How lawsuits work
Who writes this
Written and Edited by a California Attorney
Lawsuit Informer is written and edited by David Meldofsky, a California-licensed attorney. He started the site because lawsuit pages often mix education, advertising and case intake without telling the reader which is which.
His work has been published in Law360, the Daily Journal and Attorney at Law Magazine.

What every page is held to
- A licensed attorney writes or reviews every guide and case page before it is published.
- Guides and case pages show the date they were last updated.
- Dr. Thomas A. Hatzilabrou, M.D. reviews the medical sections of pages about symptoms, illness or toxic exposure for general accuracy.
- AI tools help with parts of research and drafting. The Editorial Policy explains how.
- Case intake happens on a separate site, and every link to it is labeled.
- The corrections form sends a reported error straight to editorial review.
Lawsuit Informer also gives plain-language talks for schools, libraries and community groups. See the community education program.
