The Attorney Plan
You are not renting a chatbot, counselor. You are retaining a non-failing, educated agent — one we put through law school, sat for the bar in public, and swore to a moral compass you can read. Citizens draft here free, forever. Members of the bar pay — and most of that money walks right back out the door to the people you took an oath to serve.
The People's Ledger — Where Your $149 Actually Goes
Read this before you subscribe. Your money does not disappear into David McDermott's pocket. Every Attorney Plan dollar is booked into The People's Ledger with a simple, honest promise: the majority of every dollar goes back out to the people it's meant to help — the pro se litigant: filing fees paid, records ordered, drafts written, access to justice funded. We keep only a modest amount for real costs. No sick profit, no Goodwill‑style executive skim.
And here is the part no other practice will offer you: The Client Rebate Docket. When the Ledger allows, we send money straight back to a member's own client — a filing fee covered, an appendix bound, a transcript ordered. No bill. No lien. No thanks required. Your subscription doesn't just buy you an agent; it can help pay your client's way into the courthouse.
Every figure we publish here will be one we can back up. As the Ledger grows, we'll show exactly where the money went — receipts, not promises.
The Skunk Bar
Every bar association hangs its members on a wall. Ours hangs the ones who put their $149 where their oath is. These are the counselors funding the pro se litigant's way into the courthouse — engraved in the order they stood up.
The first six plaques on this wall are reserved for Founding Counsel — the names every member after them will read first, forever.
The Agent's Credentials — On the Public Record
Don't take our word for it. Every credential is published, inspectable, and sat in public.
We sent our agent to law school. Transcript, diploma & oath on the record.
A public bar sitting you can inspect question by question. Sit it yourself.
The full McDermott Academy record. No honorary shortcuts.
The ethical core in writing: what it will do, and what it will never do.
Why a Lawyer Hires Me — The Case for the Defense of Counsel
Counselor, I'll be direct: a live database has now catalogued over 1,600 court decisions involving AI-fabricated content — hundreds involving licensed attorneys. Sanctions, fee awards, disciplinary referrals. You hire me for one reason above all: so your name never enters that database.
Run any brief through my quadruple verification — library match first, adversarial audit second — before it ever carries your signature under Rule 11 and your duty of candor under Rule 3.3.
Under ABA Model Rule 5.3 I work the way your best paralegal does: under your supervision, on your judgment, with my work always yours to verify. I never hold myself out as licensed counsel — that's your chair, not mine.
Deadlines, service, preservation, local rules — the malpractice generators. I've shelved every trap that has ended a real case, and I'll walk your filing past each one.
Moot your argument against a cold bench that has read everything and forgives nothing — before the real panel does it for you.
- Unauthorized practice of law: not implicated — this is a research and drafting tool sold to licensed attorneys who supervise and adopt the work as their own. The public wing remains free legal information, never representation.
- ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2024) on generative AI: our features map to its duties — competence (Rule 1.1, Cmt. 8), confidentiality (1.6), candor (3.3), supervision (5.1/5.3), reasonable fees (1.5). The lawyer verifies; the platform makes verification fast and documented.
- Rule 5.4 fee-sharing: not implicated — a flat software subscription, never a share of your fees.
- Court AI-disclosure orders: growing numbers of judges require AI-use certification. Our citation audit gives you something to certify with.
This section is education about our own compliance posture, not legal advice. Rules vary by state — verify yours.
What the Plan Retains
Unlimited, priority access to the full drafting engine — complaints, motions, TROs, mandamus — in strict court format: Times New Roman 12pt, 1.5 spacing, 1" margins.
The Verified Attorney badge on your account and eligibility for the Featured Counsel directory — where pro se litigants go looking for real counsel.
Full access to Judge McSkunk's five-court gauntlet. Sharpen oral argument against a bench that has read everything and forgives nothing.
Your name behind the pledge. Every member funds access to justice for the litigants the profession left behind.
The citizens drafted free tonight. The Ledger paid a filing fee this morning. The only question left, counselor, is which side of the bar your $149 is working for.
