Edelson filed a lawsuit against DoNotPay Inc., claiming it practices law without a license. DoNotPay describes itself as 'the world’s first robot lawyer' using AI to help clients in court.

Infact verdict: Mixed (56/100).

The claims regarding DoNotPay Inc. involve legal and technological assertions. The lawsuit filed by Edelson against DoNotPay is confirmed by multiple reliable sources, including Reuters. DoNotPay's self-description as 'the world’s first robot lawyer' is also supported by evidence, though it has faced legal challenges over this claim. The use of AI by DoNotPay to assist clients is corroborated by several sources, but the company's legal standing is disputed. The claim that DoNotPay is not a robot, lawyer, or law firm is accurate, as it lacks the necessary legal credentials and licensing.
