Meet Brian Torres, a criminal defense attorney practicing in the heart of Marbella. From defending clients in minor offenses to tackling high-profile trials, Brian has always sought tools that can keep his case preparation efficient yet thorough. Recently, he introduced PONS—an AI-driven legal platform—into his workflow, primarily for secure file management, automated case analysis, and team collaboration. Below, we explore how Brian integrated PONS into his day-to-day routine and why he believes it’s reshaping his approach to criminal law.
Discovering PONS
When Brian first heard about PONS, he was skeptical about whether AI could actually speed up criminal case preparation without compromising quality. But the more he read about jurisdiction-specific AI, the more he realized it could handle key parts of his research and document drafting.
“I deal with sensitive client information every day,” explains Brian. “I needed a platform I could trust with that data—something that’s secure by design and specialized enough to recognize Spanish criminal statutes and precedents.”
He quickly found that PONS’s multi-jurisdictional AI agents not only analyzed Spanish regulations but also flagged related jurisprudence in seconds—an invaluable feature for a busy practitioner juggling multiple cases.
Secure Case Analysis & Vault
Brian’s biggest surprise came when he tried out PONS Vault, a secure file management system integrated into the platform. Instead of emailing documents or juggling separate cloud folders, he could upload police reports, witness statements, and legal memos in one place and let the AI highlight critical passages.
“Security was my top concern,” Brian says. “With PONS, everything from initial case files to the final plea deal is under end-to-end encryption. That sort of reliability is huge when you’re handling evidence or testimonies for a criminal case.”
By automatically indexing each file and generating summaries or recommended next steps, the platform let Brian focus on strategic decisions—like cross-examining a witness or challenging procedural errors—rather than sifting through pages of repetitive text.
Streamlined Workflow with AI
Prior to using PONS, Brian spent hours each week drafting or revising documents in separate apps, then toggling between them to keep track of different versions. Now, thanks to PONS’ AI Agents, he’s able to generate drafts that reflect specific Spanish criminal procedures or codes of practice. The entire process—from identifying relevant caselaw to creating a near-final draft—takes a fraction of the time it used to.
“It’s like having an associate who never sleeps,” Brian jokes. “In criminal law, any small oversight can be costly. PONS’ AI doesn’t get tired, it doesn’t overlook a crucial footnote. And that frees me up to focus on the human aspect—counseling clients, building defense strategies.”
Additionally, built-in collaboration tools let him share key findings or briefs with clients instantly, all inside one secure environment.
Conclusion
For Brian Torres, PONS has become the engine driving his criminal case prep—providing rapid, AI-powered analysis alongside enterprise-grade security. With detailed document indexing, consistent encryption, and clear drafting suggestions, he believes it’s elevating the standard of practice for independent lawyers like himself. And while he’s still exploring more of PONS’s features, Brian’s already convinced it’s the future of efficient legal work in Spain and beyond.
