Edelson, a well-known law firm based in Chicago, is no stranger to lawsuits against tech companies. This time, they have taken aim at DoNotPay Inc., a company that claims to be the world’s first robot lawyer. The lawsuit alleges that DoNotPay is practicing law without a license, and is therefore in violation of California state law.
The lawsuit, filed on March 3 in San Francisco, claims that DoNotPay’s use of artificial intelligence to assist clients in court constitutes the unauthorized practice of law. According to the suit, DoNotPay is not a robot, a lawyer, or a law firm, and is therefore not authorized to provide legal services to clients.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Jonathan Faridian, a California resident who engaged DoNotPay’s services to produce demand letters, a small claims court filing, and LLC operating paperwork. Faridian alleges that the work he received from the company was “substandard and badly done,” and is seeking damages on behalf of himself and other potential plaintiffs.
DoNotPay has gained significant attention in recent years for its claims to use artificial intelligence to help clients with legal issues. The company’s founder, Joshua Browder, has said that he started the company in order to make legal services more accessible and affordable for individuals. The company’s services include everything from parking ticket appeals to landlord-tenant disputes, and they claim to have helped millions of people with their legal issues.

This lawsuit is not the first time that Edelson has taken on a tech company. The law firm has a reputation for going after companies that it believes are engaging in unfair or illegal practices. In the past, they have filed lawsuits against companies like Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn.
It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out in court, but it could have significant implications for the future of legal services provided by artificial intelligence. As more companies like DoNotPay emerge, it is likely that we will see more legal challenges like this one.
