Virtual Legal Assistant for Law Firms: A Protected Line When Clients Face Police

Give every client a protected line: the firm's Virtual Legal Assistant joins an encounter with police, investigators or regulators, helps the client say less and avoid unintended consent, asks for the statute or authority, classifies the encounter and leaves a timestamped record for counsel. An add-on any firm can offer its clients around the clock.

0:00The encounter comes first

A traffic stop. An investigator at the door. A regulator on the phone. The questions start now, and the lawyer usually hears about it days later.

0:14One platform shaped around your firm

Lawnova is one platform shaped around your firm. Today: the Virtual Legal Assistant, a protected line for every client.

0:25A protected line

Each client gets private access to the firm's legal assistant, ready the moment an encounter turns serious. On speaker, it joins the conversation.

0:38Say less, consent to nothing

It helps the client stay calm, say less and avoid consent they never meant to give, and it can invoke the right to counsel.

0:50Which authority, which statute

It asks the officer or agent to name the offense and the statute, regulation, warrant or order behind the request, and whether the client is free to leave.

1:04What kind of encounter it is

It tells a voluntary contact from a detention, an arrest, a search or a regulatory demand, and adjusts as things escalate.

1:16A record for counsel

Everything is recorded with timestamps: what was said, what authority was claimed, what was refused. The firm reviews it as a structured record.

1:30Your firm's own knowledge

It starts from federal constitutional protections, then adds your state's statutes and your firm's own knowledge base. Your firm sets it up for its clients.

1:42Comfort around the clock

An add-on any firm can offer: comfort for clients around the clock, and a hand on the pulse for the firm. Book a demo at lawnova.pro. Lawnova. Legal Intelligence Operating System for any law firm.
