Why preparation helps

Clients often arrive at consultations unsure what to bring or what will happen. They may forget important details or documents, which can lead to follow-up meetings.

What to include

  • What the consultation covers
  • How long it typically lasts
  • Documents to bring
  • Questions the attorney may ask
  • Questions the client may want to ask
  • Fees and payment information if applicable

Practice area specifics

AI can help draft guides for each practice area. A family law consultation guide will differ from a business law guide.

Ease anxiety

Many people feel nervous meeting a lawyer. A friendly guide that explains the process helps them feel more comfortable.

Send it automatically

Include the guide in consultation confirmation emails. AI can help write the confirmation message.

Attorney review

Make sure every guide is accurate and doesn't promise outcomes.

Follow up after the consultation

AI can help draft a recap template that explains next steps and how to engage the firm.

Better consultations

Prepared clients lead to more productive conversations and better decisions about whether to move forward.

Make it accessible

Offer the guide in formats that work for your clients, such as an email, a printable PDF, or a page on your website. If many clients speak another language, consider a reviewed translation. AI can help you produce clean, easy-to-read versions of each format, and staff can send the right one with every confirmation without extra effort.
