Solo Practitioner Scores Big Win Thanks To AI Assistant In Pro Se Case - Drowning In Discovery Documents

For solo practitioners taking on complex litigation, managing discovery can be an overwhelming task. Larger law firms have armies of paralegals and junior associates to plow through boxes of documents, but solos must shoulder the burden alone. The sheer volume of discovery in big cases is staggering - some produce millions of pages of records, emails, reports, and more.

"When I took on a products liability case against a major manufacturer, I was flooded with discovery documents and felt like I was drowning," explains John Smith, a personal injury attorney practicing solo in Miami. "There were tens of thousands of pages of internal memos, test reports, email chains - it would've taken me weeks working around the clock just to get through it all."

Discovery documents must be closely reviewed to build a winning case, but most solo lawyers simply lack the manpower and hours in the day. Important evidence can be overlooked if documents aren't thoroughly examined and key pieces may only reveal themselves upon deep inspection.

"I had a discrimination case with over 50,000 documents in discovery," says employment attorney Sarah Davis. "Reading through endless emails and HR records searching for smoking gun evidence was beyond my capabilities as a solo. I worried I'd miss something that would sink my whole case."

All work solo attorneys outsource comes at significant expense. Hiring contract lawyers and paralegals to review discovery takes time and cuts deeply into case profits. And mistakes made during review can come back to haunt you in court.

"I paid a review team to analyze discovery documents in a malpractice suit," recalls med-mal attorney Tim Jones. "But they missed a doctor's handwritten notes that refuted our core claims. It was buried in thousands of pages and we got burned when the other side uncovered it."
