Your Lawyers Bill 3 Hours a Day. We Give Them Back the Other Five.
The average firm runs at 37% utilization — three billable hours inside an eight-hour day. The rest disappears into intake forms, status calls, and documents built from scratch. Up to 74% of that work can run on AI. We build the systems that hand it back, so your lawyers spend their hours thinking and arguing, not typing.
Every system is human-reviewed before it reaches a client.
Where an 8-hour day goes
Industry avg.
Billable, client-facing work2.9 hrs
Intake, status calls, drafting, admin5.1 hrs
Up to 74% of that lower band is automatable with AI. That is the gap we build against.
Where the day actually goes
You're Not Slow. Your Systems Are.
Firms don't lose hours because lawyers work slowly. They lose hours because nobody built a front door, a follow-up system, or a drafting pipeline — so every one of those jobs falls on the person billing $300 an hour to do them by hand.

Four places the firm bleeds
The Same Four Leaks, In Every Firm We've Opened Up
Losing New Clients
After-hours calls hit voicemail — 48% of firms are essentially unreachable by phone
Web leads sit untouched for ~42 hours while faster firms close them in minutes
Consults that don't sign never hear from the firm again
A website that doesn't say how to hire you loses the visitor before they call
Annoying the Clients You Already Have
Clients left guessing about matter status — the single biggest driver of complaints
Routine documents take days when they could take minutes
No portal, so every question becomes a phone call
Happy clients close their file and are never asked for a review
Wasting Time Backstage
Intake gets typed once on the phone, then typed again into the case system
Conflict checks eat 45–90 minutes per matter, done by hand
Billable minutes slip through the cracks between tasks
Every standard document gets rebuilt from a blank page
Stuck, Can't Grow
Every task routes through the owner's desk, so growth means the owner works more hours, not fewer
No referral or reactivation system running in the background
Adding capacity means hiring, and hiring means overhead
None of this is a hiring problem. It's a systems problem — and systems are what we build.
What we actually build
AI Growth Infrastructure, Not Software You Have to Babysit
We don't sell you a chatbot and walk away. We build the intake, follow-up, and document systems that plug directly into how your firm already runs — on Clio, Lawmatics, or whatever case management you use — so leads get answered, documents get drafted, and clients stay in the loop, without adding a single hire.
Scroll the diagram sideways to see the full flow
Every build runs on the same proven stack: Vapi and Retell for voice, Voiceflow for chat and intake, Make.com and n8n for automation, Bolt and Lovable for custom tools. No experimental tech. No vendor lock-in you can't explain to your malpractice carrier.
Pick the Size That Matches Where the Bleeding Is Worst
Tier 1
The Intake Engine
Fix the front door first.
24/7 AI voice receptionist that answers every call, screens by practice area, and books the consult
Instant speed-to-lead automation — a text and email inside 90 seconds of any inquiry or missed call
Conversational website intake bot that pushes structured data straight into your CRM
What it's worth
Recovering even one of the ~48% of currently-unreachable callers pays for the build — a single missed PI case is worth $18,000–$20,000. Cutting response time from the 42-hour average to under 5 minutes makes a lead 21x more likely to qualify.
Best for: A solo or 1–2 attorney firm losing after-hours leads and re-typing intake by hand.
Most common starting pointTier 2
The Client Concierge
Everything in Tier 1, plus the back office.
Automated matter-status updates and a client FAQ portal, so "any update on my case?" stops ringing the phone
Document-assembly workflows for retainers, engagement letters, and routine filings
A review-and-referral engine that asks happy clients at the right moment
What it's worth
Up to 90% less time spent drafting routine documents. Firms running client-facing intake tools see 51% more leads and 52% more revenue — this tier is built to hit that benchmark.
Best for: A growing 2–5 attorney firm where every client question still routes through the owner.
Tier 3
The Firm Operating System
Everything in Tiers 1 and 2, plus a system built around how your firm specifically works.
A custom AI application — a client-facing case-status portal, a conflict-check dashboard, or a productized intake-to-draft tool
White-glove onboarding for the attorney and staff
An ongoing optimization retainer with monthly tuning and KPI reporting
What it's worth
Automating even a portion of that 74% of automatable work is worth roughly $27,000 in reclaimed capacity per lawyer, per year. Firms with wide AI adoption are nearly 3x more likely to grow revenue — without adding headcount.
Best for: An established firm scaling case volume without scaling payroll.
Not sure which tier fits your firm?
Why a law firm, not a software vendor
Anyone Can Install Software. We Can Tell You What It's Allowed to Say.
A generic automation agency will connect your calendar to a chatbot and call it done. They can't tell you what that chatbot is allowed to say to a prospective client.
Safe scripting
Every client-facing AI gives information and process guidance, never legal advice. Scripts are written and bounded by a practicing lawyer, not a prompt engineer guessing at the line.
Human-handoff by default
No AI-generated conclusion reaches a client without attorney review. The review gate is built into the workflow itself — it isn't a policy someone has to remember to follow.

