Wherever you are, start there
Most employment matters take months — often years — to resolve. The tools change as your situation does, from the first uneasy week to the final decision. Use the tools at your own pace, while keeping track of legal deadlines. Keep a backup of your records that you control.

Start with what is happening at work
You can make a clear record before you know the legal name for your concern.
Two moments when documentation matters.
Two common patterns — and why timing matters.
Terminations often happen fast, with access cut before you can save anything — and piecing it back together afterward is slow. Walking into a consultation with scattered memories instead of an organized record costs time and money. Bring an attorney a clear timeline and evidence, not confusion.

Smart Tools That Work Alongside You
Built-in AI analysis to help you understand, respond, and build a stronger record.
AI tools are free for workers. No credit card required.
Understand Their Response
Paste the employer’s written response. We lay out the arguments it makes and show where they line up against your own record, so you can check the suggestions against the original records before deciding anything.
Draft Your Reply
Turn your timeline and evidence into an organized draft response to what the employer filed. Review and edit it yourself — we recommend attorney review before anything is filed.
What Your Evidence Shows
AI can suggest patterns, timing questions, and notable records to review. Check each suggestion against your original documentation.
AI output can contain errors. This is information, not legal advice. Review the facts and consult a licensed attorney before relying on or filing it.
About this guidance
Using this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney can assess the law and deadlines that apply to your situation.
Workers don’t know
their rights
At-will employment does not erase your legal protections. Understanding the exceptions can help you decide what to document and when to seek advice.
Common Myth
“I live in an at-will state so I can be fired for any reason.”
Legal Reality
At-will has massive exceptions. In every state, federal and state laws may protect you from being fired based on race, sex, age, disability, retaliation, and more — coverage depends on factors like employer size.
