What it does

The short version

Counted Legal connects client intake, matters, documents, research, bankruptcy preparation, billing and firm finances in one workspace, with an attorney reviewing every legal step. Nora handles reception and Carina supports paralegal preparation.

  • Carries a caller from first inquiry to a reviewed intake, a matter and an engagement without re-typing the story.
  • Keeps document requests, received items and missing information next to the matter they belong to.
  • Builds source-search plans for research, opens official resources and keeps findings with the matter.
  • Turns recorded time and expenses into draft bills for review, and shows trust/IOLTA three-way reconciliation on sample records.

How it works

    Nora welcomes the caller and captures the reason for calling.
  2. Matter and documents
    Reviewed intake becomes a matter with document requests.
  3. Research and prepare
    Carina prepares source-linked drafts and research notes.
  4. Attorney review
    The responsible attorney reviews and releases the work.
