About this episode
In Part 1, Jason Todd Wade speaks with New York matrimonial attorney Mia Poppe about how AI is changing legal practice from the inside out.
Mia explains how she uses AI for idea generation, document comparison, gap analysis, research support, and law-firm marketing—while keeping legal judgment, risk assessment, and strategy firmly in human hands.
The conversation covers:
- Why lawyers have been slow to adopt AI
- Where AI is useful—and where it is dangerous
- Using AI to compare long settlement agreements
- Why legal expertise still matters
- How AI can improve law-firm efficiency
- Client confidence as the real product lawyers sell
- Why AI search is changing how clients find attorneys
- The shift from traditional SEO to AI Visibility
- How authority, consistency, and lived experience influence AI recommendations
The central lesson: AI may not replace experienced lawyers, but lawyers who use it intelligently will work faster, communicate better, and become easier for the right clients to find. Jason Wade, Founder BackTier.docxDOCX
