Criminal Defense District of Columbia

Criminal Defense AI legal workspace for District of Columbia 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 District of Columbia, Draftiro layers the local detail on top — the applicable statute of limitations, and federal deadline math with a state-rule check — so the workflow fits how you actually file.

What’s different in District of Columbia

Personal-injury statute of limitations
3 years for most personal-injury claims (D.C. Code § 12-301) — verify tolling and discovery-rule exceptions against the statute.
Court-day math
Federal (FRCP 6); confirm state rule by hand
State AI-use guidance
The District of Columbia Bar issued Ethics Opinion 388 on generative AI use by lawyers (2024).

Deadlines & court-day math

Draftiro computes federal court-day deadlines under FRCP 6 with the current judicial-holiday set. District of Columbia state-court day-counting is not yet modelled in-product, so Draftiro shows the federal calculation and prompts you to confirm the applicable District of Columbia rule by hand. We don't claim state-specific deadline math we haven't built.

Common questions

Is Draftiro a good fit for a criminal defense solo in District of Columbia?

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 computes federal court-day deadlines under FRCP 6 with the current judicial-holiday set. District of Columbia state-court day-counting is not yet modelled in-product, so Draftiro shows the federal calculation and prompts you to confirm the applicable District of Columbia rule by hand.

What is the personal-injury statute of limitations in District of Columbia?

In District of Columbia it is generally 3 years for most personal-injury claims (D.C. Code § 12-301) — 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 D.C. Code § 12-301 for your facts.

Does Draftiro train AI on my District of Columbia 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.
