115: Chatbots are helpful

Show Notes

While some prospects want to talk to a person at the law firm, many want answers to questions without having to book a call. For example, in family law situations, many clients want to ask questions by texting so their soon-to-be ex-spouse won't overhear.

So chatbots are being widely adopted. And there are lots of options to investigate but only one company, Gideon, is focused 100% on the legal market. My good friend, Jared Correia co-founded Gideon after many years working as a law practice management advisor to solo and small firms.
