Criminal Defense California

Criminal Defense AI legal workspace for California attorneys

Criminal defense lives on discovery review, motion drafting, and constitutional argument. Draftiro reviews discovery uploads, drafts suppression motions with cited authority, and keeps every court date court-day-math correct. For criminal defense attorneys practicing in California, Draftiro layers the local detail on top — Many California superior courts use electronic filing filing conventions, the applicable statute of limitations, and California state-court day-counting — so the workflow fits how you actually file.

Deadlines & court-day math

Common questions

Is Draftiro a good fit for a criminal defense solo in California?

Yes. Draftiro is built for solo and small-firm practice — motion to suppress drafting, discovery review, citation validation against CourtListener, and conflict checks at intake — starting free with no card and paid tiers from $29/mo. Draftiro models court-day counting for both federal deadlines (FRCP 6) and California state-court rules, and shows the cited rule on the deadline view so a paralegal or co-counsel can verify the math.

What is the personal-injury statute of limitations in California?

In California it is generally 2 years for most personal-injury claims (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1) — verify tolling and discovery-rule exceptions against the statute. Draftiro can calendar the deadline from the date of loss, but you should confirm the exact limitations period and any tolling against Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1 for your facts.

Does Draftiro train AI on my California client data?

No. Draftiro runs on Google Gemini's paid enterprise API tier, which is contractually prohibited from training on your inputs — so your data never trains AI models.
