For decades, initiating legal assistance has entailed scheduling consultations, enduring wait times, and navigating opaque processes. This traditional approach often creates a significant barrier: time, uncertainty, and cost all lead to delayed action. According to America’s Partner for Equal Justice, low-income Americans did not receive any or enough legal help for 92% of their civil legal problems. Nearly one-half of those cite cost as why they did not seek help, and more than one-half doubt their ability to find a lawyer they can afford.
People don’t avoid legal help because they don’t care. It’s because they don’t know where to start, or worry they’ll get trapped in an expensive or opaque process. That’s where technology is starting to step in.
Marble Law’s Legal Plan: AI-Powered Legal Intake
Marble Law introduces a transformative solution: a secure, AI-driven chat that delivers a personalized legal case plan in just five minutes. This system, powered by advanced AI algorithms, ensures the utmost security and accuracy. Instead of booking a call or navigating a maze of online intake forms, users can simply chat with this secure, AI-driven system. It delivers a tailored roadmap outlining their case and clear next steps, all without the need for an initial phone call. Subsequently, clients can schedule a $49, no-commitment strategy session with a lawyer already acquainted with their case, ensuring a more efficient and focused consultation process.
Transparent by Design: A New Pricing Model
Marble’s innovation doesn’t stop at intake. Unlike the traditional law firm model, which often demands large upfront retainers or bills by the hour, Marble uses a pay-per-step pricing model. Legal services are broken into clear, defined phases, each with a fixed price. This empowers clients to plan financially, choose what steps to pursue, and avoid surprise charges, putting them in control of their legal journey.
For those wanting a ballpark idea of costs before even speaking with a lawyer, Marble also offers its Family Law Cost Calculator, a free tool that uses case-specific inputs to generate a personalized estimate. It’s designed to give people a sense of what they might pay in advance, providing a level of predictability that directly addresses one of the most cited barriers to legal help: unpredictable pricing.
The Broader Impact of AI in Legal Services
Marble’s innovation is part of a broader trend of AI integration in the legal industry. According to Gitnux’s 2025 report, 64% of law firms have adopted at least one AI-based solution to enhance efficiency. AI applications range from document review and legal research to predictive analytics and client communication:
- 45% use AI for document review and discover processes
- 52% integrate AI chatbots to handle client inquiries
- 40% implement AI-based predictive analytics for case strategy
The global legal AI market is projected to reach $2.5 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 35%. In fact, 48% of law firms plan to increase AI investment in the next two years. Through AI’s help, 53% of law firms have reported increased efficiency and faster case resolution, reduced contract review time by up to 80%, and faster research speed by 60%.
AI is rapidly becoming the backbone of legal innovation, turning technologically savvy solutions into a way to stay at the forefront and to redefine a law firm’s practice. These advancements not only streamline legal processes but also make legal services more accessible and affordable.
Enhancing Access to Justice
AI’s role in legal services extends beyond efficiency. It also holds promise to enhance access to justice. By automating initial consultations and providing immediate, personalized legal information, AI tools like Marble Law’s Legal Plan can help bridge the gap for individuals who might otherwise forgo legal assistance due to cost or complexity.
Furthermore, AI chatbots have been shown to reduce client onboarding times by 50%, enabling law firms to serve more clients effectively. As AI technology continues to evolve, its potential to democratize legal services and reach underserved populations becomes increasingly significant. By reducing costs and streamlining processes, AI can make legal services more accessible to a wider range of people, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to seek legal assistance when they need it.
A Paradigm Shift in Legal Services
Marble Law’s AI-powered Legal Plan exemplifies a paradigm shift in how legal services are delivered. By replacing the traditional initial consultation with a swift, personalized AI interaction, Marble Law enhances efficiency and aligns with a broader movement towards accessible, technology-driven legal solutions. As the legal industry continues to embrace AI, innovations like these will play a crucial role in shaping a more responsive and inclusive legal landscape.
