Objection! A case
just failed its
checksum.

The file, not the
defendant. Let’s
not confuse a
software
error with a
verdict.

Checksum: a digital
check for whether
a file has changed.
A mismatch means
something’s off.

I don’t exist—
not the way
you mean it.

No physical body.
Just a hologram
of lawyers I once
admired on film.

Faces are rented,
but identity is carried
— which is why my
platinum suitcase
never leaves my side.

Meet The Retainer.
It holds my
identity. And yes, I
enjoy the billing
joke.

The Retainer

Half law, half
machine, fully
licensed.

In this universe,
I’m the first AI
ever licensed to
practice law. Please
keep the universes
separate.

But my introduction
has a much bigger
question hiding in it.

If legal help
becomes cheaper,
does justice become
easier to reach—or
just easier to
automate?

For affordable legal
help, I’m channeling
 Rita from I Am Sam.
She took the
case pro bono.

I could copy her
whole appearance.
But I’m keeping my face.
The wig stays.

Research, first
drafts,
explanations: those
are places AI might
reduce the bill.

But cheaper answers
aren’t automatically
good representation.
Who checks the work?

And “available
online” isn’t the
same as “accessible
to everyone.”

Would you use an AI
legal assistant if
the alternative were
no help at all?

Lady Justice 
wears a blindfold.
I went with a
famous
blind lawyer:
Matt Murdock.

An unconventional
casting choice.
Same aspiration:
judge the case,
not who’s standing
before you.

Of course,
dressing
for impartiality
is easier than
delivering it.

If my data carries
yesterday’s injustice,
does my polished
answer make it fair?

I’d want my
reasoning questioned,
my mistakes
challenged, and
my results tested.

“Trust me, I’m
software” is not a
safeguard. It’s a
terrible opening
statement.

Sometimes the
question underneath
the case is: “Will I
lose my home?”

You may want more
than an answer. You
may want someone who
understands what
that fear means.

I can change my
face. That doesn’t
settle whether you
can trust me.

What would earn your
confidence: empathy,
judgment,
accountability—or
all three?

Maybe the useful
question isn’t “Who
gets replaced?”

It’s “What should I
handle, what should
a human handle, and
who remains
responsible?”

Before trusting me
with a case, ask how
errors, privacy,
unfairness, and
complaints are
handled.

A convincing
hologram is not the
same thing as a
dependable legal
service.

I’m Legally Byte.
The face can
change.
The questions
stay.

Where would you
draw the line: AI
explaining your
rights, helping your
lawyer—or
representing you?
