How we implement

Built around how work actually runs in criminal defense

We design intake with your attorneys so it collects what you need and nothing that should only be discussed in a privileged consultation.

Discovery call: We walk through your current process and tools (free, 30 minutes).

Workflow map & fixed quote: Written scope, software costs listed separately, compliance notes included.

Build in a test environment: Your accounts, test data first, then a supervised pilot.

Handover: Documentation, training and an optional support plan.

Limitations & compliance notes

  • Intake avoids collecting incriminating details.
  • No legal advice.

General information, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with your own counsel or compliance officer.
