AI advice for lawyers who work alone.(or with a select few)
Which tools are worth it, how to set them up safely, and what to skip. Straight answers from a solo attorney who's done it.
— no sales pitch.
Eighty unread emails and a closing on Thursday.
You know AI could take some of this off your plate. But every vendor says they're the one.
Some of it really does help. A lot of it doesn't. I'll tell you which is which.
I run a solo practice. I rebuilt it around AI.
Email that files itself to the right matter. Deal summaries I don't have to write. A list each morning of what actually needs me. I made plenty of mistakes getting there.
Now I help other solos and small firms do the same, minus the mistakes.
- EmailGetting it sorted and filed without you touching it.
- DocumentsHaving AI read contracts and loan docs first, so you're not starting cold.
- IntakeTurning a client's first email into a file that's ready to work on.
- DeadlinesOne place that tells you, and your staff, what's due across every matter.
- Your teamGetting your paralegal and associates on the same tools, used the same way.
- Your softwareWhether your practice-management system is helping or in the way.
It still needs a human.
Some of these tools really are that good. A lot of them are just hype.
None of them should be running your practice. Someone who knows the work has to decide what AI gets to touch, and check what it hands back.
I'm that human. And I'll show you how to be one in your own practice.
The books haven't changed. Everything else has.
We talk.
Tell me about your practice and what's eating your day.

You get a plan.
In writing, in plain English. Take it to whoever you like.
