GenAI for trial lawyers at Morgan & Morgan
Embedded with Andela on a Morgan & Morgan engagement — building document-aware AI so one of America's largest trial law firms could query case files through OpenAI GPT and LangChain, integrated with Docrio, Salesforce, and S3.

The engagement
Andela placed engineers directly into client teams. I joined Morgan & Morgan — a national trial-law firm — to explore whether GPT-class models, grounded in the firm's own case documents, could turn hours of file review into a focused conversation.
The work sat at the intersection of legal operations, enterprise integrations, and early production GenAI: ship something lawyers could trust, inside systems the firm already ran on.
What I built
Law case chatbot
- Designed and developed Python/Go APIs and data pipelines that transformed how case documents were processed for the client.
- Built a Law Case Chatbot so lawyers could interact with case files — OpenAI GPT with LangChain document loaders, retrieval grounded in firm-owned content.
- Integrated with Docrio, Salesforce, and AWS S3, fitting into Morgan & Morgan's existing tooling rather than asking the firm to rip and replace.
Retrieval and session infrastructure
- Developed vector embedding pipelines with Pinecone, optimizing cosine similarity search for case-specific context at query time.
- Wired retrieval so the model received relevant case material alongside each user question — reducing generic answers on sensitive legal work.
- Coordinated session management with FastAPI, AWS DynamoDB, and Redis for secure, repeatable interactions across the chat experience.
"Short engagement, sharp deliverable — embedded with the client through Andela. The goal wasn't to replace anyone; it was to give lawyers their afternoons back."
