Michael Fragoso
Partner, Torridon Law
Writing in National Review

"Among the best legal writers I've worked with at Gibson Dunn."


Nick Harper
Appellate Partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher

"Showalter PLLC's seamless drafting process, clear communication, and early delivery of the completed brief turned a high-pressure amicus filing into a stress-free experience."


Joanna Mallers
Secretary, PTG Markets

"In our efforts to draft an amicus brief for a prominent Supreme Court case, Showalter was very quick to grasp and communicate my relatively obscure scientific, policy, and legal arguments. He also did so in a strikingly short amount of time and utilized AI tools to reduce costs on my end. I strongly recommend his legal engagement and expertise."


Alex Trembath
Executive Director, The Breakthrough Institute

"As the author of Point Made and a trainer for federal judges, I've spent decades analyzing what makes legal writing shine. Michael Showalter's writing has the discipline, clarity, and confidence of the nation's very best advocates."


Ross Guberman
Founder and CEO, BriefCatch

"Mike is an exceptional writer and legal thinker; he doesn't need AI to write a top-flight brief."


Tom Johnson
Appellate Chair, Wiley Rein

"I supervised Michael's first-ever deposition, in 2020 in a nuanced constitutional case. Due to his preparation, quick thinking, and intellectual tenacity, his deposition of the named plaintiff was one of the best depositions I had ever seen."


Bennett Rawicki
Partner, Hilgers Graben

"I hired Showalter PLLC when a borrower defaulted on a substantial loan and began dissipating assets. Michael immediately understood what was at stake and acted with real urgency. He combines BigLaw caliber knowledge with creative, outside-the-box thinking. He also leverages AI intelligently and effectively. I got top-tier advocacy at a fraction of what it would have cost elsewhere. And he is a genuine advocate who actually cares about getting a just outcome. I recommend him without hesitation."


Collin Stuart
Data & AI Consultant

"Michael worked closely with us to design our firm's AI operating system from the ground up. Just a few weeks in, our efficiency, organization, and capacity have improved considerably. Our time with Michael paid for itself many times over."


Kent Hayden, Brendan Ryan, and Zac Ciullo
Founding Partners, HRC Law

"Michael Showalter stands out as one of the most sophisticated AI users among American litigators. His workshop reveals the advanced techniques and workflows that drive real results. I recommend it to any firm ready to move beyond surface-level adoption and achieve meaningful results with AI."


Sandeep Savla
U.S. Co-Head of Regulatory, Investigations, Securities and Compliance, Norton Rose Fulbright

"Showalter's AI integration workshop teaches lawyers that using LLMs like Claude or Harvey is not at all like using Google search. There has to be a lot more front-end preparation and iterative engagement with the AI to take advantage of its capabilities. But investing that effort holds the promise of returning massive benefit. Like AI itself, this workshop is a force multiplier!"


Mark Chenoweth
President, New Civil Liberties Alliance

"Michael Showalter's AI integration workshop was exactly what our firm needed: practical, specific, and grounded in real legal workflows. He showed our litigation group how to get the most out of the AI tools and how to do more for clients in less time."


Benjamin Lieber
Founder & Managing Partner, Potomac Law Group

"Michael is first a great lawyer and second an innovator with respect to AI. His AI-integration workshop enables lawyers to make the most of the tools to compete at the highest level. I learned a ton. The workshop will increase profit margins when implemented at your firm."
