An archive is genuinely useful and it is also a record. Both facts belong on this page, applied to the West Virginia matters that take long enough for a record to accumulate.

The West Virginia Matters That Run Long

West Virginia matters run long across permanent instruments and slow-moving claims. A right-of-way governs indefinitely, and occupational disease matters develop across years.

They concentrate in property, land, and real estate and employment and workplace questions, the two areas generating the highest volume from this state.

What Re-Explaining Costs Here

For an instrument that runs indefinitely, the negotiation record explains what the document does not, and successors will need it. For disease claims, documentation accumulated over years is the case.

Handing a Matter to an Attorney

For occupational disease and mineral title, both needing counsel, records accumulated across years are frequently the substance rather than support for it.

When to Keep, and When to Delete

An archive is useful and it is also a record, and the source material for this page does not say so. Two facts are worth knowing before you accumulate years of conversations about a dispute.

A record can be requested: If a matter reaches litigation, material you hold about it may be something the other side is entitled to see. That is usually not a reason to avoid keeping records, and it is a reason to keep them deliberately rather than by default. For anything heading toward a formal proceeding, it is a question worth asking an attorney about early.
Someone else may be able to reach your account: An archive is private at the server level. It is not private from a person who can open your phone or knows your password. If your matter concerns someone with access to your devices, particularly in a domestic situation, deleting as you go is the safer practice, and using a device and an email address they cannot reach is safer still.
Closed matters do not need to stay open: Deleting a resolved matter costs you nothing and reduces what exists about it. There is no penalty for a smaller archive.
You control it: Individual conversations or the whole archive can be deleted at any time, and deletion is permanent. Current retention and deletion specifics are on the main conversation history page rather than repeated here, because they are operational details that change.

What Is Kept

Every conversation Messages and responses, with the documents you uploaded and the documents drafted for you, all attached to the matter they belong to.

The documents themselves The original file plus any analysis produced about it. Upload a lease in January and both the file and the analysis are there in June, unchanged.

Context carried forward Mention an earlier matter and the relevant history can be pulled forward rather than re-pasted. You can turn that off in settings if you prefer each conversation to start clean.

Available on any device The same archive on web, iOS, and Android. Sign in anywhere and the matters are there.

Finding Things Again

Named for the matter
Rename any conversation for what it actually is, which is what makes a long matter findable a year later.
Searchable
Search across everything for a counterparty, a document name, or a term. Useful when you know a conversation happened and not when.
Grouped
Related conversations can be kept together so a matter spanning months stays coherent rather than scattered across a chronological list.
Exportable
Export a single conversation or the whole archive. Useful for your own records and for handing a matter to an attorney.

Privacy

Yours to access Only you, or authorised team members on a Business account, can see your history. It is not shared with third parties.

Not used to train public models Your conversations and uploaded documents are not used to train public AI models. That is the current commitment and it is stated plainly rather than as a guarantee about all future policy, which nobody can honestly make.

Portable Export your history whenever you want, in standard formats, for your own records or to hand to counsel.

Not a billed constraint Conversation history is included on every plan including the free tier.

West Virginia Frequently Asked Questions

Are long-term health and work records worth keeping?

For occupational disease matters, substantially, because these claims develop over years and documentation built as events occurred is far stronger than a reconstruction. This is a case for keeping rather than deleting.

Can I share a matter with my attorney?

Yes. Export the conversation and bring it, or share it directly. The practical benefit is that the attorney can start on substantive questions instead of spending the first part of a consultation on intake, which is what you would otherwise be paying for.

What happens if I stop paying?

Your history remains on your account if you move to the free tier. If you close the account entirely, the data is deleted after a grace period during which the account can be restored. Current specifics are on the main conversation history page.

Can I stop it referencing past conversations?

Yes, in account settings. Some people prefer every conversation to start clean, which is a reasonable preference and fully supported.
