Records Request

Public records requests, drafted, sent, tracked and followed up. Federal FOIA and the public records law of every state.

What it does

1. You say what you are trying to find out. The service turns that into a records description, finds the body that holds the records, and names the law.
2. It drafts the letter from a template a lawyer reviewed, with your words in it. You read it, change it, and approve it. Nothing goes out without your approval.
3. It sends the letter from an address that belongs to your request, and copies you. Replies come back to the same address.
4. It counts the deadlines in the body's own business days, from the statute, and shows the section each date comes from.
5. When a reply comes it reads it, records it, and tells you what changed. When a deadline passes in silence it drafts the follow-up. When the body denies the request it explains the appeal in general terms and puts your reasons in the template.
6. If the matter goes past what a request can do, it points you to a lawyer in that state.

What it does not do

• It does not predict whether your request will be granted or tell you which argument wins. It explains the law in general terms, with the section.
• It does not write the reasons for an appeal. Those are yours.
• It does not file suits. That is a lawyer's work.
• It does not sign in to government portals for you. Where a body takes only portal submissions, it prepares every field and you submit.

Start

Drafting is free. Filing uses the W3S subscription: one subscription opens every module, each seat carries a monthly allowance of requests filed, follow-ups included, and use beyond it is billed per request at the end of the month. The price is on the account page. Agency fees are yours and are shown before you approve.
