Probate, sorted — with a stack of agents doing the paperwork.

I'm a practicing attorney who spends most of my non-client hours designing and deploying AI agents to get legal work done faster — and most of my client hours making sure the humans in the firm still own the parts that matter.

My day job is running Schnurbusch Law, a Missouri probate and trust-administration firm built around flat-fee pricing, sub-one-year administration timelines, and a deep tech stack under the hood. We focus exclusively on cooperative, routine matters — the kind that should never take eighteen months and shouldn't cost a percentage of the estate.

The rest of the time I'm teaching and, here and there, building. Most of it goes into the Legal Tech Collective, a community I run on Facebook for attorneys, paralegals, and tech consultants trying to figure AI out without falling for either the doom or the hype. I answer a lot of questions in there, share what's working in my own practice, and try to help other lawyers get past the part where they're scared of it. I also built a self-paced course on Airtable case management for lawyers — under my old Lawtomation consulting brand — that's still running. Benedeed.legal is a smaller side project — narrow, focused beneficiary-deed software for Missouri — that I pick at when I have build time to spare.

Outside the work: I'm married to Molly, and we have four kids — all of them currently under seven. That last detail is, in practice, the most honest description of where any remaining time and energy actually goes.

If any of that sounds interesting, there's a contact card below and a handful of things I've written further down.
