AI for Law Firms

Your paralegal doesn't need to spend three hours reviewing a contract that AI can summarize in 30 seconds. Let's fix the bottlenecks.

Most law firms I talk to are running on Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther. They've got a decent case management setup but everything around it is manual. Intake is a phone call and a PDF. Document review is a human reading every page. Follow-ups fall through the cracks because someone forgot to update the CRM.

Here's the thing about law firms: you're selling time. Every hour your staff spends on admin is an hour that's not billable. And every call that goes to voicemail is a potential client who calls the next firm on Google.

Common Problems We Solve

Missed Client Calls

A potential PI client calls at 6pm. Nobody's there. They call the next firm. That's a $50,000 case you just lost because nobody picked up the phone. An AI phone agent answers every call, 24/7. It qualifies the lead, collects case details, and books a consultation. It sounds natural, not robotic. The caller doesn't know they're talking to AI.

Client Intake is Slow

Your intake process probably involves a phone call, a PDF form emailed to the client, waiting for them to fill it out (they won't for a week), then manually entering it into Clio. We replace that with a conversational AI intake that adapts based on practice area. Family law gets different questions than estate planning. Everything flows straight into your case management system.

Document Review Takes Forever

Contracts, discovery documents, medical records in PI cases. Someone's reading through hundreds of pages looking for specific clauses or relevant information. AI can summarize documents, flag key clauses, extract dates and parties, and highlight potential issues. Your attorneys still make the decisions, but they're starting from a summary instead of page one.

Billing Leaks

Attorneys forget to log time. It's not intentional, it just happens when you're busy. AI can monitor activity and prompt for time entries, or even draft entries based on email and document activity. We've seen firms recover 10-15% more billable hours just from better time capture.

How We Help

AI Phone Agent

Answers every call. Qualifies leads by practice area. Collects case details. Books consultations. Works after hours, weekends, and holidays. Integrates with Clio, MyCase, or your calendar.

Intake Automation

Conversational forms that feel like talking to a person. Practice-area-specific questions. Auto-populates your case management system. Conflict checks built in.

Document Processing

Contract summarization, discovery review assistance, medical record extraction for PI. AI reads and organizes so your team can focus on strategy.

Follow-up Automation

Leads who don't book get automatic follow-up sequences. Clients get case status updates without calling your office. Deadlines trigger reminders to both staff and clients.

What It Costs

Setup is $2,000 to $3,000. That includes building automations, connecting to your case management system, and training AI on your firm's specific practice areas and processes.

Monthly runs $300 to $600. If you're a PI firm and the AI phone agent captures even one extra case per month, it pays for itself many times over.

FAQ

Is client communication through AI ethical?

The AI handles intake and scheduling, not legal advice. It's clearly positioned as an assistant, not an attorney. We design it to stay within ethical boundaries. Think of it as a really good receptionist, not a lawyer.

Does it work with Clio?

Yes. Also MyCase, PracticePanther, and most other case management platforms. If yours has an API (most do), we can integrate.

What about confidentiality?

All data is encrypted. We don't store case files on our servers. The AI processes information and pushes it to your systems. We can sign an NDA and walk through security on a call.

How long does setup take?

2-3 weeks for most firms. The AI phone agent can be live within a week. Document processing and intake automation take a bit longer because we need to customize for your practice areas.
