The New Jersey divorce platform

A divorce lawyer you can afford.

Built by someone who fired three divorce lawyers — and built the platform they wished existed.

The platform

Your case, in front of your eyes

Every document, deadline, and strategy note lives in a case file you own — not in a drawer at a law office. You see where your case stands, what happens next, and what it costs. Nothing is filed, sent, or agreed without you.

And if you ever switch attorneys, your new one is up to speed in an hour — not a $3,000 re-onboarding.

The problem

Hiring a divorce lawyer shouldn't take all your savings — or blind trust.

If this is your first time hiring a lawyer, you're probably worried about two things: can I afford this, and can I trust this person with my life? Those are the right questions. Here's what usually goes wrong with traditional firms — and what we built to prevent it.

01

The $500-an-hour wall

Real NJ divorce firms want a $10,000+ retainer just to start, then bill $450 to $950 an hour with no ceiling. A contested case can run for years — and total bills past $100,000 are more common than anyone admits. Most people simply can't pay that, so they face the hardest fight of their life alone.

02

Bills you can't verify

Six-minute increments, vague line items, hours you have no way to check. The meter runs whether or not your case moves forward.

03

Run out of money, run out of lawyer

Open-ended retainers mean nobody knows the total cost — until the money's gone and your attorney drops you mid-case.

04

Decisions made without you

Court conferences and hallway conversations between the lawyers and the judge often happen while you sit outside — and your future gets shaped in rooms you're not in.

The rules we live by

Four promises. No exceptions.

Every attorney on this platform signs up to these rules before they can take a single case.

01

No hourly billing — ever

Every price is flat and fixed before work starts. There are no hours to inflate, no six-minute increments, no surprise line items. If it isn't priced up front, it doesn't happen.

02

Conflict-checked for your case

Before taking your case, your attorney certifies in writing that they have no ties to the other side's lawyer that could work against you — and the certification is renewed the moment your judge is assigned. Any connection at all is disclosed to you first, so you decide.

03

Never dropped mid-case

Pause between stages any time, for any reason. Your case file, timeline, and strategy stay intact and yours. Running low on money stops the spending — never the relationship.

04

Nothing happens without you

You attend every court conference. Your attorney doesn't communicate with the judge outside your presence — except where court rules require or permit it (such as emergency applications), and then you're informed immediately, in writing. You're copied on everything sent to the court and the other side.
