If you can’t afford an attorney, chances are you’ve already thought about using AI to help with your legal situation.
Maybe you already have.
I get it. Legal help is expensive, the system is complicated, and when you’re facing an eviction, a custody issue, or a debt collection lawsuit, you need answers fast.
But here is what I need you to know:
AI is generating fake case citations. Fake. Made up. Cases that do not exist. And people are filing them in court and losing. A researcher tracking this worldwide has logged over 1,345 incidents. In 2025 alone, 294 of those involved everyday people representing themselves.
One Indiana family built their entire appeal on 14 cases that didn’t exist. They lost everything.
The court did not care that they didn’t know. The law holds everyone to the same standard, attorney or not.
This is exactly why I do what I do.
As a paralegal with 30+ years of experience having worked for the State of Illinois, local law firms, and Fortune 500 firms, I prepare legal documents for people who need real, accurate, professionally reviewed paperwork and not a printout from a chatbot.
I just published a full article on what’s happening with AI in the legal system, who is most at risk, and what needs to change in Illinois.
If you or someone you know is navigating the court system without an attorney, please read it. And please share it.
