OUR STORY
A 92-day fight over one permit file.
FOIA FAST started in West Palm Beach after our founder spent three months trying to pry a single inspection report out of a county clerk. The third attorney we called said the quiet part out loud: “This should be one button.”
So we built the button. Not to replace lawyers — to delete the busywork that keeps public records from the people already entitled to them.
Florida first
Chapter 119 is the most demanding records law in the country. We started where it's hardest.
We work for the requester
Never the agency. Never the contractor. The information asymmetry is the entire point.
AI drafts, you decide
Every letter carries your name. We never pretend the software is your lawyer.
SMALL TEAM, DEEP BENCH
Small team, deep bench.
