About
Built for Florida criminal defense — beachhead first, then the rest of the country
DocketRadar is the real-time docket-tracking layer for FL state criminal defense firms. We start where deadlines bite hardest — DUI, speedy-trial, reciprocal discovery — and expand outward across the 11-state NACDL-chapter footprint next.
Our Story
From frustration to a better workflow
The Problem
Florida criminal defense lives and dies by docket deadlines
A typical FL criminal defense firm runs 200-500 cases a year per attorney across CCIS, Court Connect, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Duval, Miami-Dade, and Broward clerks. Arraignments, pretrials, docket soundings, discovery exchanges, DUI bookings — the deadlines are unforgiving, the portals are fragmented, and nothing on the market today surfaces every docket change the moment it lands.
The Question
Why is the highest-deadline-density practice the least tooled?
Per the NACDL 2023 survey, only about 35% of FL criminal defense practitioners use a true practice management system; 41% still rely on email and spreadsheets to track court dates. Clio, MyCase, and Smokeball each have criminal-practice marketing, but their rules engines (where they have one at all) don't cover FL state criminal procedure. The single sharpest gap in the FL legal-tech stack is a docket-aware deadline layer.
The Answer
Start with FL criminal. Expand from there.
DocketRadar is the real-time docket-tracking layer for FL criminal defense. We monitor 14 FL counties today, sync to Clio and your calendar, and surface every docket change the moment it lands — so arraignments, pretrials, docket soundings, and DUI bookings never get lost between hearings. We're independent, affordable, and built to work with whatever practice management software you already use.
What's next
11-state expansion through NACDL chapters
Once the FL criminal beachhead is winning, we expand across the 11-state NACDL-chapter footprint using the same county-clerk extraction infrastructure. The existing paralegal-led FL civil and small-firm users we already serve stay fully supported — the FL criminal anchor sharpens our focus, it doesn't narrow our customer base.

What We Stand For
Our values
Privacy by Design
We collect only what's needed: your email, watched cases, and integration tokens. No analytics, no tracking pixels, no data sales. Your court data is used solely to power your alerts — never sold or shared.
Respect for Your Time
Every design decision starts with one question: does this save a practitioner time right now? We don't add features to check boxes. If it doesn't make your daily workflow faster, it doesn't ship.
Our Approach
The Sentinel — always watching so you don't have to
DocketRadar embodies the trusted, ever-watchful guardian that protects legal professionals from the chaos of fragmented docket monitoring. We don't seek the spotlight. We earn trust through consistent, reliable performance.
Underneath the watchfulness is a dedication to getting the details right. DocketRadar is a precision tool — built with care, designed for the specific realities of FL state criminal defense (CCIS event codes, county-clerk quirks, docket-entry patterns), and refined through intimate knowledge of how busy criminal defense practitioners actually work.
