Free legal literacy — Dallas / Fort Worth

Know the moment before it becomes a problem.

Fair Notice teaches neurodivergent adults to recognize legal risk before it becomes legal trouble — and trains the courts, attorneys, and agencies who serve them to see the difference between a bad decision and a capacity failure.

Everything we do is free.

Adults learning together in a community classroom setting

Most justice-system contact isn't about intent

It's an unopened notice, a missed deadline, a document signed because someone was waiting, a condition nobody explained. Neurodivergent adults are heavily overrepresented at every stage of the justice system — not because they make worse choices, but because the system was not built with their capacity in mind.

Those moments are readable in advance. They are teachable. And they are preventable.

~1 in 4

Adults in custody estimated to meet criteria for ADHD

Against roughly 1 in 20 in the general adult population.

Almost none

Are identified anywhere in the case file

Very few jurisdictions screen for neurodevelopmental conditions at any stage of a case.

What we teach

Recognize. Stop. Escalate.

Fourteen sessions. Six real-life contexts. The same three moves every time — practiced until they arrive automatically under pressure, which is the only condition where they matter.

Step 1

RECOGNIZE

This is one of the moments.

Step 2

STOP

Nothing gets signed or ignored.

Step 3

ESCALATE

Call the person on my card.

You are not being asked to know the answer. You are being asked to notice the question.

Two programs. Both free.

For neurodivergent adults

A 14-session course on the everyday moments that carry legal weight — paperwork, deadlines, signing under pressure, reporting requirements, police contact, and money. Taught in plain language, built around real scenarios.

No diagnosis required. You leave with a card: three steps and three real names and numbers to call.

For courts and agencies

We run the program. You watch the data.

You change nothing — not conditions, not notices, not charging, not sentencing, not court process. We add a service on top of your existing operation and track outcomes against a comparison group so you can see whether it works.
