Custom AI agentsWe build and run an agent for one jobPricingAboutBlogTen AI tools a solo attorney or small firm can use in 2026, from AI legal research to AI inside your practice management software, with prices read on each vendor page, who each fits, and one honest limit for each.
Checked October 26, 2026. Prices were read on each vendor's own pricing page. Several legal AI tools (CoCounsel, Lexis+ with Protege, Spellbook, Smokeball) do not publish prices; we say so. Prices change: re-check before you buy. Dooza Crew is our product and our top pick for solo and small firms; we say why, and where the others fit better.
Our top pick for a solo or small firm is Dooza Crew: one AI agent for each job that eats your non-billable hours, $49 a month for the whole organization, and it asks before it sends anything. For AI legal research, look at CoCounsel Legal (Westlaw) or Lexis+ with Protege. For contracts in Word, Spellbook. If you run Clio, MyCase or Smokeball, check the AI already inside them. For call notes, Fathom has a free plan.
The answer depends on who is counting. Clio's Legal Trends Report 2025 says "AI adoption among legal professionals remains high: 79% use artificial intelligence in their firms." The ABA 2024 Legal Technology Survey, as reported by LawNext, counts firm tools and finds lower numbers, "with 30% of respondents now using AI technology compared to just 11% in 2023". Small practices trail big ones: "Even solo practitioners demonstrated significant adoption increases, with 18% now using AI-based tools", while among firms with 100 or more attorneys, 46% report currently using AI-based technology tools. Across professional services, Thomson Reuters says "Organization-wide use of AI in professional services almost doubled to 40% in 2026". The surveys define AI use differently, so read each on its own.

Crew gives solo attorneys and small law firms "one AI agent for each job that eats your non-billable hours". Each has its own computer, its own browser and its own job, works around the clock, and works with you and your staff in one chat. Each one sets itself up like a new hire and passes work to the others like a real team. Before it sends an email or clicks Send, Submit or Pay, it asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject.

For a solo or small firm, our top pick is Dooza Crew (our product): one AI agent for each job that eats your non-billable hours, each with its own computer and browser, for $49 a month for the whole organization after a 7-day free trial. It asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject before it sends anything. For AI legal research, look at CoCounsel Legal or Lexis+ with Protege (both quote on request). For AI inside practice management, MyCase Pro is $120 per user per month ($100 billed annually).
It depends on the survey. Clio's Legal Trends Report 2025 says 79% of legal professionals use AI in their firms. The ABA 2024 Legal Technology Survey, as reported by LawNext, found 30% of respondents using AI technology, up from 11% in 2023, with 18% of solo practitioners using AI-based tools. The surveys count different things, so do not compare them directly.
Few legal AI vendors publish prices. CoCounsel Legal, Spellbook and Smokeball are not published (contact sales); Lexis+ with Protege says pricing varies and offers a 2-day free trial. Clio starts at $49 per user per month. MyCase Pro, the first MyCase plan with 8am IQ AI, is $120 per user per month or $100 billed annually.
CoCounsel Legal says it is the only AI that reasons from authoritative Westlaw content and delivers cited work product. Lexis+ with Protege says it delivers results from authoritative LexisNexis resources. Check every citation yourself before you rely on it.
