Straight answers about legal AI that runs in your office.

No. DilloLex removes repetitive, low-value document work so your staff can do higher-value work. Every output is decision support that your team reviews and your supervising attorney approves. The judgment stays human.

We benchmark against what the work actually costs a Nevada firm, and we keep every input conservative. Salary figures come from BLS OEWS wage data for the Las Vegas metro, using the lower number where sources differ: paralegals about $61,550, legal assistants about $50,980, and law clerks about $60,000 a year. For the value of the time the appliance gives back, we use deliberately low billable rates, below typical Nevada market: $250 an hour for an attorney, $200 for a law clerk, $150 for a paralegal, $75 for a legal assistant. We never count the same hour twice as both a salary cost and billable value. The hour estimates are illustrative figures meant to model a typical firm. On a conservative read the appliance offsets roughly $1,363 a month and pays for itself in about three to four months. The full breakdown, with every source and assumption shown, is in the ROI guide.

It reads them (OCR, in English & Spanish), proposes clean names, and files them into the matter. It flags and redacts the PII/PHI you authorize, assembles Bates stamped exhibit, disclosure, and demand packages, and proposes rule-based deadlines into a calendar feed. On Nevada matters, it reads the triggering date out of an order or filed document and proposes the resulting deadlines as drafts. Auto-naming is configured for your firm during onboarding. See How it works.

No. DilloLex proposes; your staff disposes. Nothing is renamed, redacted, calendared, or sent without a person approving it.

No. They save the client's files to the matter folder in the cloud storage your firm already uses. The appliance watches that folder, pulls each new file automatically, and drops the finished, organized work back in a "Ready for review" folder. (Google Drive is connected today.) There's no portal to log into and nothing new for your team to learn.

The appliance sits on your office network with no inbound internet access and an encrypted disk. All AI reasoning is built to run on the appliance your firm owns, so no client or confidential content is ever sent to any outside AI service. DilloLex helps you control what leaves your network. It does not replace your professional duty to protect client confidences. We document the exact data flow with you before go-live. See Security.

No. DilloLex is designed so that all AI reasoning, including drafting and analysis, runs on the appliance your firm owns. No client or confidential content is sent to Anthropic or any other outside AI service. The appliance still connects to the firm's own cloud storage and the tools the firm selects, so it is not isolated from the internet. The scope is specifically that no outside AI service is in the loop.

The drive is encrypted at rest and keyed to the appliance's secure hardware, so a removed unit reveals nothing usable.

A BAA with DilloLex is not applicable: DilloLex has no standing access to your appliance or your files. We do not create, receive, maintain, or transmit your client data, so we are not your business associate. The appliance and the data on it are yours. Because the AI reasoning is designed to run on the appliance rather than an outside service, protected health information is not handed to an outside AI vendor for drafting. You remain responsible for your own HIPAA obligations for the cloud storage and other services your firm connects.

For the appliance as designed: none. The appliance runs its AI locally on your hardware, so no outside AI account is required. Because no client content goes to an outside service, there is no outside model that could train on your matters.

Where DilloLex hosts the engine, it uses a Claude API key managed by DilloLex, not your firm, and your client files are not sent to any outside AI service.

No. DilloLex does not replace Westlaw or Lexis and does not depend on your research subscription, so keep using whatever you already pay for. DilloLex handles the document work: organizing the file, drafting from your firm's own templates, and assembling exhibits and disclosures, alongside the research tools you already use.

No. DilloLex is document automation software that works alongside your practice-management system. It organizes and assembles documents; Clio, Outlook, and your DMS stay your system of record. The matter structure DilloLex builds is internal processing state for the document work and stays out of the way of your system of record.

Google Drive is connected today. We publish a calendar feed you can add to Outlook, Google Calendar, or Clio. If your stack is different, ask us; we add connectors based on what our firms use.

Litigation Intelligence is a set of pre-trial preparation memos that DilloLex builds from its own corpus of appellate decisions. For the judge on your matter, the memo shows what the corpus reveals about the facts, exhibits, and arguments that moved that judge toward affirmance, which errors led to reversal, and the affirmance and reversal rates from that same corpus. For opposing counsel, it surfaces the arguments and authorities they reuse, so your opening motion can address them up front instead of reacting later. The corpus is the same one DilloLex uses to draft briefs and research authority. Every finding cites a source document and page, is flagged for verification, and waits for the attorney to review, check, and weigh it. It supports your decisions. It does not predict them. Strategy and ethics stay with your team.

No. Every finding in a Litigation Intelligence memo comes from DilloLex's own corpus of appellate decisions: the source documents, the outcome records, and the published opinions in our index. We use no outside judicial-ratings sites, no advocacy databases, and no commercial litigation-analytics products. DilloLex computes the affirmance and reversal rates from that corpus, and every data point cites the underlying opinion so you can read it yourself.

Reference content ships as a dated snapshot and may not reflect the most current law. Your firm remains responsible for verifying authority and currency; DilloLex flags reference material with its snapshot date so the age is always visible. Deadline computation that depends on current court rules is flagged for your docketing process rather than calculated silently.

Your work is backed up to the cloud storage you already control, so nothing is lost. Because the software is containerized and the hardware standardized, the appliance can be rebuilt and your matters restored from your own backup.

The appliance is yours once it is set up, and it runs on your network whether or not DilloLex exists. Your finished work is standard PDF and Word files in the cloud storage you already control, so nothing is locked in a proprietary format or held hostage. Because the AI runs on the appliance itself rather than an outside subscription, there is no AI account that could lapse and shut the drafting off. The box keeps running on the hardware you own.

You are. DilloLex is decision support; the supervising attorney reviews, verifies, and approves all work product and retains every professional and ethical obligation to the client.
