MEET THE FOUNDER
Attorney-Led, with a Specific View on Why This Site Exists
Lawsuit Informer was founded by David Meldofsky, a California-licensed attorney, because the public-facing legal internet has become difficult to read honestly. Lawsuit pages routinely mix education, advertising, and case intake without signaling which is which, and AI-generated content has made the line harder to find.
The site is the response: pages written or reviewed by a licensed attorney, with visible authorship, dated review notes, and editorial work kept separate from case intake.
David's writing has been published in Attorney at Law Magazine, Law360, and the Daily Journal, with a focus on PFAS regulation, drinking water standards, and consumer-facing legal content.

How Lawsuit Informer Works
The site is built around a few specific commitments — not generic claims about quality.
Written or Reviewed by an Attorney
Every substantive page is written or reviewed by David Meldofsky, a California-licensed attorney, before publication. The site does not publish anonymous content.
Editorial Separated from Intake
Lawsuitinformer.com is the editorial site. Case intake happens on a separate site, lawsuit.center. Calls-to-action are clearly labeled, and editorial decisions aren't driven by intake partners.
Dated Review on Every Page
Substantive pages carry a "last updated" date. Pages on developing topics — PFAS, AFFF, AI litigation — are reviewed on a rolling basis as regulations and case law change.
Disclosed Use of AI in Drafting
AI tools are used in parts of research and drafting. Every published page is reviewed by a licensed attorney for legal accuracy and framing before going live. Disclosed openly on the Editorial Policy.
Medical Review on Health Content
Medical sections of pages discussing symptoms, illness, or toxic exposure are reviewed for general accuracy by Dr. Thomas A. Hatzilabrou, M.D.
Corrections Welcome
If a page contains a factual error or outdated citation, the corrections form sends it directly to editorial review. Substantive corrections update the page's review date.
Subscribe for updates
