Clients judge a law firm by how long they wait

A prospective client can’t grade your motion practice. They can grade how fast you answered and whether they ever had to call to ask what’s happening.

What we build for law firms

  • Intake that asks what a lawyer would ask

    Matter type, the other parties, the county and whether a deadline is running. Adverse parties come first, so conflicts can be checked before anyone hears the substance.

  • Consultations without the phone tag

    A scheduler that reads attorney calendars offers live availability with the intake attached, so a prospect books in one sitting.

  • A portal that answers the where-are-we call

    Litigation and probate move in silences that feel like neglect. A status page shows the current stage and what the firm is waiting on, something to check at 9 pm instead of a call at 9 am.

  • From consult to signed engagement

    Engagement letters are generated from your templates and sent for e-signature the day of the consult.

Ellery & Stroud LLP

The intake reader pulls the parties and key dates out of a client’s own words and stages the matter. Ellery & Stroud is a company we invented, so we could build its website and back office in full.

Practice management, connected

Firms run on practice management like Clio, MyCase, Smokeball or PracticePanther.

  • Intake that lands as a matter

    Intake writes the lead into that system with the parties and conflicts fields already structured, so nobody retypes an email.

  • Document chasing that clears itself

    A request list in the portal, with reminders on schedule, turns a paralegal’s follow-up calls into a queue, and files move through secure document exchange.

Where AI helps inside the firm

  • Consult briefs

    Before the meeting, the inquiry becomes a one-page brief of the parties and the timeline. Nothing in a brief is legal analysis.

  • First drafts from your templates

    Routine updates and letters are drafted from the firm’s own templates, and an attorney reviews everything before it leaves the firm.

  • Search across the firm’s own work

    Find the memo a partner wrote three years ago on the same issue. Search respects matter-level access and stays inside the firm.

Most client frustration builds in the gaps between the legal work

The inquiry nobody answered and the silence after a filing are where clients lose patience. We scope from how matters move through your firm.
