About Apis

Apis Legal Technologies was created to help attorneys reclaim time from repetitive work: with useful education, focused workflow design, and tools that respect human judgment.

Our why

AI is already changing legal practice. The real questions are how firms will use it, and who gets access to its advantages.

Used well, AI gives attorneys time back for the work only they can do: judgment, strategy, advocacy, and client relationships. Used carelessly, it produces confident answers that are still wrong, and attorneys have already faced sanctions for filing citations that did not exist. We are not here to cheer AI on or to warn everyone away. We are here for the practical middle ground.

Responsible adoption

AI can amplify legal work, but judgment, verification, accountability, and client protection stay with the attorney.

Accessible adoption

Solo, small, and midsize firms should get the same practical advantages without a BigLaw-sized technology budget. That starts with AI fluency every attorney can build, whatever tools the firm chooses.

President, Co-Founder, AI Specialist & Author

Danny leads product development, AI implementation, and workflow design for Apis Legal Technologies. He spent a year interviewing AI about humanity's hardest problems and came away with the conviction that drives Apis: AI's real job is giving skilled people their time back. His specialty is turning messy operational problems into practical AI-assisted systems, and coaching people through change they were skeptical about.

Miriam Ortiz, JD

Co-Founder, Chief Operating Officer & Attorney Outreach

Miriam pairs legal training with hands-on operations. She leads attorney outreach and AI fluency for Apis, shaping the Learning Center curriculum and guiding workflow audits and implementation for law firms. Her job is keeping every Apis product and course grounded in what attorneys can actually verify, understand, and use.

She holds a JD from Santa Clara University School of Law, and she brings that discipline to every course and workflow Apis ships: if a claim cannot be verified, it does not go in front of an attorney.

Where we start

Billing is one of the clearest places to start because it sits at the intersection of legal judgment, communication, client expectations, and administrative burden. Attorneys do the work, but they still have to translate that work into clear, structured billing language.

Honey Ledger focuses on that narrow workflow first: helping attorneys turn rough notes into review-ready billing drafts. From there, Apis can support broader legal AI education, workflow audits, implementation planning, and future operations support for firms.

We are especially interested in conversations with attorneys and firms exploring responsible AI adoption, billing workflow improvement, and early Honey Ledger beta participation.
