I always viewed Lawyers as problem solvers, and typically associated the high costs with things happening in the background.
Not saying the cost is worth it, but gaining exposures to other disciplines has its merits.

#22I like your website -- solid, professional, clear. What did you use to create it? Is it a template from somewhere I can use?
I've got a couple ideas of a one-page websites I want to make, and I'd like to make them just like this. My sites always looks like they're out of the 90's, and that's not good.

#23It would be good if the home page clarified what "send it" offers without having to go through the process to find out. e.g. do/can you print/mail a physical letter? Do you offer (non-legal) advice on the best path forward? etc. etc. I have so many questions.

#24I know paralegals already love large language models. The whole point of the demand letter isn't the three paragraphs, it's what goes above the addressee part - the legal office letterhead. That's what you're really paying for.
And why can’t the LLM do that part too? Is it illegal to represent as a false / nonexistent lawyer?
Absolutely. Pretending to be a license lawyer is extremely illegal.

#25Hey, I entered 2 million, 'Microsoft stole my future', 'since june 2000', 'i complained about it online' and 'the year of Linux on the desktop must come' and i got: https://pastebin.com/pHTKwEgQ Can anyone nearer to the legal profession post an analysis? [This being HN here go the obligatory "not serious" tags...]
Why is there a flagged-to-death comment with exact same content as your comment at the bottom of this page, from a brand new account with a keyboard gibberish username? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42984324 The only thing different is a Github URL which looks badly broken and malformed. Do bots just try to copy comments on HN, to direct them to ... 404 pages?
People try to make their new accounts (bot or human) look less suspicious by posting a lot of innocuous comments or posts before they use the account for spamming.
Copying other posts is the easiest way to do it on sites like Reddit. It gets noticed in smaller comment sections like HN.
On Reddit many of the front page subreddits like /r/FluentInFinance are almost exclusively reposted content for this reason. It’s wild to see the screenshots in that Reddit have been compressed and reuploaded so many times that the compression artifacts can’t be missed.

#26Any chance of making it work for the UK?

#27It seems like an LLM could easily perform this task, aside from the actual send function. I like how your UI makes sure that all relevant details are included. What is the domain of the sender? Does it look like a legitimate law office?
This is an LLM service.
The form is used to fill in details for the LLM prompt.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
And why can’t the LLM do that part too? Is it illegal to represent as a false / nonexistent lawyer?
Absolutely. Pretending to be a license lawyer is extremely illegal.
Perhaps pretending to be someone capable of recovering the amount owed would be both more efficient and less illegal?
