Law firm intake and billing systems

Less admin. More billable hours.

Half your day goes to admin. Intake forms, document chasing, billing follow-ups, status emails. We build the systems that handle all of it so your team can bill.

What law firms actually lose every week

New leads wait 42 hours to hear back

The average law firm takes 42 hours to respond to a new inquiry. Firms that respond in under 5 minutes convert at 21x the rate. Every hour you wait, you lose clients to the firm that answers first.

Half the workday goes to admin, not clients

Lawyers spend 48% of their workday on admin tasks. That leaves just 2.9 billable hours per day. The rest goes to intake paperwork, document chasing, billing, and status updates nobody pays for.

Invoices go out late and 11% never get paid

Work gets done but invoices sit in a queue. Reminders don't get sent. Law firms collect only 89% of what they bill. The gap between finishing work and getting paid is where cash flow breaks.

Clients leave because nobody updated them

Communication failures are the #1 complaint against law firms. Complaints to legal ombudsmen jumped 24% last year. Clients don't leave over bad legal work. They leave because nobody kept them in the loop.

Lawyers bill an average of 2.9 hours per day. The other 5 hours go to intake, documents, billing, and status updates. At $200/hour, that's $5,000+/week in time your firm never bills.

What we build for law firms

Client intake that runs itself

A new lead fills out one form. Within 60 seconds they get a confirmation, a conflict check runs, the engagement letter goes out, and a document request lands in their inbox. No staff involved.

Document collection without the chasing

Clients get a secure portal link. They upload what you need. You see what's in and what's missing. No email attachments. No follow-up emails from your staff.

Billing that doesn't wait for anyone

Invoices go out when work wraps up. Unpaid bills get a reminder at 7, 14, and 30 days. Payments come in weeks faster. Nobody on your team lifts a finger.

A dashboard for every open matter

Every active case in one view. Status, next step, responsible attorney, deadline. Your team knows what needs attention without digging through emails or asking around.

A portal your clients actually use

Clients log in and see where their matter stands. No more "what's happening with my case?" calls. Fewer interruptions for your team. Clients feel informed without anyone writing a status email.

What it costs and how fast it goes live

Most law firm systems are running in 7-10 days. Pricing starts at $200/month per workflow plus a $200 setup fee per workflow. The typical firm recovers 10+ hours of staff time per week from the first month.

Questions from law firms

Yes. All data lives on secure, encrypted servers. Client information is isolated per firm and never shared or sold. We can walk you through our security setup anytime.

No. We connect to Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, and most legal practice software. Think of it as a layer that handles what those tools can't do on their own.

Tools like Clio or Smokeball give you their workflow. We build around yours. Your intake process, your billing rules, your document needs. Nothing generic. Nothing you have to adapt to.

We build systems simple enough that your team barely notices them. Most of the work happens automatically. The parts your staff touch are designed to be obvious, not learned.

Yes. Changes are included in your subscription. Tell us what you need and we update it. You're not locked into what we built on day one.

We've built systems for family law, criminal defense, personal injury, estate planning, corporate, and immigration firms. If your firm has clients, documents, and billing, we can help.

We monitor your system and fix issues before you notice them. If something does come up, you tell us and we handle it. No IT staff required on your end.
