JDAI helps solo and small law firms adopt artificial intelligence confidently, ethically, and in full compliance with ABA and state bar ethics requirements. Attorney-led. Nationally focused.
A practical, ethics-grounded framework for solo and small law firm attorneys navigating AI adoption, tool selection, and compliance — built on ABA Formal Opinion 512 and Florida Bar Ethics Opinion 24-1, and applicable to every jurisdiction.
No spam. One email when the book is available.
Your attorneys are already using ChatGPT, Clio Duo, or Westlaw AI — often without firm policies, client disclosures, or a consistent review process. That creates ethics exposure and operational risk at the same time.
Competent AI adoption is not just picking a tool. It means knowing where AI fits, where it does not, and how your firm supervises the work product — before a bar inquiry, a sanctions order, or a client problem makes the decision for you.
AI use without clear guardrails can create confidentiality, supervision, and competence problems before anyone realizes they exist. Courts have sanctioned attorneys in more than 1,200 documented cases.
More than half of law firms have no written AI policy. Without one, every AI decision is improvised — and improvised decisions create exposure that a written policy would have prevented.
Without a workflow, attorneys bounce between tools, prompts, and manual cleanup instead of getting a real productivity gain. Adoption without structure rarely delivers on the promise.
If nobody owns quality control, AI output can look polished while still being incomplete, inaccurate, or not ready for client-facing use. AI confidence is not the same as AI accuracy.
This quick assessment gives you a practical snapshot of your firm's AI readiness — focused on governance, oversight, training, and implementation maturity, not a generic tech score.
Answer four questions and get an immediate score, readiness stage, and the next priority to address first.
We help firms move from scattered experimentation to controlled, defensible, useful implementation — with an attorney's eye on ethics at every step.
Build internal rules for confidentiality, review, approval, and responsible use across your firm.
Compare vendors and products through an attorney-led lens focused on fit, risk, and supervision.
Turn AI into repeatable staff behavior with training, prompt standards, and review checkpoints.
Continuing strategic support as tools, bar guidance, and internal priorities evolve.
Start with a discovery conversation and identify the highest-value first move for your firm.
JDAI Consultants was built to help solo and small law firms make thoughtful, defensible decisions about AI adoption. The goal is not hype. It is structure, clarity, and implementation that fits the way a real firm operates.
We focus on the operational layer that most firms are missing: governance, workflow design, supervision, and training that attorneys and staff can actually use — built on the ethics framework that already governs your practice.
Practical advice, plain language, and recommendations shaped around your firm's actual size, risk tolerance, and existing tools. Firms nationwide, with particular depth in Florida.
Licensed attorney, J.D., M.B.A., and author of Responsible AI for the Small Law Firm — the definitive practical guide to AI governance for solo and small firm practitioners.
Book note: Responsible AI for the Small Law Firm is the intellectual foundation of every JDAI consulting engagement. The four-factor evaluation framework, tier system, and verification protocol in the book are the same frameworks used in client work.
We simplify decisions so firm leadership can understand what matters, what does not, and what should happen next — without technical jargon or vendor pressure.
Everything is designed to be used by attorneys and staff in real workflows, not to sit in a binder. Governance that is not implemented is not governance.
Every recommendation is filtered through the bar rules that govern your practice. Competence, confidentiality, supervision, and candor come before any productivity claim.
No enterprise bloat. No unnecessary complexity. The structure a 1–10 attorney firm actually needs — not a scaled-down version of what a 500-attorney firm would build.
David is available for state bar CLE presentations, local bar association events, law school guest lectures, malpractice insurer workshops, and firm-level training sessions on AI governance and ethics compliance.
JDAI helps firms evaluate, govern, and implement AI in a way that is useful, supervised, and aligned with professional obligations.
We create a practical internal framework for how your firm uses AI — rules for approved tools, review requirements, staff responsibilities, and where human oversight is mandatory — grounded in ABA Formal Opinion 512 and your state bar's guidance.
Not every AI product belongs in a law firm. We evaluate tools through the four-factor framework: data confidentiality risk, ethics compliance, practice area fit, and cost relative to firm size. Consumer tier vs. enterprise. What a DPA actually covers. What opt-out means vs. zero-retention.
We build the systems, training materials, and workflows that make AI adoption stick — how AI is used, how output is verified, where attorneys stay in control, and how to build a verification habit before it becomes necessary.
For firms that want a continuing advisor, we provide ongoing strategic support as tools evolve, bar guidance develops, and internal questions emerge. The landscape changes fast. A retainer keeps your governance current without requiring you to track it yourself.
Start with a discovery conversation and identify the right first step based on your current tools, workflow, and risk profile.
Tell us about your firm and where AI questions are coming up. This is a straightforward intake — not a sales funnel.
Whether your firm is exploring AI for the first time or trying to get control of existing usage, the first step is understanding where you are now and what kind of structure you need next.
Your intake has been received. We will be in touch shortly to schedule a discovery conversation.
