Why I Built The Plaintiff (Brief History)
Over time, I observed and personally felt the deep stigma attached to seeking help for mental health, relationships, marriage, abuse, and personal struggles. In many societies, especially within our context, people are ashamed to speak openly or visit a therapist or counselor. There were moments when I myself needed professional help but held back, not because it wasn't necessary, but because of fear, shame, and the absence of a safe, private option.
That experience sparked a simple but powerful question:
What if people could access professional mental health support anonymously, without fear or judgment?
From that question came the foundation for a platform that allows users to chat privately with verified mental health professionals, securely, anonymously, and on their own terms.
As a lawyer, I also encountered another recurring problem. I had friends in the diaspora who urgently needed legal support, immigration advice, contract reviews, or guidance back home, but struggled to find trusted attorneys remotely. I realized that legal help should not be limited by geography. This inspired the legal arm of the platform, designed to connect users, especially those in the diaspora, with verified legal practitioners seamlessly.
Beyond law and mental health, I am a strong advocate for education and workforce development. I have long believed that professionals, especially educators, should have accessible ways to earn, grow, and share their expertise. This belief shaped the inclusion of teachers and tutors on the platform, allowing them to offer services, access opportunities, and generate income in a flexible digital environment.
Practical professional challenges also influenced the platform's tools. Lawyers, for instance, rely heavily on physical diaries for court appearances and case management, yet these can be forgotten, damaged, or costly. This led to the creation of a digital case diary, ensuring reliability, accessibility, and efficiency.
Similarly, the idea for pay-as-you-go virtual meeting hosting emerged from a real need. Many professionals and individuals do not always require monthly subscriptions for virtual meetings. A flexible system where users pay only for the meetings they host removes financial pressure and improves access.
To support professionalism and financial transparency, the platform also integrates e-invoicing, receipts, and financial tracking tools, helping professionals maintain proper records especially in light of evolving regulatory and tax requirements.
Finally, I wanted to encourage professionals to transform their knowledge into lasting value. The platform enables easy publication and sale of professional guides, e-books, and digital resources, allowing expertise to become both impact and income.
The Plaintiff is therefore not just a platform, it is the result of real challenges, real gaps, and a desire to create ethical, accessible, and dignified solutions for professionals and those who need them.
