JurisFile didn't start as a business idea. It started as a personal experience — a cybersecurity executive who went through the Texas family court system and couldn't stop seeing exactly where technology should be doing more.
Like a lot of people in Texas, I went through a divorce. And like a lot of people, I came out the other side with a much clearer understanding of how the family law system works — and where it doesn't.
I spent 20+ years in cybersecurity and information technology — building and leading enterprise security programs across healthcare, financial services, government, media, and manufacturing. CISSP certified. CISM certified. I've led incident response for ransomware attacks on municipal governments alongside the FBI, built security programs for billion-dollar organizations, and co-invented AI systems that are now pending U.S. patent approval. I understand how to build technology that professionals can depend on in high-stakes, zero-error environments.
So when I was sitting across the table from my attorney reviewing invoices, I started doing what security engineers do: I looked at the process and identified where it was breaking down.
"A significant portion of what families pay in legal fees goes toward work that isn't lawyering — it's formatting, structuring, and preparing documents that follow the same pattern every single time."
Motion to enforce child support. Motion to enforce visitation. The same document type, filed hundreds of times a week across DFW courts, by attorneys who know exactly what needs to be in it — and who are spending hours of billable time on the mechanical work of producing it correctly for each specific court.
That cost gets passed to clients. Families already under financial stress from the divorce process itself end up paying paralegal rates for work that a well-built piece of software could handle in minutes. The attorney's expertise — the judgment, the strategy, the advocacy — that's what clients should be paying for. Not the formatting.
I built JurisFile to close that gap. Not to replace attorneys — the mandatory approval gate in every workflow makes sure of that — but to give Texas family law practitioners the same kind of operational leverage that technology gives every other professional field. So they can serve more clients, more efficiently, at a cost that doesn't drain the families who need their help most.
JurisFile is built by someone who has been on the client side of a Texas family law case. That perspective shapes everything about how the product works — the pricing, the court-specific formatting, the §157.002(c) specificity that keeps motions from getting kicked back, and the attorney approval gate that makes sure nothing goes to a clerk without a lawyer's eyes on it first.
When an attorney can draft a Motion to Enforce in 20 minutes instead of 3 hours, they have more time for the work that actually requires a lawyer. Client strategy. Court appearances. Negotiation. The human judgment that no software can or should replace.
More efficient attorneys can serve more clients. More clients served means more families get representation. And when administrative overhead comes down, attorneys have the flexibility to make their services more accessible to the families who need them most.
That's the outcome JurisFile is designed to produce — not just a faster motion, but a more efficient, more accessible Texas family law practice.
Mandatory approval gate on every document. Nothing files without attorney review. Full stop.
Not generic. Every DFW court pre-configured. §157.002(c) compliance built in. eFileTexas PDF ready.
AI systems expertise means we understand exactly how data should be protected. No training on client data. Ever.
The attorneys who need this most are not at large firms. $99/month puts it within reach of every Texas family law practice.
15 minutes. Your court, your motion type, your facts. No credit card required.
