I used to feel constantly behind on administrative work: reviewing potential case intakes, scheduling consultations, initial client communication, and tracking marketing efforts. Most distressing was having too many potential new client inquiries but too little time to respond the way I wanted to each one – so they piled up.
Then AI solutions for attorneys broke on the scene, and I was as clueless as anyone about how they could help me. I didn’t have a tech background - I'd never written a line of code in my life. But I was curious. I learned how to ask the right questions and soon built my first solution - Bettie. Bettie triages, responds to, and organizes my client intake system in seconds a day – not hours. Now, those intakes never back up, and that stress is a thing of the past. Using Bettie frees up hours each week, allowing me to focus on client advocacy, billable work, and reducing the need for expensive virtual assistants. It has transformed my practice and provided the solo practitioner support I desperately needed, giving me more time and more calm while enhancing my legal consulting efforts.
