Artificial Intelligence at Attorney Manny Chahal’s Practice

A transparent account of how Attorney Manny Chahal integrates artificial intelligence into the administration of his Michigan personal injury, no-fault, commercial real estate, and cross-border banking practice — and the boundaries he will not cross.


I.   Where AI Augments the Practice

Administrative leverage in service of clients.

Artificial intelligence assists in narrowly defined administrative and content-production tasks, always under attorney supervision and never as a substitute for professional judgment:

  1. Translation of public-facing content between English, Hindi, and Punjabi to expand meaningful access to legal information.
  2. First-draft generation of educational Knowledge Base articles on Michigan statutes and procedure, each reviewed and revised by Attorney Chahal before publication.
  3. Triage and routing of intake inquiries to ensure prompt attorney response.
  4. Search-engine and metadata optimization for accessibility and discoverability.

II.   Where AI Has No Role

AI does not practice law here. Legal analysis, case evaluation, strategic counsel, and advice on any matter — including yours — are provided exclusively by Attorney Manny Chahal, personally.

  1. No client-confidential information is submitted to third-party AI systems. Privileged communications, intake details, medical records, and matter-specific facts remain within the attorney’s direct control.
  2. No pleading, motion, demand letter, settlement document, or contract is filed, sent, or signed without attorney review, revision, and authorization.
  3. No AI tool renders legal opinions, predicts case outcomes, or evaluates the merits of any specific claim.

III.   Compliance Framework

This policy is maintained in accordance with the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct — specifically Rules 1.1 (Competence), 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information), 5.1 (Responsibilities of Supervisory Lawyers), 5.3 (Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistance), and 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer’s Services) — and the American Bar Association’s Formal Opinion 512, issued July 29, 2024, on a lawyer’s use of generative artificial intelligence.

Where any tension exists between technological efficiency and a client’s interest, the client’s interest controls.
