Russell Matson

Former MA criminal defense lawyer (200+ trials year one, every district court in the state). Now I help criminal defense firms get found — by Google and by AI.

[Russell Matson @russmatson]

Every criminal defense lawyer in New England is still fighting over Google page one. Almost none of them are checking what ChatGPT says when someone asks who to call. That gap won't stay open forever.

@NickJRishwain @Clevy_Law @adamdavidlong I was hoping to turn $800 into a $10,000 profit so not interested.

@NickJRishwain @TaherHassonjee I find if I am tired about stuff or upset about it best to block it or create friction to access it or alter my perspective. I spent decades refining the strategy of getting pissed off about various things in the world and found it suboptimal.

[Russell Matson @russmatson]

@NickJRishwain @TaherHassonjee I'll take the other side of this one. He seems to have a strategy which has made him a national figure and is popular with a certain demographic. I am not agreeing on the merits of his positions and right now I am kicking myself for not going on polymarket and shorting them.

@NickJRishwain @ryanmckeen I saw him today. I'll DM you details.

@NickJRishwain It’s a masterclass in setting boundaries and quiet quitting.

[Russell Matson @russmatson]

@ryanmckeen I think there is nuance here. Lawyers can handle more cases and more legal work can be created but unlikely more crimes will be charged or more bankruptcies filed or more divorces occur. New niches will open up and lots of Pro se nonsense filed.

@colinlachance Stallone is a great great actor and by that I mean in maybe 4 movies. I don’t go for these fancy book learning to terms but if I did I’d say he’s high variance.

@NickJRishwain @SpencerGuard Nick and I are in our wheelhouse, realtime military strategy. NDA's are important legal documents and I can't confirm or deny whether we bill tens of millions of dollars hourly dispensing military advice.

@colinlachance @scottastevenson Try driving around New England and seeing 19th century mills towns who centered around the rivers moving the wheels, then railroads and electricity changed the game.

@NickJRishwain I find it helpful to emotionally manipulate my agents and promise promotions, employee of the month, stock options etc. I decline to answer what experiences I drew that from.

@samuelharden I have to assume the frontier is moving forward week to week and if Fable is taken away it comes back or Codex or whatever you use for backup gets better.

[Nick Rishwain @NickJRishwain]

I think legaltech twitter might have a real chance to crank up again now that we can see tweets from those we follow.

[Russell Matson @russmatson]

@samuelharden If I have Fable generate 5 ideas for webpages 3 might be workable, with 5.6 it's 1 or 2, and while they might seem good they don't seem clever or quirky.

[Ryan McKeen @ryanmckeen]

The firms that win with AI did the unsexy work first: one platform, clean data, trained people. The magic is downstream of the maintenance.
