How we research, check and correct.

How PlaintiffStack researches, sources, checks and corrects its comparisons, guides, calculators and glossary, and where its own interest lies.

PlaintiffStack sells practice software to plaintiff firms. We also publish a free library: comparisons with other software, alternatives pages, calculators, guides to California practice, and a glossary. This page says how that library is made, so you can judge how far to trust it.

Who writes it

The library is written by the PlaintiffStack team. We use AI tools to help research and draft. That's why every page carries its sources: a reader can check any claim against the page it came from, whoever or whatever wrote the sentence.

What every claim carries

  • The law. Each rule cites its statute, regulation, court rule or agency page, primary sources first. Figures that change (benefit rates, penalty amounts, deadlines) carry the period they apply to.
  • Other companies. Each fact about another company cites where it came from: the company's own site, a press release, a court docket or a named publication. Prices that a company doesn't publish are labelled as third-party estimates, or left as "not public". We don't guess.
  • Ourselves. What a page says about PlaintiffStack follows the same rules as our pricing, security and FAQ pages, including what the product doesn't do yet: it reads searchable PDFs, Word and text files but not scans, it follows California rules, and our SOC 2 Type II report is in progress.

Comparisons and our own interest

We are not a neutral party: we sell one of the products being compared, and every comparison and roundup says so. To keep them useful anyway:

  • Every comparison says when the other product is the better choice, and why.
  • Roundups are organised by what a firm needs, not with our product first.
  • We describe lawsuits and press reports as what they are (allegations, reports) and note when a company's response couldn't be found.
  • Each page shows the date its facts were last checked. Prices and features change, so check a vendor's current terms before you rely on them.

The free tools

The calculators run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else, and we don't store it. Each one says what it computes, the rule and figures behind it, and what it leaves out. They give general information about the rules, not legal advice on a case.

Corrections

If something is wrong or out of date, email privacy@plaintiffstack.com with the page and the source that shows it. When we correct a page, its date changes.

Nothing in the library is legal advice, and reading it doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Every case turns on its facts and on the law in force when it's decided.