Security, confidentiality & integration
Built to Survive a Conversation With Your Malpractice Carrier
Privilege and confidentiality aren't features we add at the end. They're the constraints the system is designed inside — because the person designing it is a lawyer.
Confidentiality by design
Client data is encrypted in transit and at rest, scoped to the minimum each workflow needs, and never used to train third-party models. Vendors are selected on their data-processing terms first and their demo second.
The attorney review gate
Client-facing AI is scoped to information and process, never advice. Anything approaching a legal conclusion routes to a human before it leaves the firm — enforced in the workflow, with a logged trail of what the system said and to whom.
Integration, not replacement
Your case management stays your system of record. We connect into Clio, Lawmatics, MyCase and the rest through documented APIs — no data migration, no rip-and-replace, and no proprietary layer you can't unplug.

Questions firms actually ask
Before You Book, You Probably Want to Know
Will this replace my paralegal or intake staff?
No. It replaces the parts of their job that are pure re-typing and waiting — not judgment calls. Most firms redeploy that staff time toward the clients and matters that actually need a human.
How long until it's live?
Two weeks for discovery and setup, two weeks to build and deploy, then ongoing tuning starting week five. Tier 1 firms are usually answering every call inside a month.
What if I already use Clio or Lawmatics?
Good — we build on top of what you have. Your case management stays your system of record; we connect intake, voice, and document workflows into it.
How do I know this will actually pay for itself?
The audit answers that before you commit to anything. We measure your current missed-call rate, average lead response time, and the hours going into intake and routine drafting, then model what recovering each one is worth against your own matter values — not industry averages.
If the numbers don't clear the bar for your firm, we'll tell you that in the session. Once a build is live, we report against the same baseline monthly, so the return is measured, not asserted.
How much training will my staff need?
Under an hour for most roles, because the systems run behind the tools your team already uses. Intake lands in your case management the way it always has — it just gets there without anyone typing it. Tier 3 includes white-glove onboarding for the attorney and staff, and we run the first month of tuning ourselves.
What about data migration — do I have to move anything?
No migration. Your existing data stays exactly where it is. We connect to your systems through their documented APIs and write into them; nothing gets exported into a proprietary platform, and nothing has to be moved back if you ever unplug us.
Is client information safe, and does it train anyone's AI model?
Client data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every vendor in the stack is selected on data-processing terms that exclude using your data for model training. Access is scoped per workflow. We'll walk your specific confidentiality and carrier requirements in the audit and document exactly where data sits and who can reach it.
What if the AI says something it shouldn't?
Client-facing AI is scoped to information and process — scheduling, status, what documents are needed, what happens next. It is bounded away from advice, and anything approaching a legal conclusion routes to an attorney before it leaves the firm. Every client-facing interaction is logged and reviewable.
What actually happens in the audit?
Twenty minutes. We map where inbound goes today, where it stalls, and what each stall costs you at your matter values. You leave with the leak list and a view of which tier closes the biggest gap first — whether or not we ever work together.
Last thing
Every Day You Wait, the 5-Hour Gap Stays Open
The firm down the street is either building this right now or losing the same leads you are. A 20-minute audit will show you exactly where your firm's hours are leaking and which tier closes the gap fastest.
No obligation. You'll walk away with the leak list even if we never work together.
