I'm an attorney who turned her career in criminal defense into legal tech. I know the practice side of litigation, and I also know the tools that do and do not make lawyers' lives easier.

If your files live across like five different folders, 13 different email chains, a text message thread, and a dozen stickies color-coded and taped to the edge of your paralegal's computer monitor, we got to fix that.

Filing deadlines, task lists, delegations, follow-ups on prospective clients. Automate that, because we have way more important things to do and to bill for. Built-in time tracking is huge, huge. Firms lose so much money simply because time just doesn't get logged properly.
