For law firms
From first inquiry to open matter, online.
We work with law firms of up to about fifty lawyers, in Fort Lauderdale and the rest of Broward County first. We take your intake online, connect it to the software you already use, and build what your firm needs around it.
Sound familiar?
- We lose people between the first call and the signed engagement letter.
- Most of our calls are clients asking where their case stands.
- A new matter gets typed into four different systems.
- If our intake person left tomorrow, nobody would know how it works.
- A corporate client just sent us a security questionnaire.
What we build for law firms.
- Intake your lawyers writeConflict-check details captured once, on any phone, at any hour.
- Engagement letters signed onlineA full record of who signed and when.
- Retainers paid onlineInto your firm's own merchant account, routed to trust or operating exactly as your firm directs. We never touch client funds.
- The matter opens itselfIn your practice-management system, with documents filed to the right folder.
- A client portalWhere the matter stands, documents and messages, with access for co-counsel, co-clients or others you approve.
- A staff dashboardEach person sees what to do next.
- Client updatesEmail and text at each stage, in your firm's voice.
- Letters and formsGenerated on your letterhead.
- Staff guidesWhat to do and what the client sees, step by step.
Your lawyers write or approve every intake question, fee term and client message before it goes live.Note 1
Opening your own firm?
We set up a new firm's website, intake, engagement letters, e-signature, retainer payment, email authentication and an AI-use policy in roughly ten to twelve weeks, so the partners practice from the start instead of managing vendors.Note 2
Solo practice?
We take on a few solo practices at a time. The work starts smaller: a shorter Assessment, and the software you already license configured before anything is built.
AI inside the firm, under a written policy.
If your lawyers use AI, or want to, we set it up inside the firm's own account, with a use policy for your lawyers to adopt, built around Florida Bar Ethics Opinion 24-1 and ABA Formal Opinion 512, and training for your staff.Note 3
Our record with law firms.
We built a complete client-intake platform for a Florida law firm: online intake, e-signature, payments, a case dashboard and automated client updates.Note 4
How we're paid, and who else we work for.
Our fees are fixed. They never depend on clients signed, case outcomes, legal fees or advertising spend. We take no referral fees and pay none.
At any time, we do marketing work for only one firm per practice area in Broward County. That covers marketing work, not intake or internal systems.Note 5
