Who is this service for?
Licensed attorneys and law firms seeking project-based research, drafting, and litigation support. Services are not offered directly to the public or to an attorney’s client.
Is Drafted for Counsel a law firm?
No. Drafted for Counsel provides attorney-directed support for counsel’s independent review and supervision. Wesley does not represent your client, appear as counsel, sign filings, or make the professional decisions reserved to you.
How is artificial intelligence used?
AI may be used inside a research and drafting workflow to accelerate organization, comparison, and first-pass drafting. It does not replace source review: every cited authority and quotation is checked against the underlying source before delivery.
What does “flat fee” mean?
The price is tied to an agreed project scope rather than an open-ended hourly meter. You know the deliverable and fee before work begins. If the scope changes, the change is discussed before additional work proceeds.
What should I send in the first text?
Only a nonconfidential description: the general task type, jurisdiction, desired deadline, and rough size of the record. Do not include names, privileged facts, confidential material, or documents in the initial message.
Have a project on your desk?
