Set up a pretend version of your firm, call it, and see exactly what lands on your desk afterwards.
Good. Let it. Standby Lawyer answers, follows your approved intake, gathers the facts, separates what is known from what is not, and brings legal questions back to you.

“When is my hearing?” can be a confirmed calendar answer. “Should I accept this settlement?” belongs to the lawyer. Standby Lawyer follows the line you draw.


Approved payment workflows keep moving without turning you into a full time collections department. When routine follow up stops being routine, you hear about it.
Standby Lawyer prepares. You decide. Legal questions go to the lawyer. Consequential actions follow the firm's rules and required approvals.
The phone is the first proof, not the whole product. The finished Standby Lawyer carries approved administrative work from first contact through the life of the matter.
Your phone rings while you're doing something else. Standby Lawyer answers using the intake and Practice Pack you approved.
You get what was collected, what's missing, what's urgent and what actually needs your decision.
You said yes. Standby Lawyer prepares what comes next. You approve it before it goes out.
You did the work. Standby Lawyer tracks what was paid, what wasn't and what needs follow up.
Matter creation, documents, communications, tasks and a history of what happened.
Something is coming up. You should not have to remember to remember it.
Automatic. Approval first. Notify only. You set the boundaries.
Understand what is happening in a matter and prepare for what comes next using the workspace.

The AI can propose an action. Your rules determine whether the action is actually allowed.

When Standby Lawyer reaches a boundary, it stops, brings the issue back to you or asks for your approval instead of improvising.
Your clients. Your judgment. The work you went to law school for.
