What we actually found in a real case
Real pages from real PCSO discovery. Real findings the attorney never raised.
He found these in his own case. We find them in yours.
Found by the researcher who's still a defendant
We stay masked because our files aren't closed —
and that's exactly why we can read yours.
Deadlines are running right now, and your attorney may not have calendared them. Suppression motions: typically 30 days from arraignment. DMV hearing (DUI): 7-10 days from arrest. Indictment response (federal): typically 30 days. Brady requests: earlier = more leverage. Once these windows close, they do not reopen.
You searched for this at 2am. So did we.
People like us don't just trust the system. People like us ask questions until we get answers.
“My lawyer won’t return my calls. My court date is Monday.”
Three voicemails. Two emails. Nothing. Your next hearing is in days and you have no idea what’s happening with your own case. The lucky ones get five minutes of their attorney’s time.
“Nobody explained anything to me.”
They handed you a stack of discovery and said “review this.” Review what? Police reports, lab results, witness statements — written in a language designed to confuse you.
“My lawyer just wants me to plead guilty.”
No motions filed. No investigation. No fight. Just “take the deal” on repeat. You don’t even know if it’s a good deal because nobody will explain what the alternative looks like.
“I paid $10K and he did nothing.”
You scraped that retainer together — borrowed from family, drained savings. Now you can’t even get a status update on your own case. That’s not frustrating. That’s money spent on silence.
“I’m not the one facing charges — but I’m the one doing all the research.”
Your husband, your son, your brother is facing charges. His attorney won’t return YOUR calls either. Nobody will explain what’s happening. You’re the one up at 2am trying to understand what “discovery” even means. We built this for you too.
“I didn't even know my attorney was supposed to file motions. The questions alone changed everything.”
Marcus T.
Drug Possession · Attorney filed new suppression motion
“My lawyer hadn't even looked at the discovery. I walked in with 15 questions and suddenly he was actually working.”
Sarah K.
DUI · Attorney re-opened discovery review
“I’m not the one charged — my husband is. But I’m the one doing all the research at 3am. The playbook gave me the language to actually talk to his attorney. She called back the same day.”
Maria G.
Family member — Drug Trafficking, Florida · Attorney engagement transformed
“For $197 I got more useful information than from the $15,000 I paid my attorney. That's not an exaggeration.”

Names changed. Ours included.That's the whole point. Based on real defendant experiences; jurisdictions, timelines, and specific findings vary by case.
Who we are · Why we stay masked
We stay masked because our files aren't closed — and that's exactly why we can read yours.
We're researchers, not lawyers. Some of our founders have active cases right now: trial prep, discovery fights, motion deadlines. Using our names would hand the same legal system that already has files on us more ammunition.
Every courtroom is a closed ecosystem — the judge, the prosecutor, the defense attorney know each other by face and work together on the next case. Your attorney doesn't want to be the one who showed up with “the INAA questions.” The prosecutor doesn't want their witnesses cross-examined using our framework. So we don't give them a face to remember. We give you the questions they can't trace back to anyone they can lean on.
— Researchers. Defendants, still fighting.
How it works
Three steps. One report. Questions your attorney will have to answer on the record.
Submit your charges
Your charges, your case stage, what your attorney has or hasn’t done. That’s everything we need. Takes about 10 minutes.
We read what they didn't
40+ methodologiesYour case run through 40+ elite defense methodologies. Chain of custody. Informant credibility. Constitutional frameworks. Every angle elite defense attorneys cover — applied to your exact charges.
Change the power dynamic
15 calibrated questionsA custom report with case-specific questions formatted for your attorney meeting. Written, specific questions tend to get different responses than open-ended ones — and they become part of the record of what you asked.
What We Look For in Your Case
Every question we generate comes from documented defense methodologies from attorneys involved in landmark exonerations and acquittals.
Where did the evidence actually go?
