Inside Archie AI: Family Law Fireside Chat & Prompt Workshop
About this session
Family law is unlike any other area of practice. Your clients are navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives, and the last thing you need is technology that adds another layer of complexity. That's why we're sitting down with Alan Funk, Partner at Wechsler Becker to show you real examples of how a family law team uses Archie AI to transform their business. Joined by Jordan Turk, this is an honest, hands-on look at what AI actually does inside a family law practice. No sales pitch, no vague value claims. Just real prompts, real workflows, and real talk about how to run a more organized, more compassionate practice without adding headcount or losing the human touch your clients need most.
- Candid conversation around implementing AI: Hear from Alan on how me manages change, prepares his team, and implements new technologies at his family law firm
- Demonstration of five family-specific AI prompts: See exactly how Alan and his team work within Archie to streamline family law workflows
