Questions, answered plainly.

Can it handle the tone family-law clients need?

It drafts measured, empathetic-but-firm replies you can edit before sending — you set the tone and approve every message. It takes the first pass off your plate; you keep the judgment.

Does it track court deadlines automatically?

It surfaces the deadlines you’ve logged or that appear in your email and calendar, with a daily early-warning — but it does not compute jurisdiction-specific court rules for you. You stay the authority on the calendar.

Is it legal advice?

No. For any legal question it searches current sources and cites them, and tells you to verify in your primary source. It handles the communication and the calendar, not the law.

Does anything send without me?

No — every draft waits for your one-tap approval.
