Abstract—This paper introduces ATTORNEY 209: A Virtual Assistant Adviser for Family-Based Cases. It is a conversational chatbot which is designed to handle initial assessment for families who need legal guidance regarding family cases such as child custody and legal separation. Chart Parsing Algorithm, known in Natural Language Processing, is the approach implemented in this study. It is suitable for ambiguous grammar and uses the dynamic programming approach—partial hypothesized results are stored in a structure called a chart and can be re-used. This eliminates backtracking and prevents a combinatorial explosion.
