What the FTC said about DoNotPay
On January 16, 2025, the FTC voted 5–0 to finalize a consent order against DoNotPay. The FTC's complaint alleged the company marketed itself as “the world's first robot lawyer” capable of “fighting corporations, beating bureaucracy, and suing anyone at the press of a button” without evidence its AI performed like a licensed attorney, and that its generated documents were never reviewed by one. The final order requires $193,000 in monetary relief, notice to subscribers from 2021–2023, and prohibits DoNotPay from claiming its service can substitute for a professional service (legal, financial, or otherwise) without competent evidence.
