For defense attorneys, paralegals, investigators & mitigation specialists
Reveal the whole story. Build the whole case.
AI-assisted mitigation platform for criminal defense.
Aperio helps solo and small defense firms — attorneys, paralegals, investigators, and mitigation specialists — build a stronger mitigation strategy in less time per case.
The caseload grows. The hours don't.
You are the only defense attorney in the firm, with one paralegal beside you. Mitigation is the work that moves sentences, and it's the work that gets squeezed first when discovery, hearings, and client calls fill the day.
You take fewer cases
Every case you accept has a real time cost, so the calendar caps your practice before demand does.
Mitigation gets thin
Records, history, and context that could change a sentence stay buried because nobody has the hours to dig.
The doubt stays with you
After sentencing you replay it: did I fight hard enough for this client's freedom?
What Aperio gives you
A platform built around the mitigation work criminal defense teams already do, with AI handling the reading, sorting, and drafting. It works for the whole team: attorneys, paralegals, investigators, and mitigation specialists in the same case file.
- A mitigation workspace for each client, organized from intake through sentencing
- AI review of records, interviews, and case documents to surface mitigating facts
- Drafted life history and mitigation narratives you edit and sign off on
- Gap flags that show what's still missing before you go in front of a judge
- Exportable materials for plea negotiation and sentencing submissions
- Setup and onboarding done with you, on a call
Built for legal work, not a general chatbot
Aperio never provides legal advice and never suggests legal action. It organizes, analyzes, and drafts mitigation material. Every legal judgment stays with you.
Your case data stays yours
Client material lives in a dedicated case workspace and is never used to train public models — unlike pasting records into a consumer AI chatbot.
Purpose-built for mitigation
General LegalTech tools are built around discovery and research. Aperio is built around mitigation domains, life history, and sentencing materials.
Attorney in the loop by design
Every narrative is a draft for your review, with gap flags and source records behind it, so nothing goes out that you haven't verified.
What changes for you
Less time per case
The reading and drafting that used to eat evenings gets done in a working session, so your hours go to strategy and clients.
Room for more clients
When mitigation stops being the bottleneck, your firm can take on the cases you're currently turning away.
A fuller picture at sentencing
You walk in with the client's full history documented, not the version you had time to assemble.
No second-guessing
You know what was found, what was argued, and that nothing was left on the table.
Why Aperio
Aperio comes out of mitigation specialist and investigation work — sitting with families, pulling records, and building the history that judges and prosecutors never see otherwise. We watched good attorneys run out of hours before they ran out of facts, so we built the tool we wanted on those cases.
500+
clients and defendants assisted through mitigation specialist and investigation work.
