We're on a mission to make legal help accessible to every American — for any consumer legal issue. From traffic tickets to DUIs, immigration to personal injury, adoption to landlord-tenant disputes, we're building the platform that finally makes hiring a lawyer easy, affordable, and transparent. We need exceptional people to help us get there.

Founded in 2015 by two former Amazon engineers, Off The Record started by revolutionizing how people fight traffic tickets — and is now expanding to cover all consumer legal needs. OTR has helped hundreds of thousands of people across all 50 states, powered by the largest national network of over 1,000 vetted attorneys.

It all started with a road trip gone wrong. Alex Guirguis and Mark Mikhail — two engineers who helped build Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) — were driving back to Seattle from a camping trip at Crater Lake, Oregon, when all four cars in their group got traffic tickets. Finding the right lawyer was confusing, expensive, and frustrating.
So they built something better.
Most Americans think about hiring a lawyer multiple times a year and never do anything about it. They worry about cost, they don't know where to start, and they assume lawyers will overcharge them. Meanwhile, 80% of Americans can't afford a lawyer at all — even when they desperately need one.
We're here to fix that.
When OTR enters a legal category, legal fees come down, access goes up, and people finally get the help they deserve.
Today, we're a fast-growing, fully remote legal tech company with team members across the country. We're not a law firm — we're the technology platform that makes the legal system work better for consumers, not corporations.
