Websites, AI, and technical consulting.

I'm a Connecticut attorney and software engineer. I rebuild and run websites and AI systems for law firms and small businesses, train lawyers and their staff on AI, consult with counsel on the technology in their cases, take on contract research and drafting for law firms, and advise startups and small businesses. You work with me directly from the first call to the finished work.

What I do.

I handle each engagement myself. There is no account manager between us and no junior staff doing the work.

  1. 01

    Websites & AI Tools

    I rebuild outdated websites without throwing away the search rankings they already have. After launch, I can maintain the site, publish content, improve how it appears in Google and AI answers, and build AI tools for intake or routine work. The domain, code, content, and accounts stay in your name.

    Outcome

    You own the site and accounts

    • Website rebuilds without losing rankings
    • Ongoing site care and content
    • Visibility in Google and AI answers
    • AI tools for intake and routine work

    AI Education & Training

    Training for lawyers and small-business teams on what AI tools do well, where they fail, and how to use them without creating a compliance problem. The sessions use examples from the systems I build and run every day.

    Outcome

    Staff who use the tools

    • Law-firm workshops
    • Small-business sessions
    • Written workflow guides
    • Follow-up office hours

    Technical Consulting for Law Firms

    When a case turns on technology, I work for the attorney. I read the discovery, interpret carrier and platform records, and explain what the records show in writing. The engagement is structured with work-product protection in mind. I also advise firms on their own technology decisions.

    Outcome

    Analysis counsel can use

    • Digital evidence & discovery analysis
    • Technical memos for counsel
    • Questions for opposing experts
    • Firm technology guidance

    Contract Legal Work for Law Firms

    Firms bring me in when they need another attorney on a matter without making a hire. I take on legal research, research memos, and drafting, and I return work your attorneys can review and use. I'm admitted in Connecticut.

    Outcome

    Extra capacity when you need it

    • Legal research
    • Research memos
    • Litigation & contract drafting
    • Single projects or ongoing help

    Business & Startup Advisory

    I advise startups and business owners on pitch decks, financial projections, competitive analysis, go-to-market strategy, and architecture reviews. I read the deck, the contract, and the codebase myself, so the business, legal, and technical questions get answered by the same person.

    Outcome

    A second opinion

    • Pitch decks & projections
    • Competitive analysis
    • Go-to-market strategy
    • Architecture & code reviews

Some problems cross more than one service. Most engagements start with a short call and a written review of where things stand. Email me and we'll figure it out from there.

Websites I've rebuilt and continue to maintain.

Omni Physical & Aquatic Therapy

A physical, aquatic, and chiropractic therapy practice with five Connecticut offices. I rebuilt the Squarespace site as a bilingual Next.js site with an appointment-request form running on HIPAA-eligible AWS infrastructure, and I handle content and AI-search visibility for the practice.

The LoRicco Law Firm

A personal injury and criminal defense firm that has practiced in New Haven since 1956. I rebuilt the outdated site as a bilingual Next.js site, kept the URLs and rankings it already had, and added a compliance-reviewed blog and pages for the surrounding towns. I also handle the firm's content and AI-search visibility.

03 · Process

Diagnose Clarify Build Improve.

The same four steps apply whether the engagement is a website, a training, a case, or a business plan.

  1. Diagnose

    Most engagements start with a written review of what's there: a technical memo, a website findings report, a workflow audit, or a read on a business plan.

  2. Clarify

    I explain what I found and what I'd do about it, in plain English and ranked by impact. The recommendation goes in writing so you can act on it or get a second opinion.

  3. Build

    Then I do the work: the memo, the website or the agent, the deck, or the training session.

  4. Improve

    For ongoing work, I monitor the system, handle updates, and revisit it when the underlying needs change.

04 · Studio

I also build and ship my own apps.

Five are live on the App Store, one is in App Review, and eight more are in development. I build them and handle App Store review, subscriptions, analytics, and support. That work informs the product advice I give clients.

05 · About

About the principal.

I practice law, consult for startups and small businesses, and build production software and AI systems. The services on this page grew out of problems people kept bringing me. Their firm website had stopped bringing in work. Their team bought AI tools but never used them. Their case turned on carrier records. Their business plan needed a straight read.

Attorney (LL.M., J.D., MBA) · Software Engineer · New Haven, CT

I'm a Connecticut-admitted attorney and software engineer with an LL.M., J.D., and MBA. My work includes legal practice, consulting for startups and small businesses, production software and AI systems, open-source tools, and the studio's apps.

  • 01

    Client matters stay private

    Consulting work for counsel is structured with privilege and work-product protection in mind. I don't turn those matters into marketing material or publish case studies about them.

  • 02

    Straight answers

    You'll get a direct answer on what the records show, what's broken, what it costs to fix, and what AI can and can't do for you, including when the answer is that you don't need me.

  • 03

    Keep what's working

    A rebuild shouldn't cost you the search rankings you spent years earning. I inventory your URLs, rankings, and content before anything changes, and the migration is planned around keeping them.

  • 04

    You own everything

    The domain, code, content, analytics, and accounts are set up in your name from the first day. If we part ways, you keep a working system and everything needed to run it.

06 · Contact

Tell me what you're working on.

Send me a note about the website, the team, the case, or the business. I'll reply with a few questions, and if it makes sense we'll set up a short call and I'll follow up with a written review.
