Built for defense work by people who run mission-critical platforms and have spent years inside investigations. Working criminal defense attorneys validate every feature.

The prosecution has the stack for modern discovery: Cellebrite, Axon, Brainspace.

Defense counsel does the harder work: finding what those productions bury.

Coherence is the workspace built for that work.

Defense only. Always.

Process

How Coherence works

Six steps from import to exhibits.

01

Import

Sync from TechShare, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box. Or import from a local device.

02

Index and transcribe

Documents, emails, chats, Bates productions, audio, and video, transcribed across dozens of languages and searchable the moment they land. Integrity checks on import.

03

Map the case

Faces matched across cameras. Voices linked to speakers. Officers identified from bodycam burn-in. Phones, plates, vehicles, places, money, and weapons extracted. Cited to its source.

04

Investigate

Run targeted analyzers across the case: cross-camera face match, officer roster, chronology windows, weapon and vehicle search. Or ask a question about who, what, when, or where. Answers cite their source.

05

Review side by side

Scrub video and transcript together. Continuity breaks flagged. Search and filter across the case. Add notes, flag passages, and mark exhibits as you read.

06

Build exhibits

Cut video and audio clips, pull document snippets, gather references. Sorted and ready to cite and present offline.

Capabilities

Purpose built for the defense

The prosecution side has purpose built platforms. Now the defense does too.

01 Discovery
Unified Search
Type a phrase, upload a face, or search for a weapon. Find it across every file type, with multilingual transcription and translation.
Multi camera viewer
What one camera missed, another caught. Lock every bodycam from the scene to one timeline and watch the moment from every angle at once. Up to eight feeds in one grid. Dash cam, interrogation room, the gas station camera across the street: any video drops into the grid. When timestamps are present, the feeds stay in sync.
Transcribe and translate
Drop 100 hours of bodycam, 20 hours of interrogation, Spanish jail calls, Yoruba wiretaps. Transcribed and translated in hours. Every line links to source.
Cited to source
No floating claims. Every hit links to the exact page, paragraph, or timestamp. Click, verify, trust.
02 Intelligence
Detect and analyze
Surfaces faces, objects, and entities across the case. Miranda analyzers flag gaps, timing, and completeness. Where reports, testimony, and footage pull apart, the platform surfaces those tensions as candidates for review. Every observation cites to source.
Private intelligence

Ask the discovery the questions that matter.

  • When was my client free to leave?
  • Was Miranda given before questioning?
  • Does the bodycam match the offense report?
  • Do the officers describe the same stop?

Answered on our servers. Never sent to outside model providers. Not stored.

03 Casework
Privilege protected
Every row labeled at intake. Work product by default. Privileged communications stay out of the search index unless you mark them otherwise.
Ready for court
Mark clips and snippets as you work. The exhibit binder assembles itself, every entry cited to timestamp, page, or Bates. Offline mode for trial.
04 Trust
Client portal
Solves the #1 client complaint: lack of communication. Clients and their family see exactly what you chose to share. Paralegals assemble, lead attorney approves and publishes.
Sync Agent
A desktop client for reliable, resumable bulk uploads. Ship a 200GB phone dump or a month of bodycam. Network drops? It resumes from where it stopped. No reuploading what already landed.
05 Integrity
Chain of custody
Coherence hashes every file at intake and logs every access. The chain stays intact. Tampering will show.
Archive vault
Move closed cases to the archive vault. Cost-effective, secure retention for years. Rehydrate any case in hours when an appeal opens or a habeas petition lands.
Built for privileged work
Data lives in Texas on Azure. All processing runs on infrastructure we control. No third-party APIs, no external model providers. Tenant isolation enforced at the database and Azure IAM level, independent of application code. MFA, audit logging, role-based access on every account. Security posture aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA are in progress because your clients' lives depend on it.
Security

Security built for privileged work

Enterprise controls today. Third-party attestation in progress.

01

Processed in house

Your case runs on Coherence's own systems, start to finish. No third-party model APIs in the path.

02

Preserved as received

Every file is hashed on arrival. Chain of custody stays intact and provable in court.

03

Encryption and access

Encryption at rest and in transit, MFA, role-based access, and a full audit trail on every account.

04

Texas, on Azure

Your data stays in Azure data centers in Texas. Residency is a product constraint, not a preference.

About

Why Coherence

Everyone deserves a fair trial. Our clients believe that. So do we. A fair trial requires a fair fight.

As a digital investigator, I know what the prosecution's tools can do. The defense deserves the same caliber of capability.

Defense lawyers spend more time fighting discovery than fighting for their clients. The work that wins cases gets crowded out by the work of keeping up. Finding what the prosecution missed. Connecting facts across files. Building the timeline.

Coherence is for that work. So defense attorneys, paralegals, and their clients can spend their hours where they should have been all along: on the client, on the argument, on the win.

My standing promise: bring the latest technology to the defense, fitted and tested for criminal and public defense work. Fidelity, privilege, safety, or it doesn't ship.

FAQ

Questions defense teams ask

Straight answers on evidence, privilege, privacy, and court use.

What kind of evidence does Coherence handle?

Documents, emails, chats, Bates numbered productions, audio, photos, and video: bodycam, dash cam, interrogation footage, street CCTV, residential surveillance, with or without timestamps. Everything indexed and transcribed across dozens of languages.

Who is Coherence built for?

Criminal defense attorneys, public defender offices, court-appointed counsel on the CJA panel, and capital defense teams. Coherence is not used by prosecution offices and is not connected to law enforcement systems.

How does the multi camera viewer work?

Lock every bodycam from the scene to one timeline and watch the moment from every angle at once. Up to eight feeds in one grid. Dash cam, interrogation room, street CCTV, surveillance: any video drops into the grid. When timestamps are present, the feeds stay in sync; without them, each source runs on its own clock.

Does Coherence surface Miranda issues and other tensions in the evidence?

Yes. Miranda analyzers flag gaps, timing, and completeness for review. You can also ask the file when reports and bodycam pull apart. Cited to source. Suggests, never concludes.

What can I ask with private intelligence?

Ask the discovery the questions that matter:

  • When was my client free to leave?
  • Was Miranda given before questioning?
  • Does the bodycam match the offense report?
  • Do the officers describe the same stop?

Answered on our servers. Never sent to outside model providers. Not stored.

Does Coherence send our queries to OpenAI, Anthropic, or other outside services?

No. Coherence runs its own inference servers. Questions are never sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or other outside model providers, and we don’t store them.

How is privileged work product protected?

Every row is labeled as work product by default unless you mark it otherwise. Built to meet the security standards privileged work demands.

Can I use Coherence offline in the courtroom?

The exhibit binder runs offline. Mark clips, snippets, and references as you work; the binder bundles them with their citations and plays from a local file at trial, no wifi needed. The live workspace itself requires a connection.
