Deadline check

Response to motion to compel

First count: Mar 18
Second count: Mar 18
Result: Counts match

The date counts only after the second count agrees with the first.

Cash flow, counter-checked

Delgado v. Kessler — money in the matter

Hospital bill, scanned: $12,400
Meridian Mutual paid: $11,780
Counter-check: $620 short, flagged

Every scanned invoice, bill and payment is read and matched, line by line. A discrepancy is flagged; the attorney settles it.

Renames every file

Hand it Scan_0042.pdf and it comes back named for the matter and the document, so the folder reads like a docket.

Double-checks every deadline

Each date is counted a second time before it counts. Two counts, one answer, and only then does the date count.

One flat price per firm

A monthly price for the firm, not a bill that grows with every matter. No annual billing and no trial.

Made for real practice

Built first for family law and general practice: hearings, filings and affidavits.
