LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--My Pocket Lawyer (MPL), a pioneering legal technology company, built for consumers and small businesses, today announces reaching over 20,000 users and significant updates to its AI-powered platform. A response to increased user demand and engagement, these enhancements aim to improve user experiences by boosting the efficiency of the services MPL provides while continuing to uphold the highest standards of precision and reliability.
MPL’s success is driven by its agentic architecture, a unique methodology of orchestrating legal processes into a workflow the company describes as the “building blocks of the law firm of the future.” MPL has developed proprietary software designed to automate and scale functions typically performed by lawyers inside law firms. This approach leverages AI to enhance overall operational efficiency, rather than simply answering questions directly like LLMs such as ChatGPT. Traditionally, individuals and small businesses have struggled with accessing reliable and affordable legal information and services, often deterred by high costs or complex, irrelevant online resources. The MPL platform empowers users with free, precise, and clear legal information, making legal help accessible to anyone.
“We’ve developed a suite of software tools, each designed for specific functions: one for client intake, another for document analysis, one for drafting, and another for knowledge management, among others. This mirrors the structure of a traditional law firm, where different specialists manage different aspects of each client's case. However, we've enhanced this process with automation to make these services more scalable, and ultimately more accessible to everyone,” said Charlie Hernandez, Founder and CEO of MPL.
MPL has distinguished itself from other legal tech platforms by avoiding the direct training of costly models, which reduces development costs. This strategy not only allows savings to be passed on to consumers but also sidesteps issues of data obsolescence and hallucinations that affect its competitors. Since its establishment, MPL has focused on providing hallucination-free legal information, a commitment that has propelled it beyond the largest U.S. law firms in terms of client volume. In just three months since its inception, MPL has supported over 20,000 users with nearly 100,000 legal inquiries, helping more clients than any other U.S. law firm in that timeframe. This steadfast dedication to accuracy underscores MPL’s unique position in the market.
While all software may encounter bugs and errors, MPL has effectively minimized the risk of 'hallucinations' that are often seen with ChatGPT-style models. This success differentiates MPL from other legal technology firms and is achieved through the use of proprietary, purpose-built technology. This technology is specially designed to generate precise answers rather than relying solely on general AI. This approach incorporates several unique features that enhance its functionality and reliability:
- MPL’s platform authentically replicates a lawyer’s decision-making process and automates complex legal workflows without the dependence on traditional model training, distinguishing it from conventional AI models.
- The platform utilizes dynamic, intelligent agents that adapt without constant retraining and incorporates proprietary data feedback loops, ensuring reliable and precise legal outputs, thereby reducing the risk of inaccuracies typical in broader AI applications.
If a user needs specialized assistance, MPL also serves as a vital conduit, efficiently connecting them with a network of attorneys that are vetted and suited to their specific needs. This not only streamlines the process for individuals seeking legal assistance, but also opens a new, cost-effective avenue for legal professionals to reach potential clients and manage their cases more efficiently.
“My Pocket Lawyer's technological strides are not just about innovation; they represent a leap toward bridging the justice gap for countless individuals and small businesses. This human-centric approach, powered by AI, is opening new market frontiers, presenting a substantial opportunity to reach and help millions across the country,” Charlie stated.
MPL is actively cultivating strategic partnerships with law firms, legal organizations and business groups nationwide to streamline legal accessibility for individuals and small businesses alike. These efforts are set to grow over the coming months, reinforcing MPL's commitment to enhancing legal accessibility and supporting community and economic growth.
