We handle the paperwork around the law. The law stays yours.

Small firms in Kingsport, Johnson City, and Bristol don't have a bench of associates to absorb intake, document review, and billing cleanup. We build tools that do the first pass and stop for the attorney before anything leaves the building.

Dustin Lifford

Dustin Lifford, Kingsport. The person you call is the person who builds it.

A first draft the attorney can correct beats a blank form they have to fill.

Where a small firm's week actually goes.

Intake happens twice.

The client explains everything on the phone, then again on a form, then again at the first meeting. Every retelling is time nobody bills and one more chance for a fact to drift.

Discovery arrives by the box.

Somebody has to read all of it to find the dozen pages that matter. That somebody is usually the attorney, at night.

Billing is archaeology.

Entries like “.3 conf w/ client” have to become narratives a client will actually pay. At month end that turns into a translation project.

The same letter, again.

Status letters, document requests, and engagement letters follow the same pattern every time and still get typed from scratch.

Watch a new matter go from phone call to attorney review.

A sample estate planning inquiry with made-up details. Step through it to see which parts a tool handles and where it stops for a person.

Sample data. Nobody here is a real client.

  1. Entered once

    Person

    The front desk logs the call notes one time. Nobody retypes them after this.

  2. Conflict check list built

    Automated

    Every name in the notes (Ruth, her son, the Abingdon tenant) is pulled into a list and checked against your client records.

  3. Intake summary drafted

    Automated

    Facts are sorted into your intake template. Gaps get flagged instead of guessed: no date of birth, marital status unclear, and the Virginia property may need Virginia counsel.

  4. Attorney review

    Person

    Nothing moves until the attorney checks all three.

    Before approving, check each item
  5. Engagement letter and welcome text ready

    Automated

    Once approved, the engagement letter draft and a welcome text with the intake link are ready in your office's wording. The attorney hits send.

How the work split

3 steps automated. 2 kept with a person. Nothing reached the client without the attorney's approval.

Is this worth automating for you?

Two questions, your own numbers. If the answer is that it isn't worth paying for, we'll say that too.

How often does a new inquiry come in?
How long does each one take, start to finish?

New client intakes

Pick both to see a range.

Assumes 48 working weeks. This is time spent on the task now, not a promise of time saved. A tool usually takes a share of it, not all.

What we'd build for a firm.

Each one is scoped at a flat rate after a free first call, and each one stops for the attorney.

Intake that happens once

A form and call-notes template feeding a drafted intake summary, a conflict-check list, and an engagement letter draft.

Discovery and document summaries

Summaries by topic, date, or party, with page cites back to the source so every line can be checked.

Billing narrative cleanup

Terse time entries turned into readable narratives for attorney review before invoices go out.

Routine letters from your templates

Status letters and document requests drafted from the matter file, in your firm's wording.

Works alongside what you already use, whether that's Clio, a shared drive, or a folder of Word templates.

What stays with the attorney.

Judgment and strategy

A tool can find the clause. It can't decide what to do about it.

Talking to the client

Nothing we build gives legal advice or speaks for your firm.

Anything signed

Every draft is reviewed and signed by a licensed attorney. That step never gets automated.

Why a firm would trust us with this.

We already work with law firms.

Our law firm work includes Shipley Law Firm's ad campaigns and website and sites for Johnson City Legal and Berger Law Firm in Atlanta. We've also set up AI email and document tools for a local attorney's office.

Litigation is familiar ground.

Dustin also works as an intelligence analyst in litigation support. He knows what a missed deadline, a privilege problem, or a sloppy exhibit costs a firm.

Confidentiality comes first.

Client data stays out of consumer AI accounts, and you get the data flow in writing before anything is built. Our data handling page shows how.

Questions firms ask first.

Will this work with our practice management software?

Usually. We start with what you already use and connect to it rather than replacing it. If it can't connect cleanly, we tell you before you pay for anything.

Where does client information go?

Into accounts your firm controls, under business terms that exclude training on your data. We document the whole path in writing so you can see every place it travels.

What does it cost?

Most firm projects are scoped at a flat rate after a free 15-minute call. The first-step tool on our homepage shows typical ranges for each kind of project.

Want to talk it through?

Call, text, or pick a time. The first conversation is free.

Where are you stuck?

Nothing you type here leaves this page.

Every text is read by Dustin, not a bot.
