vs. the free site at virginiacourtfile.com
What you can't get for free.
- 4 published research reports on the most common patterns
- Aggregate stats by charge × jurisdiction (search the site)
- Attorney + prosecutor profile pages (top-level)
- Methodology + glossary
- The exact venue × charge × officer × prosecutor combination for YOUR case — not the published-report top-level slice
- Officer dismissal history for the specific arresting officer (when you name them) — not aggregate top-N
- VCSC felony outlier callouts specific to your circuit + charge
- Best / Expected / Worst sentencing scenarios with statewide guideline comparisons
- Strategic-read commentary on what the numbers mean for plea posture
- Defensible methodology footer — usable as expert-witness backup if needed
- Delivered as PDF + matching HTML
The free site has the patterns most defenders need. The Custom Report has the patterns nobody else needs— the unfamiliar venue, the rare officer, the unusual charge that isn't in any published report. Synthesized for one case.
What you get
- Venue benchmark— reduction, dismissal, conviction rates for your charge in your jurisdiction, with statewide baselines for context.
- Modal plea floor— the most-common amended charge in that venue, with prevalence percentages.
- Officer history— if you name the arresting officer, we pull their dismissal pattern across your charge.
- Prosecutor posture— CA office trial rates, guilty-plea rates, charge-amendment patterns.
- Sentencing scenarios— best / expected / worst cases with VCSC felony guideline comparisons + outlier callouts.
- Methodology footer— every figure cites the data source + time window. Defensible if a client asks.
When you'd use this
- Taking a one-off case in a jurisdiction you don't normally work
- Prepping a high-stakes plea conversation with a skeptical client
- Fee-justifying a $5K-$20K retainer with concrete venue data
- Pre-trial strategy: should we plead, or push for trial in this venue?
- Cross-exam prep when the arresting officer is the key witness
Why $499
Roughly half a retainer hour on a $7,500 case. Comparable expert-witness work runs $3-15K per case. We're pricing as a per-case research tool, not expert testimony — cheap relative to the stakes, sustainable relative to our marginal cost.
