Cold Call Playbook

"That's good to hear. Quick follow-up — does your current system generate a timestamped audit trail that shows exactly which AI tool was used, which documents it touched, and that you personally verified the output before filing? Because that's what courts are now requiring. Florida already mandates it on every AI-assisted filing. Texas requires a personal certification. And 300 more standing orders went out in the second half of 2025 alone. The attorneys who think they're fine right now are the ones getting the sanctions letters. The trial takes fifteen minutes and costs nothing — it'll show you exactly what the documentation standard looks like when it's built in from day one."

"That skepticism is completely earned — most of those tools were built for marketing, not for the courtroom. But here's the thing: the compliance issue doesn't care whether you want AI or not. If your firm is using any tool that touches client files — research platforms, practice management software, anything cloud-based — and it can't produce a documented verification trail, you're already carrying exposure under ABA Formal Opinion 512. That's not a sales pitch. That's what the opinion says. The Lex Arca trial is free, preloaded with real case files, and it takes fifteen minutes to see what court-ready AI documentation actually looks like. You don't have to buy anything — but you should know what the standard is."

"I completely understand — that's exactly why this trial was built the way it was. There's nothing to install, nothing to upload, nothing to configure. Two complete litigation cases are already loaded inside the vault. You log in and you're working in under two minutes. The reason it matters now — not next quarter — is that courts are not waiting. Over 300 standing orders governing AI use in filings were issued in the last six months of 2025. The attorneys who got caught weren't careless. They were busy. Can I send you the link and let you decide on your own clock? If you never open it, it costs you nothing. If you do — you'll know in fifteen minutes whether the standard your cases need is there."

"$349 a month for a solo attorney. But before that number matters — consider what you're comparing it to. The average attorney loses between 25 and 50 percent of billable time when they reconstruct entries from memory at end of day. The Neural Billing module inside Lex Arca captures that time automatically — most attorneys find the platform pays for itself within sixty days just on recovered billing alone. And that's before you factor in what a single fee dispute, a sanctions proceeding, or a bar complaint costs in time and reputation. The Founding Firms rate locks your price permanently if you move now — I'd let Kim walk you through that piece. But honestly — start with the trial. See the platform working on a real case. Then the number makes sense in context."

"It's a new platform — and that's actually the point. Lex Arca was built in direct response to the compliance gap that every other legal AI platform has. Harvey, CoCounsel, Clio Copilot — they're all routing your client files through cloud infrastructure you don't control. Courts and the ABA are now asking for proof of exactly what those tools can't give you. The product was developed with input from an active Superior Court Judge. It's live, the trial is preloaded with real case files, and you can see it working today. The attorneys who move first lock a Founding Firms rate that never changes. The ones who wait pay full price and lose the window. The trial costs nothing — just your time."

"That concern is the exact reason Lex Arca exists. Every other litigation AI platform routes your client files through their servers to generate output. Lex Arca runs local-first — your files stay in your own storage environment. The AI processes inside your vault, not through a public cloud. Your client data is architecturally excluded from the platform's infrastructure. And that matters beyond preference now — institutional clients are starting to audit this. Large firms are screening AI vendors on data residency. The courts and the ABA are asking for it. The compliance advantage isn't just about protection — it's about being able to prove it when someone asks. The trial is the fastest way to see how the architecture actually works. Fifteen minutes. Want me to send the link now?"

"I hear that constantly — and I completely understand it. But the compliance clock doesn't slow down with your docket. Florida issued its AI disclosure mandate in January. Texas followed. Ohio banned AI outright in certain filings. That's not a trend that pauses. The attorneys who got the first round of sanctions weren't unprepared on purpose — they just kept deferring until the order arrived. I'm not asking you to commit to anything. I'm asking you to spend fifteen minutes in a free trial with two real case files already loaded, so you know exactly what the standard looks like before it gets handed to you by a judge. That's it. Can I send you the link?"

"A timer captures how long you worked — but it doesn't capture what you did, what you accessed, or what any AI tool touched during that session. And that distinction now matters. ABA Formal Opinion 512 addresses this directly under Rule 1.5: AI-assisted billing carries documentation obligations that go beyond duration. If a client challenges a bill — or if a court scrutinizes billing records in a sanctions proceeding — a time entry without an auditable activity trail is hard to defend. Lex Arca's Neural Billing captures the actual file-access events that generate your billing — automatically, with timestamps, cryptographically signed. The trial will show you what that looks like on a real case. It takes fifteen minutes. Want me to send the link?"
