How George Works
George guides self-represented litigants from uncertainty to clarity in three structured steps. No legal jargon. No guesswork. Just a clear view of where you stand and what to do next.
Step 1 Intake
Tell George What’s Happening
Start by describing your situation in your own words. Type, speak, or paste. If you have court documents, a notice, or a lease, you can upload them directly and George will read them.
George is listening for the for the key facts: what kind of housing you have, why you're being taken to court, and where you are in the process. It confirms everything it extracts from your documents before using it. If something doesn't look right, you correct it.
Your information is private. George does not share your data with courts, landlords or any third party. See our privacy policy. →
Step 2 Plan
George Builds Your Plan
Once George understands your situation, it moves through a structured decision tree — a set of legal questions specific to Virginia law — to identify what stage your case is in, whatdeadlines apply, and what options may be available to you.
Every piece of guidance comes from a jurisdiction-specific legal logic structure, verified against Virginia law and court procedures. You see your plan being built on the right side of your screen.
George then confirms everything with you before the plan is finalized. You stay in control.
Step 3 Review
A Clear Path Forward
Your completed plan tells you exactly where you stand. It covers your situation in plain language, the resolution options available to you, any defenses that may apply, the forms you may need, and who to contact if you need legal representation. If you need forms, George will help you complete them, but you verify the information at each step.
Save your plan as a PDF, receive it by email or text, or return to it later with your case code. If your situation is beyond George's scope, it prepares a summary you can hand directly to a legal aid, so you're not starting from scratch.

Built on Law. Not AI.
General-purpose language models are trained to be helpful and fluent, rather than accurate and traceable. When applied to legal matters, the result is guidance that sounds authoritative, reads professionally, but it can be dangerously wrong. Courts have noticed. The Supreme Court of Virginia issued formal AI guidance in May 2025 for precisely this reason.
George was built in direct response to that concern.
George operates on a two-layer architecture. The conversational layer is AI. It handles what language models do well: understanding plain-language input, asking clarifying questions, responding at an accessible reading level, and meeting a user where they are. That layer is deliberately constrained. It cannot interpret law, draw legal conclusions, or generate guidance from general training data.
The legal layer is a separate, deterministic decision tree built from Virginia law, General District Court procedures, and Supreme Court of Virginia rules. It does not learn. It does not improvise. It produces consistent outputs for consistent inputs. Every path through the tree is documented, version-controlled, reviewed and updated.
The result is key: outputs that are fully traceable. Logic can be followed from input to plan, step by step, and identify exactly which rule or procedure produced each piece of guidance.
