AI supervision for solo and small-firm lawyers.
The AI drafts. You verify. You sign your name and take responsibility.
The AI drafts. You sign.
Practicing NJ probate lawyer. No paralegal. Builds his own tools.
I run a New Jersey probate practice with no paralegal. Everything on this site was built because I needed it on a Tuesday.
The thesis
Supervision is the whole job.
The rules of professional conduct never cared who typed the first draft. They care who checked it and who signed it. AI changes the first part and leaves the second part exactly where it was: on you.
Delegate
Hand the machine a defined task with the sources it may use and the format you want back. The way you would brief a new associate, minus the assumption that it knows anything.
Verify
Open every citation. Read the actual source. Check every number, date, and name against the file. A confident paragraph is not evidence.
Ratify
Sign your name to it and note what you checked. If you cannot stand behind the output, it does not leave your office. That is the whole job.
My written verification method, The Ratify Protocol, is what the training is built on. It is referenced throughout the site and taught in full inside the ladder.
The courthouse
Three rooms. All free.
Proof that I build, not just talk. The tools are the same ones running in my practice. The news and the writing are how I keep them honest.
The AI Chambers
Working tools I built for my own practice and opened to yours. Ethics checks, verification, disclosures, trust accounting, drafting.
The AI Record
Legal AI news every morning. New Jersey first, new before recycled, and nothing that does not matter to a practicing lawyer.
The AI Sidebar
Long-form analysis. The supervision thesis, worked through one rule, one workflow, and one mistake at a time.
Start with this one
NJ IOLTA Trust Accounting
Three-way reconciliation for a New Jersey trust account. The tool I built to get through my own audit, and the one I would hand any solo first.
Using ChatGPT to draft a demand letter
Scenario evaluated against NJ RPCs
Workable with disclosure, verification, and post-draft review by counsel.
I do not recommend a tool I have not run on my own files, and I do not teach a workflow I do not use on a Tuesday.

Invite me to speakImplementation
Hands-on setup, on-site or remote, from $2,500+. You keep a written shop manual. Consulting only, never legal advice.
How it worksImplementation is a consulting service, separate from my law practice. It delivers 5 things in writing, the shop manual, so the setup survives the day I leave.
Start with the policy.
A one-page policy you can adopt this week. It sets the rules for which tools your firm uses, what never goes into them, who verifies what, and how you document it. It is the first thing I ask every firm for, and almost nobody has one.
