Altera AI delivers finished legal drafts — motions, briefs, demand letters, research memos — on demand, for a flat monthly fee. No salary. No benefits. No ramp-up. Just work product.
The Problem
Finding good legal talent takes months. Keeping them costs $80,000–$140,000 a year per associate when you factor in salary, benefits, turnover, and training. For a 5–15 attorney firm, you can't compete with BigLaw salaries.
Finding a qualified associate averages 3–6 months from post to productivity. In a growing firm, that's work piling up, clients waiting, and you staying buried in tasks that shouldn't be yours.
Salary, benefits, payroll taxes, turnover, training time — a junior associate costs $80,000–$140,000 per year before you see ROI. For a 5–15 attorney firm, you can't compete with BigLaw salaries.
When growth means hiring, growth becomes a decision — not a process. Every new client risks overloading the team. You say no to matters you should take or you stay late doing associate-level work.
The Solution
No tool to learn. No prompt engineering. Submit work the way you'd assign it to a smart associate — and get back a near-final draft ready for your review.
Tell us what you need — motion type, case facts, jurisdiction, deadline. Upload relevant documents. Takes 5–10 minutes. Less time than briefing an associate.
Our AI agents produce a complete draft using your firm's style fingerprint, the correct legal standard for your jurisdiction, and a 3-layer citation verification pipeline built in.
The draft lands in your Google Drive. Review it exactly as you'd review an associate's work. Make your edits. Add the facts only you know. File it.
Finished work, not a tool
We deliver drafts. Not a search engine. Not a chat interface.

Founder & CEO
The Founder
Altera AI didn't start in a co-working space. It started in the middle of a real law firm — where attorneys were drowning in repetitive drafting work and the only answer anyone could offer was “hire more people.”
Sami Ragab, managing partner of Ragab Law Firm, P.C., spent 18 months building AI drafting workflows inside his own firm — tested on real cases, cutting drafting time by 40–60%. He realized every small and mid-size firm has this problem. Almost none of them have the solution.
When Sami says the quality is there, he knows — because his name is on the line too. He personally reviews every deliverable during the launch period.
