SimplyConvert’s Camp Lejeune database is the largest private collection of historical documents available to support attorneys in representing Marines and their families in the Camp Lejeune litigation. With over 3.2 million records and growing, our AI-powered technology can help find and highlight evidence of clients’ time at the base, filling gaps in government data and building individual timelines. By connecting essential records, including muster rolls, yearbooks, and other Marine Corps documentation, attorneys can more easily substantiate claims and provide historical profiles of each Marine’s service, ensuring accurate representation for those impacted by the Camp Lejeune contamination.
Semper Fi AI merges historical documentation with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, revolutionizing how printed records are used at scale. Searching millions of pages for evidence of an individual’s time at Camp Lejeune would traditionally take an extraordinary amount of time and effort—time that many veterans and their families simply don’t have.
With AI technology at its core, SimplyConvert streamlines this process by scanning vast archives of muster rolls, yearbooks, and directories to identify critical details in seconds. What once required weeks of manual searching can now be accomplished in moments, empowering law firms to build robust cases with unmatched speed and precision.
By combining the depth of historical records with the efficiency of AI, SimplyConvert ensures attorneys have the tools to substantiate claims quickly and effectively, helping veterans secure the justice they deserve without delay.

SimplyConvert’s Gold Form includes direct links to critical historical documents, curated to substantiate each Marine’s presence at Camp Lejeune. This level of proof is essential to meet the Navy’s standards for exposure validation.
Creating Semper Fi AI was a monumental effort to help attorneys substantiate their clients’ time at Camp Lejeune. SimplyConvert team members dedicated months to scanning thousands of rolls of microfilm and thousands of individual documents at the National Archives and Marine Corps Base Quantico. These records, accessible only on-site and requiring specialized equipment and procedures, were painstakingly digitized, with each scanned page bringing the vision of the Semper Fi AI closer to fruition.
In addition to institutional archives, the team sought materials from diverse sources. They scoured eBay, online platforms, and antique stores, acquiring historical yearbooks, phone directories, and other Camp Lejeune artifacts. Private collectors also contributed by generously sharing digital archives to support Marines and their families. These efforts enriched the database with rare and unique resources unavailable through traditional channels.
The result is a robust collection of over 3.2 million pages, enabling attorneys to construct precise and comprehensive timelines. This tool empowers legal teams to secure justice and full compensation for veterans and their families. SimplyConvert’s Camp Lejeune database stands as more than a legal resource—it is a testament to innovation, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to supporting the Marine community.

Jessie Hoerman said an archive of historical materials she has collected could help many bolster their challenging water contamination cases.
No. Neither the Plaintiff’s Leadership Group (PLG) nor the Navy possesses muster rolls dated after 1959, nor do they have access to our privately held collection of cruise books and yearbooks. The PLG (and presumably the Navy) only has access to publicly available records—such as the Globe newspaper archives, early muster rolls, and materials housed at the Evidence Depository maintained by Bell Legal Group.
Rubris is reportedly linking claimant data to government sources and the housing database, including the 2018 ATSDR Morbidity Study Database and the Civilian Occupation Study. However, our analysis indicates that these studies include overlapping data and collectively cover fewer than 60,000 claimants.
No. The responsibility for establishing causation lies with the claimant, not the Navy.
Yes. Semper Fi AI has been trained to assist with the analysis of historical military records.
Additionally, we have a team of experienced researchers available to conduct onsite research at the National Archives and can obtain official military records for an additional fee.
SimplyConvert is an independent legal technology company and has not been contracted or compensated by the Plaintiff’s Leadership Group, the Navy, or the Department of Justice. Over the past two years, we have developed the Military Database and trained Semper Fi AI without external funding.
We are working to establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with the Navy to allow for secure, comprehensive database access. Until that agreement is finalized, claimant substantiation will be delivered in a simplified, easily accessible format.
If the Navy ultimately declines access to the database, documentation will instead be provided directly to each law firm as downloadable PDFs. These will need to be manually uploaded to the Navy Portal, which may significantly slow the review process for each claimant.
Absolutely. We encourage you to do so. We’re proud to offer your clients exclusive access to historical documentation through customized client portals, enabling them to view and download relevant records directly. These rare materials can provide meaningful support to clients as they pursue long-overdue justice.
Additionally, if you have clients who possess documents or materials they believe could help other Marines and are willing to contribute them, we welcome those additions to the database. Please send an email to CLJarchive@simplyconvert.com with item descriptions, applicable years, battalions, and Marine divisions for each submission. Together, we can strengthen the collective effort to substantiate service and exposure histories.
Our data for civilian employees is limited. The Navy has acknowledged the difficulty in substantiating civilian employment claims and has suggested that future verification may require individual record requests.

SimplyConvert provides each client with an EO Score, which is based on their injury and exposure data. This score is designed to support attorneys in guiding their clients through the decision to accept the EO offer or wait. The EO Score is dynamic and will update as new information or guidance becomes available from the Plaintiff’s Leadership Group (PLG), Navy, Settlement Masters, or Department of Justice.
There is a fixed fee for initial access to Semper Fi AI. If the tool successfully substantiates at least 30 days of exposure, an additional fee is applied but deferred until settlement. If substantiation is unsuccessful, no further charges apply.
To learn more about pricing and how the tool can support your firm’s Camp Lejeune cases, please book a meeting with our team.
Yes. Substantiation costs may be treated as a client expense at your discretion. SimplyConvert can provide an ethics opinion to support the appropriateness of these charges.
