Law firms sell time. Every minute not captured, every inefficient process, and every lost lead directly reduces revenue. Custom software plugs these leaks.

- Trust account management
- Invoice generation with matter-specific formatting
Client Intake
Every missed inquiry is a lost case:
- Online intake forms with conflict checking
- Lead scoring by case type and value
- Automated follow-up sequences
- Retainer agreement e-signature
- Fee agreement presentation
- Intake-to-case-opening automation
