Criminal Defense Illinois

Criminal Defense AI legal workspace for Illinois 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 Illinois, Draftiro layers the local detail on top — eFileIL filing conventions, the applicable statute of limitations, and Illinois state-court day-counting — so the workflow fits how you actually file.

Common questions

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

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 Illinois 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 Illinois?

In Illinois it is generally 2 years for most personal-injury claims (735 ILCS 5/13-202) — 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 735 ILCS 5/13-202 for your facts.

Does Draftiro train AI on my Illinois 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.
