Ep. 88: Don't Be a Bot: Reclaiming Empathy in the AI Era with Rania Combs

In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, Ruby Powers sits down with Rania Combs, Founder of Rania Combs Law PLLC, to explore the art of running a thriving virtual law practice and why the human element is now more critical than ever.

Rania, a true pioneer who has run a fully virtual estate planning practice since 2009, shares her vision for a future where technology provides convenience and accessibility without sacrificing the deep trust required in sensitive areas of law. Together, they explore: ✅ The Over-Automation Warning: Why clients are yearning for more human interaction and how tech fatigue affects the Gen Z client.

✅ Virtual & Vital: How Rania built a personal practice and referral network across state lines for over 15 years.

✅ Finding the Balance: How using tools (including AI) to eliminate the mechanical frees up attorneys for context, strategy, and empathy.

✅ The Future of Lawyering: Why the "post-AI ballgame" in legal services comes down to trustworthiness and resisting the urge to remove the human layer.

If you’re running a practice remotely or looking for practical ways to use technology to deepen your client relationships—not replace them—this episode will show you how to be both virtual and vital.
