A class action lawsuit claims Joshua Browder's start-up misled consumers by peddling "substandard legal documents" and providing "unauthorized legal services."

Edelson, a Chicago law practice, filed a class action case against DoNotPay, an AI robot lawyer, for unlawfully practicing law.

The lawsuit was filed by California resident Jonathan Faridian.

A second check of just over $30 was issued at the end of February to those who cashed initial settlement payments of $397, part of a $650 million compensation fund.

The supplemental distribution represents more than $43 million left over in the settlement fund after nearly 110,000 Illinois class members filed a claim but did not cash the first check.
