date was derived, so you can check the math. Deadline calculations are informational estimates — always confirm the date with the court clerk before you rely on it.
Upload a letter from a debt collector and our scanner checks it against FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) and FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) requirements. It flags passages that may not meet a requirement and cites the statute section each check comes from, so you can read the provision yourself. What to do about anything it flags is your decision.
Yes. The AI assistant ("Counsel") can look up rules, explain legal concepts in plain English, and cite specific statutes. It provides verbatim legal text with citations. It does not give legal advice or recommend which arguments to make — those decisions are yours.
Yes. The free tier includes unlimited cases, the deadline calculator, and AI assistant chat — no credit card required. Generating formatted documents requires a Case Pass, a per-document purchase, or Pro.
Pro ($39/month, or $349/year) gives you unlimited cases, 200 generated documents per month, all document templates, priority deadline alerts, document version history, and email support.
Yes. If you don't need a subscription, you can pay $14.99 per document with no monthly commitment.
Yes, and there is no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Cancel anytime from Billing Settings — no phone call and no email to support. The cancellation page asks why you are leaving. Cancelling stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. You can keep using the free tier, and your existing cases and documents stay accessible.
That's exactly who we built this for. SynthCounsel formats your documents so the court takes them seriously — proper captions, correct margins, rule-compliant formatting, and accurate deadlines. You focus on your arguments; we handle the formatting.
Start by creating a case with your court details, then use the Answer to Complaint generator. It lists the affirmative defenses it can format, leaves the choice of which to assert to you, and formats your response to your jurisdiction's rules. You can also use the violation scanner on any collector correspondence.
We always recommend consulting with a licensed attorney when possible. SynthCounsel handles document formatting and deadline calculation — the procedural side. An attorney can evaluate the merits of your case and advise on strategy. Many legal aid organizations offer free consultations.
