Showalter PLLC

Complex Litigation & Appellate

Most law firms aren't passing along the cost savings AI makes possible. With an AI-savvy senior lawyer at the helm, AI now outperforms the vast majority of human associates. But law firms continue to charge for teams of associates—and even paralegals and secretaries, remarkably enough. And because most law firms charge by the hour, their lawyers are actively disincentivized from capturing AI's immense productivity gains. To make matters worse, law firms also pass on enormous overhead expense to clients—around one third of a client's fees, according to one partner, correspond to expensive buildings and infrastructure.

In 2026, no company with any cost sensitivity should pay for any of this.

Showalter PLLC is the answer. For any litigation work, Showalter PLLC guarantees a price at one half any standard-rate quote from a Chambers-ranked practice. That price comes at no sacrifice in quality—one of the country's top appellate partners describes Michael Showalter as "among the best legal writers I've worked with at Gibson Dunn," and Showalter PLLC's product equals his work there.

Showalter PLLC is able to achieve this quality at previously unthinkable rates by using AI as its secretary, librarian, paralegal, and team of associates. Every matter is flat-fee, every citation is verified against primary sources, and client data is always protected.