We trace every piece of evidence from the scene to the courtroom. Weight discrepancies, missing items, broken chain of custody — if something vanished between the patrol car and the lab, we find it.
Who is the informant — and what were they promised?
Confidential informants have motives. We scrutinize their history, their handler relationship, and what they were offered in exchange for testimony.
What did the detective miss — or skip?
Investigations have patterns. When steps are skipped, corners cut, or reports contradict each other, those gaps become your questions.
What questions should break the witness’s story?
Cross-examination isn’t random. We design questions based on documented techniques that expose inconsistencies and procedural failures.
Were your rights violated during the investigation?
Fourth Amendment search issues, Miranda violations, Brady obligations — constitutional hooks that can suppress evidence or reverse convictions.
Does the lab report match what the police logged?
Substance type, weight, testing protocols. If the field test says one thing and the lab says another, that’s a question your attorney needs to ask.

Common Questions
Absolutely. You have a constitutional right to understand your own case. INAA provides legal research and questions, documented defense methodologies applied to your specific charges. We do not provide legal advice. Your attorney provides legal advice. We provide the information, so you know what they know.
Find It or It's Free. For the Case Decoder and Intelligence Brief: if we don't deliver at least 15 case-specific questions your attorney hasn't raised, full refund, no forms, no arguments. For the X-Ray and above (where we read your actual discovery): if we don't identify at least one gap your attorney hasn't raised, full refund. Miss the delivery deadline on any tier? Full refund AND you keep the report. Every dollar spent is credited toward the next tier. Credits valid for 12 months.
The right attorneys welcome informed clients. The questions give you a way to find out which one you have. Defendants who come to meetings with specific, documented questions get more attorney time, more motions filed, and more thorough defense work. The questions don’t create conflict, they create accountability.
Under ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, an attorney’s ability to withdraw is constrained to specific grounds listed in Rule 1.16 — asking informed questions is not among them. Your questions are documented — they become part of the record of your defense. (General information only; not legal advice. ABA rules are a model — your state bar’s rules control. Consult your attorney or state bar for your jurisdiction.)
That's fine, our Case Decoder ($197) and Case Intelligence Brief ($997) don't require discovery. We can analyze your charges, research your jurisdiction, and generate targeted questions with just your case information. When you get discovery, upgrade to The X-Ray with full credit.
Every report is built from the same elite-attorney methodology whether it arrives in 48 hours or 14 days. We don't lead with speed because we don't optimize for it — we optimize for finding the thing your attorney missed. Case Decoder: 48 hours. Case Intelligence Brief: 72 hours. The X-Ray: 10 business days.
That’s the exact situation we built this for. You’ve already spent $10,000 or more. INAA costs $197 — less than one hour of your attorney’s billing rate. The guarantee means if we don’t deliver at least 15 case-specific questions your attorney hasn’t raised, you pay nothing. Specific, written questions create a documented record of what you asked your attorney.
It's almost never too late. Most of what we find, discovery gaps, officer inconsistencies, missed motions, can be raised at any stage before sentencing. Even at the plea stage, strong questions give your attorney leverage to negotiate better terms. We've found critical issues in cases that were months into the process.
The DUI Defense Playbook ($127) is an instant-download PDF with 26 questions that change how your next attorney meeting goes, a breathalyzer calibration checklist, a case stage roadmap, 12 red flags, and a Case Progress Scorecard. No intake form, no wait. Your $127 is fully credited toward the Case Decoder within 30 days.
100% of what you paid is credited toward the next tier. Buy the Case Decoder for $197, then upgrade to the Case Intelligence Brief for just $800. No money wasted. Credits are valid for 12 months.
You're up at 2am because nobody will explain your case.
You've called. You've emailed. You've waited. Now stop waiting. Start knowing.
Motions expire. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. But the defendant who walks in with the right questions? Their attorney starts filing motions that week.
The defendant who walks in prepared changes the conversation.
