Founder of Lawsuit Informer · California-licensed attorney (CA Bar No. 263673)

I built Lawsuit Informer because the public-facing legal internet has become hard to read honestly. Lawsuit pages mix education, advertising, and case intake without saying which is which. Generative AI now adds volume to the problem, producing legal content that sounds right and blurs the line between what the law actually recognizes and what a marketing funnel hopes a reader will assume.

I have worked both sides of that system. I have represented injured clients, and I have seen how claims get screened and routed through intake and referral. That shapes the editorial approach here. The aim is to show a reader what a general legal article can tell them, and where it stops, before they make a decision under stress.

Why I Built Lawsuit Informer

Search a lawsuit topic in 2026 and you are up against three things at once. There is content optimized for search and written to advertise rather than to explain. There are AI summaries that state legal positions with confidence and never separate settled law from unsettled. And there are intake forms built to look like information. Each is legitimate on its own. Together they leave you unable to say what you actually know after thirty minutes of reading.

Lawsuit Informer is an attempt to write back. The site is built around three commitments:

The site is an editorial platform, not a law firm. Reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing on it should be treated as legal advice for a specific situation.

Background

Published Commentary and Media Mentions

My published writing runs on two themes. The first is the gap between a narrowing EPA posture on PFAS and a PFAS litigation landscape that keeps expanding. The second is the legal questions AI raises: what a reader risks by relying on AI-generated legal content that no editor has reviewed, and whether AI output should be treated as a product or as content when liability is at stake. The pieces below set out those positions most directly.

Editorial Standards

Every page on Lawsuit Informer is written or reviewed by a California-licensed attorney before it goes up. Pages on medical topics get a second review for general medical accuracy. Every substantive page carries a last updated date. Pages on fast-moving topics such as PFAS and AFFF are reviewed on a rolling basis as the regulations and the litigation change.

The site does not publish anonymous content, does not present marketing copy as editorial reporting, and does not claim to evaluate individual claims. Where AI tools are used in drafting, the published version is reviewed by a licensed attorney for accuracy, framing, and any statements that should be qualified or removed.

Full details, including how corrections are handled, are available on the Editorial Policy page.
