High-Stakes Family Law & The Drafting Bottleneck
Family law litigation is inherently complex, emotionally charged, and highly document-intensive. In Arizona domestic relations practice, attorneys must navigate detailed statutory requirements under A.R.S. Title 25 and the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure (ARFLP). Whether addressing equitable liens on separate property, spousal maintenance disputes, or complex discovery sanctions, drafting persuasive, airtight court filings requires extensive legal research and meticulously formatted pleadings.
For an experienced practitioner like Randi Sirlin, preparing a substantive motion, petition for contempt, or complex family law pleading traditionally required anywhere from 8 to 10 hours of intense drafting and verification. The mechanical burden of synthesizing case law, structuring arguments, and drafting complete, court-ready motions created a significant operational bottleneck, limiting overall capacity while demanding immense time investments.
Furthermore, domestic relations litigation often demands rapid response times whether filing temporary order motions, responding to emergency petitions, or enforcing spousal maintenance decrees. The challenge was finding a way to streamline drafting and research without risking the hallucination or inaccuracies common in general consumer AI models.
Drafting & Deep Research Powered by NexLaw AI
To streamline her litigation workflow without compromising quality, Randi integrated NexLaw AI, a litigation-native AI platform designed specifically for legal research, argument construction, and automated drafting with verified, zero-hallucination citations.
NeXa Deep Research — Rapid Arizona Case Law Retrieval

Build an Argument — Persuasive, Objective Motion Drafting
Transforms complex legal positions into structured motion briefs, such as motions for attorney fee awards based on opposing party dishonesty or failure to disclose, stress-testing legal grounds against judicial standards.

I have been using NexLaw and now, I can’t imagine not having it. The drafting tool is excellent and often has cut my drafting time from 8 to 10 hours for a pleading to 4 to 5 hours for a pleading.
