Law Enforcement Requests

Our Commitment to User Data

Motion Ready recognizes that customer data may include attorney work product and attorney-client privileged communications. The attorneys who use our platform entrust us with sensitive matter information, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We do not voluntarily provide customer data to law enforcement or government agencies. We require valid legal process appropriate to the data sought for any compelled disclosure. This page describes our policies and procedures in full.

Legal Requirements for Disclosure

We require valid legal process before producing any customer data. The appropriate form of process depends on the data sought:

• Subpoenas — civil or criminal subpoenas issued under applicable procedural rules (e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 45, Fed. R. Crim. P. 17, or applicable state equivalents)
• Court orders — orders issued by courts of competent jurisdiction, including 18 U.S.C. § 2703(d) orders for stored communications content
• Search warrants — warrants meeting applicable constitutional and statutory requirements, including probable cause and particularity

We evaluate all demands for legal validity and scope before producing any data. We will object to demands that are overbroad, procedurally deficient, or legally invalid.

Attorney-Client Privilege Protection

Customer data submitted to Motion Ready may contain information protected by the attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. This includes case facts, legal strategies, draft documents, and client communications provided during the intake process.

• Motion Ready will not voluntarily waive any applicable privilege on behalf of customers.
• We will affirmatively raise privilege as a threshold objection where applicable, and notify affected customers to allow them to assert privilege independently.
• We will cooperate with customer efforts to oppose demands on privilege grounds, including providing declarations or other support as reasonably requested.
• We will not produce privileged content without a court order specifically adjudicating and overruling the privilege claim.

These protections are also reflected in our Data Processing Agreement, Section 16.

User Notification Policy

We will notify affected customers of law enforcement requests before complying, where legally permitted. Our standard notice period is a minimum of 10 business days before the required compliance date, giving customers time to seek relief from a court.

Notification will be sent to the registered account email address on file.

Exceptions to Prior Notice

We may not be able to provide prior notice in the following circumstances:

• Where prior notice is prohibited by law (e.g., national security letters with non-disclosure orders, 18 U.S.C. § 2705(b) orders prohibiting notice)
• Sealed court orders that prohibit disclosure of the order's existence
• Emergency circumstances involving imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury (see Section 5)

Where we are prohibited from providing prior notice, we will provide notice as soon as legally permitted after complying with the demand.

Emergency Requests

In cases involving an imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury, Motion Ready may respond to emergency requests from law enforcement under applicable law, including 18 U.S.C. § 2702(b)(8) for voluntary disclosure in emergencies.

Emergency requests must be submitted to support@motion-ready.com and must include:

• A clear written statement of the specific emergency and the nature of the imminent risk
• The name and contact information of the requesting officer and their agency
• A description of the specific data sought and its relevance to the emergency
• Badge number or other official identification

We reserve the right to verify the identity of the requesting officer before responding. Abuse of the emergency request process may be reported to the officer's supervisory authority.

What Data We Hold

The following categories of data may be available in response to valid legal process:

• Account registration data — name, bar number, email address, firm name, and account creation date
• Order records — motion type, jurisdiction, submission date, and order status (note: substantive case content is separately categorized below)
• Uploaded documents and generated drafts — source documents submitted by the attorney and AI-generated motion drafts; retained for 365 days after order completion
• Billing records — payment amounts, dates, and transaction identifiers; retained for 7 years in accordance with financial recordkeeping requirements
• IP address and session logs — login timestamps, IP addresses, and browser user agents; retained for 90 days

Note on AI processing logs: Logs generated during AI pipeline execution are deleted immediately after generation — there is zero retention. This data cannot be produced in response to legal process because it does not exist at the time of any demand.

How to Submit a Request

All law enforcement and government data requests must be submitted in writing. We do not accept verbal requests.

Submit requests to: support@motion-ready.com

Each request must include the following information:

• Issuing authority (court, agency, or officer name and jurisdiction)
• Case or matter number
• Specific data categories sought
• Date range for the requested data
• Legal basis for the demand (statute, rule, or order citation)
• Point of contact for follow-up questions

Allow 5 business days for initial response. We will acknowledge receipt and advise whether the request is legally sufficient or requires supplementation.
