Few people choose a lawyer lightly, and almost no one chooses one without reading first. Before a prospective client picks up the phone, they have usually looked at your Google reviews and formed a quiet opinion of how the firm carries itself. The reviews are public and accumulating whether or not anyone is watching them. The real question is whether the replies underneath read like the careful, professional firm you actually run.
Why your reviews matter
For a firm, a public reply is a small act of advocacy in its own right. A measured, professional response to praise tells the next reader that this is a practice that pays attention and chooses its words with care. A composed reply to a hard review says more about your judgement than the complaint ever could. The difficulty is that reviews arrive at awkward hours and in awkward moods, and a response drafted in haste — between a hearing and a client call — can undo the very impression you are trying to protect.
ReviewAI gathers your Google reviews into one place and drafts a considered response for each one, so the firm always sounds composed, even on the days when no one has a spare moment to be.
The confidentiality line you must not cross
This is where a law firm is different from most businesses, and it matters a great deal. A public reply is visible to everyone, permanently. It must never confirm that the reviewer is — or ever was — a client, and it must never reference a matter, an outcome, a fee, or any detail touched by attorney-client confidentiality. Even a well-meant correction is a disclosure: replying “we actually won that motion for you” confirms representation, names a result, and reveals client information in public, which is precisely what an attorney cannot do.
ReviewAI is built with that line in mind. It drafts a careful, professional response that acknowledges the reviewer's feedback in general terms, without ever asserting that they were represented or referencing anything about their matter. You read the draft, adjust it if you wish, and approve it before a single word is posted. The result is that you stay courteous and responsive while disclosing nothing — which is exactly the balance a firm needs. The same discipline applies when a review is unhappy; our short guide on replying to negative reviews walks through how to stay professional under pressure.
One inbox for a firm with several offices
If your firm has more than one office, the reviews multiply faster than anyone can follow them. ReviewAI brings the Google reviews from every location into a single inbox, so a practice manager can sit down once and work through all of them without switching accounts or losing track of which office a review belongs to.
Pricing does not punish you for growing. Premium is a flat $9.99 a month and covers unlimited locations and unlimited AI responses — whether that is one office or a dozen. The free tier gives you one location and five AI responses a day, which is enough to see how it fits a single office before you commit.
What a reply actually looks like
Suppose a reviewer writes:
“Professional, responsive, and genuinely reassuring during a stressful time. They explained every step clearly and I never felt left in the dark. Highly recommend this firm.”
A professional-tone draft might read:
“Thank you for the kind words — they mean a great deal to everyone here. We work hard to keep people informed and reassured, and we are glad that came through. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.”
Notice what it does not do: it never confirms that the reviewer is a client, never mentions a matter or an outcome, and never references anything that confidentiality protects. It is warm and true to the sentiment the reviewer expressed, and it discloses nothing.
Common questions
Is it ethical to respond to client reviews publicly?
Yes — professionally, and without confirming that the reviewer is a client or disclosing any case information. A public reply is visible to everyone, so it must never reveal that someone is represented, name a matter, or reference anything covered by attorney-client confidentiality. ReviewAI drafts a careful, professional response that acknowledges the feedback in general terms, and you read and approve it before it is posted.
Can I manage several office locations?
Yes. ReviewAI brings the Google reviews from all of your offices into one inbox, so a firm with several locations can keep up with every office from a single place. Premium is a flat $9.99 a month and covers unlimited locations and unlimited AI responses, no matter how many offices you add.
Does it keep a professional tone?
Yes. ReviewAI drafts responses in four tones — professional, friendly, apologetic, and grateful — using GPT-4o. For a law firm the professional tone is usually the right starting point, and you can adjust the wording before you publish anything.
