Pioneering AI-Powered Legal Solutions for Everyday Americans
Pioneering AI-Powered Legal Solutions for Everyday Americans
The legal profession stands at a technological crossroads, and Kyle Roche is leading the charge toward democratized justice. As Managing Partner at Freedman Normand Friedland LLP, Roche co-founded ClaimsHero in January 2023, creating the first consumer justice platform operating as a licensed Arizona law firm.
The innovation addresses a critical gap identified by the 2022 Legal Services Corporation Justice Gap Study: 92% of low-income Americans lack adequate legal help for substantial civil problems. Traditional legal services require complex paperwork and significant out-of-pocket costs, creating barriers that leave millions without representation.
ClaimsHero transforms this landscape through technology-driven solutions. The platform streamlines claim submission into simple 1-2 minute forms, automates eligibility verification, and manages cases end-to-end. Consumers pay nothing upfront, with the firm operating on contingency—getting paid only when clients win. Real-time updates keep plaintiffs informed throughout the process, while targeted social media advertising identifies potential claimants efficiently.
Current campaigns address pressing issues including TikTok’s allegedly addictive design affecting over 100 million eligible users, Federal Wiretap Act violations, video game addiction, and data breach compensation. The platform’s mission statement captures the vision: “We flip the tables by using the same technological advances that make it easier to create injustice to enable you to assert your rights.”
This approach aligns with explosive growth in legal technology markets, projected to reach $46.8 billion by 2030. With 27% of legal professionals actively using generative AI in 2024, the industry validates technology-enabled justice models. Roche’s chemical engineering background from Purdue University combined with his Northwestern law degree positions him uniquely to bridge technical innovation and legal strategy.
His six consecutive Super Lawyers Rising Star designations (2020-2025) demonstrate sustained excellence while pioneering solutions that make legal representation accessible to ordinary Americans who need it most.
