Everything you need to know about working with Motion Granted.

Getting Started

Motion Granted is a legal process outsourcing (LPO) service that provides motion drafting support to solo practitioners and small law firms. We use AI-assisted drafting combined with attorney review to deliver court-ready motions at flat-fee pricing.

No. Motion Granted is NOT a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. We provide drafting services under the direction and supervision of the hiring attorney. The attorney of record reviews all work product and assumes full responsibility for the final document filed with the court.

We currently serve Louisiana and California state courts, plus federal courts in the 5th and 9th Circuits. We plan to expand to additional states in 2026. All work product is prepared to comply with the local rules of the target jurisdiction.

Click "Get Started" to create an account, then follow our 8-step intake wizard. You'll upload your case documents, describe the motion you need, select your deadline, and pay the flat fee. Our system handles the rest.

Pricing & Payment

Pricing is based on motion complexity. Tier A ($150) covers simple procedural motions. Tier B ($350) covers standard substantive motions. Tier C ($850) covers complex multi-issue motions. Tier D ($1,500+) covers major dispositive motions like summary judgment. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.

No. We operate on a per-order basis with flat-fee pricing. No subscriptions, no retainers, no minimum order requirements. You pay only for what you order.

We accept all major credit cards via Stripe. Payment is collected at the time of order submission. We do not currently accept ACH, wire transfers, or payment on account.

Every order includes one revision at no additional charge. If the revision still doesn't meet your needs, contact us to discuss a refund. We want you to be satisfied with every order.

Quality & Accuracy

Every citation in our motions goes through a 7-step verification pipeline. We check case existence, extract holdings, analyze subsequent history, and flag any negative treatment. Our screening uses open-source legal databases and is not a substitute for Shepard's® or KeyCite® research.

Yes. All work product is reviewed by a licensed attorney before delivery. The AI handles initial drafting and citation research; the attorney reviews for legal accuracy, proper argument structure, and compliance with local rules.

Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours depending on motion complexity. Rush delivery (same-day or next-day) is available for an additional fee. Deadlines are guaranteed; if we can't meet your deadline, we'll tell you before you submit.

Working With Us

At minimum: the operative complaint or petition, any relevant prior orders, and a brief description of what you need. For more complex motions, you may want to include discovery responses, deposition excerpts, or key exhibits. The more context you provide, the better the draft.

Your order includes a secure client portal where you can upload documents, leave notes, and track status. For urgent questions, you can email us directly. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 4 business hours.

We assign attorneys based on expertise and availability. While we can't guarantee a specific attorney, you can note preferences in your order and we'll accommodate when possible.

Absolutely. All case information is protected by strict confidentiality agreements and industry-standard security measures. We never share client information with third parties except as required to complete your order.

Security & Privacy

Yes. Motion Granted is designed to preserve attorney-client privilege and work product protection. Here's why: 1. Agency Relationship: Motion Granted operates as a tool directed by the attorney, similar to a legal research service or document preparation vendor. The attorney maintains full control over all inputs and outputs. 2. Commercial API Architecture: Unlike consumer AI chatbots, Motion Granted uses commercial AI APIs with zero-data-retention agreements. Your case data is never stored by the AI provider, never used for training, and never accessible to other users. 3. Work Product Doctrine: Documents generated through Motion Granted are attorney work product. The attorney directs the legal strategy, reviews all output, and takes professional responsibility for the final filing under Rule 11. 4. Confidentiality Controls: All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Access is restricted to the ordering attorney. No Motion Granted employee can view your case materials without explicit authorization. For more details, see our Security page and Terms of Service.

All case materials are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. We maintain comprehensive audit logs and permanently delete all case data after 365 days. See our Security page for complete technical details.

Motion Granted operates as a Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) service under the direct supervision of the hiring attorney. Under ABA Formal Opinion 08-451 and the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers §§ 70-73, communications and work product shared with LPO providers acting under attorney direction generally maintain their privileged status. We implement multiple safeguards: all data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), strict access controls limit data visibility to authorized personnel, all AI processing occurs in isolated environments with no cross-client data sharing, and we maintain comprehensive audit trails. We recommend attorneys include Motion Granted in their privilege logs as a vendor operating under attorney supervision, consistent with the common interest doctrine and agency principles recognized in Clark v. United States, 289 U.S. 1 (1933). See our Security page for complete technical details.

No. Your case materials and documents are never used to train AI models. Our AI processing services operate under commercial API agreements that contractually guarantee inputs are not used for model training. Each order is processed in an isolated environment with no cross-client data sharing.

We recommend five best practices: (1) Include Motion Granted in your privilege log as an LPO vendor operating under attorney direction — this is consistent with how firms log other litigation support vendors. (2) In multi-party litigation, consider whether a common interest agreement with co-counsel addresses shared work product. (3) For matters involving government investigations or regulatory proceedings, be aware that some jurisdictions apply heightened scrutiny to privilege claims involving third-party vendors — consult your jurisdiction’s ethics opinions. (4) Maintain your own copies of all case materials submitted to Motion Granted; our 365-day retention policy means materials are permanently deleted after that period. (5) If opposing counsel challenges privilege over Motion Granted work product, the key factors courts examine are: (a) whether the attorney maintained supervisory control (our workflow ensures this via mandatory attorney review), (b) whether the work product was created in anticipation of litigation, and (c) whether reasonable steps were taken to maintain confidentiality.

ABA Formal Opinion 512 addresses AI-assisted legal drafting disclosure obligations. We comply fully: every filing package includes an Attorney Instruction Sheet that identifies applicable AI disclosure requirements for your jurisdiction. The filing attorney retains full control over whether and how to disclose AI assistance, consistent with their obligations under applicable rules of professional conduct.

The hiring attorney of record is solely responsible for all documents filed with the court. Motion Granted provides drafting support under attorney supervision, but the attorney must review, approve, and take responsibility for all content before filing. This is consistent with ABA Model Rule 5.3 regarding supervisory responsibility over non-lawyer assistance.

Legal & Ethics

You're likely referring to USA v. Heppner (D. Mont. 2025), where the court found that documents created using a consumer AI chatbot were not protected by attorney-client privilege. That ruling does not apply to Motion Granted, and here's why: In Heppner, the attorney used a free consumer chatbot — a general-purpose tool with no confidentiality agreement, no data retention controls, and no professional service relationship. The court found that sharing confidential information with such a tool waived privilege because it was the equivalent of discussing case strategy in a public forum. Motion Granted is fundamentally different: • Commercial API with zero-data-retention: We use commercial AI APIs under enterprise terms that guarantee your data is never stored, never used for training, and never accessible to anyone else. This is not a consumer chatbot. • Attorney-directed tool: The attorney controls all inputs and reviews all outputs. Motion Granted functions as a sophisticated document preparation vendor, not an independent advisor. • Contractual confidentiality: Our Terms of Service include explicit confidentiality obligations that create the reasonable expectation of privacy courts require for privilege. • ABA Formal Opinion 512 compliance: The ABA has confirmed that attorneys may use AI tools ethically, provided they maintain competence, confidentiality, and supervisory responsibility — all of which Motion Granted's architecture supports. If you have concerns about privilege in your jurisdiction, we recommend consulting your state bar's ethics guidance on AI use in legal practice.
