Does File Logic do legal research like Paxton?

No — by design. File Logic focuses on turning the records you upload into cited chronologies, reports, and draft briefs. It does not perform external legal research, which keeps every answer grounded in your case file.

Can File Logic handle scanned and handwritten records as well as Paxton?

Yes. File Logic is built specifically for the kinds of records plaintiff firms actually receive: scanned hospital records, handwritten notes, faxed pages, and poor-quality PDFs. Everything is OCR'd and made reviewable automatically.

If we already use Paxton for research, can we add File Logic for chronologies?

Yes. Many firms pair File Logic with a research tool — File Logic owns the record-to-chronology-to-brief workflow, the research tool owns case law.

Which practice areas does File Logic specifically support?

Social Security Disability, VA Disability, Personal Injury, and Workers' Compensation, with output tailored to the evidence that matters in each.

What about HIPAA and data security?

File Logic is HIPAA-ready, encrypts data, isolates by organization, and never references external sources or other cases. A BAA is available on request.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days, no credit card.

Straight talk

Where Paxton AI stands today.

Paxton AI is a general-purpose legal assistant covering research, drafting, and document analysis, with a medical chronologies feature.

Paxton AI is a credible all-in-one legal assistant — research, drafting, document analysis, plus a medical chronologies feature. If your firm wants one AI tool for everything from contracts to research, Paxton is a reasonable bet. File Logic is the opposite shape: a focused, depth-first tool for the medical-record-to-work-product workflow that drives SSD, VA, PI, and Workers' Comp cases.

Why firms switch

Where File Logic wins.

Built for messy records

Scans, handwriting, faxes — the records you actually get.

Plaintiff firms know the truth: medical records arrive as scanned PDFs, hand-written notes, faxed pages, and the occasional photo of a chart. General legal AI tools are trained on clean text. File Logic is built for the records as they actually show up in your office.

Handles scanned hospital records, handwriting, and poor-quality PDFs
Everything becomes searchable and reviewable
No preprocessing or OCR step required from your team

Practice-area depth

Templates and prompts shaped to the case type.

SSD wants RFC limitations and treating-source opinions surfaced. VA wants nexus evidence connected across the C-file. PI wants accident-related treatment, gaps, and costs. A general legal assistant gives you one template; File Logic gives you the right output for the case you are actually working.

Dedicated workflows for SSD, VA, PI, and Workers' Comp
Save reusable report and brief templates per practice area
Tailored to the evidence each case type actually turns on

Single source of truth

Citations to your file. Not external research.

Paxton mixes document analysis with legal research and external sources. File Logic deliberately does not. The AI works only with the records you upload and your firm's knowledge base — never other clients, never external sources — so the chronology a partner reviews is grounded entirely in the case file.

AI works only with uploaded documents and your firm's knowledge
No external research mixed into chronology output
Per-organization isolation; nothing crosses between cases

Honest fit

When Paxton AI may be the better pick.

If your firm wants a single AI tool that covers contextual legal research, contract review, and case research alongside document analysis, Paxton's generalist breadth is genuinely useful. File Logic is purpose-built for the medical-record workflow — depth over breadth.

You want one tool covering legal research and contract review
Medical records are a small part of your practice mix
You value breadth across legal tasks over plaintiff-specific depth
