Is Advottic legal advice?
+
No, and we will never pretend it is. Advottic helps you keep your story tidy and your evidence organized. We are not a law firm and we do not create an attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, please talk to a licensed attorney.
I am facing criminal charges. Can Advottic help?
+
Please reach out to a public defender right away if there is any chance of incarceration - that help is free and your constitutional right. Advottic can hold the timeline and the documents in the meantime, but a real attorney is what you need first.
Where is my information kept?
+
Your case lives in a private, encrypted database, and your uploads sit in a private file vault. Only your account can open them. You can export everything you have written or uploaded at any time.
Can my attorney see my case?
+
Yes, on the Pro plan you can invite them by email. They can read the file and add to it, and you stay in charge of who has access. Remove them whenever you like.
What happens when I close a case?
+
It moves into your closed cases, stays searchable, and your packet export stays accessible. We do not delete anything unless you ask us to.
What is Bella, and is she a real AI legal assistant?
+
Bella is Advottic’s built-in AI assistant. She summarizes your case file, drafts documents from templates, and answers plain-English questions about your matter, always telling you which tool she used to get an answer. She is a research and organizing aid, not a lawyer, and never replaces legal advice.
Does Advottic do case management, or just personal case prep?
+
Both. On your own, you use Advottic to build and organize a single case: evidence, exhibits, hearing dates, a document trail. Law firms run full case management on Advottic Counsel: matters, intake, calendaring, trust accounting, e-signature, and AI-assisted drafting across every open file.
What does "case building" mean on Advottic?
+
It is the day-to-day work of turning scattered evidence into a coherent record: adding facts as they happen, auto-numbering exhibits as you upload them, tracking dates and sources. By the time you need it, your case file already reads like a clean packet, not a shoebox of screenshots.
What is Safe Witness?
+
Advottic’s personal-safety feature. A press-and-hold, on the app or a paired Wear OS watch, sends a one-time alert with your live location to the trusted contacts you have chosen, plus a one-tap way to call 911. It requires your explicit action every time - nothing runs in the background without you triggering it.
