Mighty Law, a tech law startup specializing in personal injury law, has sparked recent controversy among larger practices after claiming that their competitors overcharge and lack transparency towards their clients.

On this edition of “Closer Look,” Joshua Schwadron, CEO and founder of legal tech provider Mighty, discusses an industry dispute over its initiative to provide personal injury representation at a lower cost and to combat monetary misrepresentation within the law industry.

Offering legal services since 2022, the New York City-based startup aims to provide low-cost legal representation for people who are injured. Mighty has received attention for its criticism of large injury law firms for overcharging.

With millions of Americans injured every year, Schwadron says that “billboard attorneys” have been the catalyst for these lawsuits in the state. Mighty has criticized larger firms’ practices, but this year was denied ad space for an Atlanta billboard campaign to expose what his company views as unfair legal practices by these firms.

According to Schwadron, an Emory Law graduate, Mighty offers a 60-day, no commitment trial for legal services and charges below average personal injury lawyer rates. The company currently serves Georgia, Connecticut and Texas.

“The thing that you’d expect with Mighty is a level of transparency that doesn’t exist among personal injury [firms] today,” Schwadron said. “Not only are we helping you to tell you the truth about your case so that you know what you’re getting into, we’re actually providing the service at a much lower cost.”
