Ask AI or Ask a Lawyer?

While AI can provide general legal information, it cannot offer personalized legal counsel based on your unique situation. At Lardiere McNair & Stonebrook we believe you should always consider consulting a qualified lawyer for legal advice, especially for complex or personal legal matters.

Why You Should Consult a Lawyer Instead of Relying Solely on AI:

AI Provides General Information, Not Legal Advice
- AI can summarize laws and legal principles but does not account for specific case details or jurisdictional differences.
Laws Vary by Location
- Laws differ by country, state, and even city, and AI may not always provide the most up-to-date or region-specific information.
Legal Interpretations Require Human Judgment
- Lawyers analyze evidence, argue nuances, and make strategic legal decisions that AI cannot.
AI May Be Outdated or Incomplete
- AI is based on past data and might not reflect recent legal changes, new case law, or evolving regulations.
Confidentiality & Ethics Concerns
- AI does not offer attorney-client privilege, meaning your legal questions are not protected like they would be in confidential consultation with a lawyer.

When AI Can Be Helpful:

Understanding general legal concepts.
Learning about common legal procedures.
Finding resources or legal aid options.

When You Should Definitely Consult a Lawyer:

If you are facing criminal charges.
If you were injured and it was not your fault.
If you are dealing with a lawsuit.
If you are dealing with family law issues like:
- Prenuptial agreements
- Divorce or dissolution
- Custody issues including grandparents’ rights
If you are signing a contract with legal consequences.
If you need estate planning (e.g., wills, trusts).
