Expert family law guidancefor every family.
49% of divorce petitioners in the US navigate family court without an attorney. Amicly was built to close that gap — with data, structure, and a clear path to expert help when needed.
The access to justice gap is real — and solvable.
In the DMV, a contested divorce costs $10,000–$50,000 and takes 6–18 months. Most families can't afford that. Most don't know where to start. And most don't realize that with the right information, many disputes can be resolved without ever going to court.
Access to Justice
We believe every family deserves expert guidance — not just those who can afford $490/hour attorneys.
Data Transparency
Court outcomes are public record. We make that data accessible and actionable for the people who need it most.
Safety First
Cases involving domestic violence or severe power imbalances are immediately escalated. Mediation is not appropriate for every situation.
Human Dignity
Family transitions are among the most stressful experiences in a person's life. Our platform is designed with empathy, not just efficiency.
When mediation isn't enough,we connect you to the right attorney.
Amicly is designed to resolve the majority of family disputes through structured, data-backed mediation. But some matters require the expertise of a licensed family law attorney — and we make that transition seamless.
Every module in Amicly has been reviewed by licensed family law attorneys for legal accuracy and jurisdictional compliance across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. When a case exceeds the platform's mediation capacity, users are escalated with their full case file already prepared.
This ensures Amicly is not just a technology product — it is a professionally grounded legal resource, backed by practitioners who understand DMV courts.
How we handle your data and legal guardrails.
This is legal information, not legal advice.
Amicly provides legal information and tools to help users understand their options and the likely outcomes in their jurisdiction. We do not provide legal advice, and nothing on this platform creates an attorney-client relationship. We strongly recommend consulting a licensed attorney — and our escalation pathway makes that easy.
Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) compliance.
Our platform is designed in compliance with UPL rules in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. All document templates are reviewed by licensed attorneys. The platform does not draft legal documents on behalf of users — it provides guided tools that users complete themselves, with attorney review available.
Domestic violence screening.
Every intake includes a domestic violence and power imbalance screening. Cases that trigger these flags are immediately escalated to a licensed attorney and are not processed through the mediation workflow. Mediation is not appropriate where there is a history of abuse or a significant power imbalance between parties.
Court outcome data sourcing.
Our Predictive Analytics Engine draws from publicly available case records from DC Superior Court, Maryland Circuit Courts, and Virginia Circuit Courts. Data is disaggregated by judge, case type, and geography. All analytics are presented as contextual information to inform negotiation — not as predictions or guarantees of outcome.
Data privacy and confidentiality.
All user data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Mediation communications are treated as confidential. We do not sell or share user data with third parties. Our privacy policy is available in full on the platform.
