Too much data
Chats, emails, photos and recordings sit in different places. Nothing speaks to anything else. Patterns are invisible.
Family & civil disputes • UK
From messy digital evidence to a clear case narrative.
LegallyHeard reads WhatsApp, email, SMS, recordings, photos and video, then surfaces the timeline, the patterns and the context your case turns on, in minutes, not billable hours. Built first for family disputes; robust enough for the civil and criminal-adjacent matters they grow into.

The problem
Family cases drown in evidence before they ever reach a hearing.
A typical disputed divorce or child-arrangements case now produces thousands of messages, emails and recordings. Manually combing through it is what makes the £400/hr bills so painful, and so wrong for the client.
Too little time
Manual review eats 20–60 billable hours per case. That's £7,500–£22,500 of client money spent on reading, not advising.
Too much uncertainty
Critical messages are missed, misread or presented out of order. Bundles get rejected. Hearings get adjourned.
The platform
R
A
G
Three pillars. Six data sources. One evidence story.
Read
Ingest WhatsApp exports, IMAP mailboxes, SMS archives, audio recordings, video clips and photo libraries. We normalise everything to a single timeline.
Analyse
Identify patterns: missed handovers, sentiment escalation, financial inconsistencies, broken agreements. Quote-level grounding so every conclusion is auditable.
Graph & reference
Auto-build the case timeline. Cross-reference messages with statements, photos with locations, recordings with their transcripts. Export a court-ready bundle.
Three steps to a court-ready bundle.
01
Drop in your evidence
WhatsApp .txt export, email .mbox, SMS dump, audio/video files, photos. Or paste one chat to start. We accept everything family teams already collect.
02
We do the heavy reading
Transcription, OCR, tone analysis, entity extraction, cross-referencing. Hours of manual reading compressed into minutes, with every quote tagged to its source. The platform surfaces and organises; it never decides who is right.
03
Export a court-ready bundle
Indexed PDF, SHA-256 hash chain per page, an annotated timeline and a barrister-friendly key-events summary. Print, share with the other side, or file as an exhibit.
Pricing teaser
Pay once, per case. From a £49 taster to a full court bundle.
No consumer subscription. Try us on a single chat for £49, then pay one flat fee for your whole case. Compare us to a £375/hr solicitor and see what your case actually needs.
