Casehopper is an AI-powered drafting tool for immigration attorneys, part of Y Combinator’s S23 batch. Takes client intake form data and uses large language models to generate polished immigration documents — reference letters, briefs, affidavits, and application materials. Founded 2023 by Juan Ortiz and Anuhya Vajapey, incorporated in Delaware, Seattle-based. Raised $500K (YC-backed). Listed on Stanford CodeX TechIndex. 4 employees. Zero practitioner reviews or user testimonials found — all coverage is from AI tool directories and startup bloggers. No security certifications disclosed despite handling highly sensitive immigration client data (asylum seekers, undocumented status). No evidence of multilingual intake support. Competes with Docketwise and INSZoom (established immigration case management) and Zyra/Vesti (AI paralegal for immigration).

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Casehopper is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Casehopper addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Small firm creates the same lease, will, motion to dismiss, or discovery request from scratch every time — no forms library, no document automation, and setting up templates in most PM tools requires a consultant
Immigration attorney with 200+ open cases gets 'what's my status?' calls daily from anxious clients — can't answer individually, has no automated status portal, and the clients' anxiety is justified because deportation or visa expiry is on the line
Demand letter drafting takes 3-6 hours per case because the attorney manually weaves medical records, liability facts, and damage calculations into a persuasive narrative — multiplied across 50+ active PI cases
