For law firms · Missouri & the Lake of the Ozarks

Compliant AI for law firms, built by someone who went to law school.

Most AI vendors can build you a tool. They can't tell you whether it puts your bar license at risk. We do both, because the person building it holds a Juris Doctor and configures every system to your ethical obligations.

The real problem

The risk isn't using AI. It's using it without a framework.

Your colleagues are already pasting client facts into consumer chatbots to draft a letter or summarize a deposition. The efficiency is real. So is the exposure: confidentiality breaches, tools that train on your inputs, fabricated citations, and no written policy if the bar ever asks how your firm uses AI.

The answer is not to ban it and fall behind. It's to do it deliberately, with the right tools, the right configuration, and documentation that proves you took your obligations seriously. That's the entire reason this service exists, and it's why it's run by a J.D. rather than a marketing agency.

What we build for firms

AI client intake, drafting, and automation, done for you.

Every system is built around your matters, your templates, and your practice areas, then we run and maintain it. You and your staff stay in control of every output.

Intake & Leads

AI client intake & follow-up

Capture every inquiry, screen for conflicts and fit, and respond fast so good cases don't go cold.

  • 24/7 intake capture and routing
  • First-pass screening and summaries
  • Automated follow-up sequences
Drafting

Document drafting from your precedent

First drafts of letters, contracts, and routine filings generated from your own templates, for you to review and finalize.

  • Trained on your forms, not the open web
  • Contract review and redlining
  • Attorney review built into the workflow
Operations

The administrative grind

The repetitive back-office work that keeps partners off billable matters.

  • Email triage and drafting
  • Meeting and deposition summaries
  • Internal knowledge base for your firm
Subscription & Fixed-Fee Firms

Make your service model scale

If you've promised clients fast turnaround under a flat fee or membership, AI is how two attorneys deliver like five, without cutting corners.

  • First-pass answers to client questions
  • Faster contract turnaround on your terms
  • Attorney sign-off on everything sent
The compliance framework

Anchored to ABA Formal Opinion 512.

On July 29, 2024, the American Bar Association issued its first formal ethics guidance on generative AI. It confirms lawyers can use AI, and sets out the obligations that come with it. We treat that opinion, alongside your state's Rules of Professional Conduct, as the blueprint for every build.

Confidentiality (Model Rule 1.6)Tools configured so client information isn't retained or used to train models, with a written vendor agreement
Competence & oversightWorkflows that keep a lawyer reviewing every output, never auto-sending unreviewed work
Vendor vettingOpinion 512 tells lawyers to vet AI vendors. We document credentials, data handling, and the terms behind every tool we deploy
Written AI use policyA firm policy covering disclosure, supervision, and a clear decision tree for when not to use AI
No fabricated citationsDrafting workflows grounded in your documents, with verification steps so nothing fictitious reaches a court
Documented for auditIf the bar ever asks how your firm uses AI, you have the answer in writing before the question comes

We are an AI implementation vendor, not your law firm. We don't provide legal advice or an opinion on your specific ethical duties. We build, configure, and document AI systems so your attorneys can meet the obligations they already have.

Why a J.D. matters here

You're not buying software. You're buying judgment.

Anyone can connect a chatbot to your inbox. The hard part is knowing what should never be automated, where confidentiality breaks down, and how to document it so it holds up.

That judgment is the product. I've spent years producing legal content at scale with AI-assisted systems I built myself, and I evaluate AI models professionally, so I know precisely where they're useful and where they're dangerous. Paired with a law degree, that means your firm gets efficiency and a defensible record, not one at the expense of the other.

Questions firms ask

Straight answers on AI and your bar license.

Is it even ethical for a lawyer to use AI?
Yes, when it's set up and supervised correctly. ABA Formal Opinion 512 confirms lawyers may use generative AI as long as they meet their existing duties: competence, confidentiality under Model Rule 1.6, supervision of the work, candor to the court, and reasonable fees. We configure and document your systems to those duties. Your state's rules control, and your attorneys remain responsible for every output.
Is AI safe for confidential client information?
It can be, with the right tools and configuration. We build on platforms that offer zero data retention, meaning your inputs aren't stored or used to train any model, and we put a written vendor agreement and firm AI policy in place before anything goes live. Consumer chatbots used casually are the real risk; a properly configured system is the fix.
What is ABA Formal Opinion 512?
Issued July 29, 2024, it's the American Bar Association's first formal ethics opinion on generative AI. It walks through confidentiality, competence, supervision, communicating with clients about AI use, billing, and vetting AI vendors. We use it, alongside your state's Rules of Professional Conduct, as the framework for every law-firm build.
Will AI invent fake cases like in the news?
That happens when lawyers ask a general chatbot to write a brief and file it unchecked. Our drafting workflows are grounded in your own documents and include verification steps, and a lawyer reviews everything before it leaves the firm. We design specifically against that failure mode.
Do you give legal or ethics advice?
No. We're an AI implementation vendor. We don't advise you on your specific ethical obligations or act as your firm's counsel. The founder's J.D. informs how we build and document systems so your attorneys can satisfy the duties they already have.
We're a small or solo firm. Is this overkill?
The opposite. Small and solo firms get the most leverage, because you don't have associates to absorb the repetitive work. Founding-client pricing starts at $2,500 for a compliant setup, and we scope exactly what's worth doing in a free assessment.
