Hello friends. I would appreciate if you can help me translate this sentence to latin.

I am starting a litigation support/private investigation company and this sentence feels like a good motto.

So this phrase aims to affirm that truth is a weapon against injustice.

I am sorry if I messed up In english, it’s not my native language.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone else feel that magis might be preferable to plus here?

Interesting ambiguity in English: Nothing hurts more... = Nothing causes more pain / Nothing causes more damage. Laedere can mean "to vex," but it is especially good as a word connected with damage or injury, so it may be best to use, since the OP want to say truth is a weapon, and therefore causes injury. I might come up with "Nil dolentius veritate" (Nothing [is] more painful than truth) for maximum compression...but it would have a different overtone.
