Your WhatsApp, email and text history already holds the truth of your case. LegallyHeard reads all of it, both sides, under identical rules, and hands you a neutral, court-style record where every quotation is machine-verified against the source. In minutes, not months.
The demo runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
A hundred thousand messages read, organised and charted in minutes, with every quotation checked against your source file before it is printed.
A neutral UK evidence technology company, built from direct experience of family, civil and criminal litigation, where evidence overload drives delay and cost. We are not a law firm and we take no side. When thousands of pages become impossible to manage, we turn evidence into clarity.
We turn raw message exports, WhatsApp, email, SMS, iMessage, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Chat, Discord, Viva Engage, into one dated timeline, pattern analysis in both directions, and a court-style PDF report with an exhibit index and integrity hashes.
Parse every message. Apply identical rules to both parties. Verify every quotation against the source before it is printed. Keep context around every flashpoint so nothing is cherry-picked. Deep AI review happens only with your explicit, informed consent.
A typical disputed divorce or child-arrangements case now produces thousands of messages, emails and recordings. Combing through it by hand is slow, expensive work, and it is the part of a case where hours accumulate fastest.
Chats, emails, photos and recordings sit in different places. Nothing speaks to anything else. Patterns are invisible.
Reading the record can take 20-60 hours: £8,000-£24,000 of professional time that a client would rather see spent on strategy and advocacy. We do the reading so that time goes further. Our flat fees start at £49.
Critical messages are missed, misread or presented out of order. Bundles get rejected. Hearings get adjourned.
Ingest WhatsApp exports, EML/MBOX email, Android SMS/MMS XML, iMessage/iMazing exports, Messenger and Instagram JSON, Telegram HTML or JSON, Snapchat and LinkedIn exports, workplace exports from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Chat, Discord and Viva Engage with every channel and thread kept, plus evidence files. Preserved originals and normalised records feed one case timeline.
The local overview uses transparent rules to surface activity, timing and possible patterns. For opted-in Court Bundle matters, the Deep Fact-Finding Review examines the full record in overlapping context windows and produces structured findings for deterministic checking and synthesis.
Auto-build the case timeline. Cross-reference messages with statements, photos with locations, recordings with their transcripts. Export a court-ready bundle.
Fast, transparent processing on our own server for timelines, counts and rule-based indicators. Chat content is not sent to an AI provider for this overview.
A premium, white-glove Court Bundle option for large or complex records. With explicit opt-in, the full record is reviewed through overlapping context windows for AI structured findings, then deterministically deduplicated and synthesised. Direction and directedness are classified, every quoted extract is checked exactly against the source, and the report is neutral and two-sided.
Not self-serve or fully automated. We disclose the proposed AI provider, data flow and estimated provider cost before asking for consent. No chat is sent unless you opt in.
Upload WhatsApp .txt/.zip, EML/MBOX, Android SMS/MMS XML, iMazing or LinkedIn CSV, an Apple Messages chat.db (we ask which conversation), Messenger/Instagram JSON, Snapchat JSON, Telegram exports in HTML or JSON, or workplace exports from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Chat, Discord and Viva Engage. Select several sources together or add them later.
The local overview handles rule-based timelines and indicators. Where a scoped Court Bundle includes the consent-gated Deep Fact-Finding Review, AI-assisted reading is followed by deterministic dedupe, synthesis and exact source-quote verification. The service surfaces and organises; it never decides who is right.
Receive an indexed PDF, source manifest, annotated timeline and key-events summary. A review report is an aid to fact-finding and solicitor review: it is not itself evidence or a court document, and any filing or reliance should be decided with your legal adviser.
What LegallyHeard charges, per case: £49 to £2,499. One payment for your case, no hourly clock. Court Bundle is £2,499. Solicitors and teams: £149 per user per month (£75 legal aid). The £400/hr figure you see elsewhere on this page is what traditional review costs, not what we charge.

"I used to spend two evenings a week reading WhatsApp exports. LegallyHeard gave me the timeline in twenty minutes."Family solicitor, illustrative quote Illustrative

"The SHA-256 hash on every page meant the bundle was accepted first time. That alone paid for the year."Boutique family law partner, illustrative quote Illustrative
