What you get

The whole engagement, end to end

From the retainer conversation to the 1099 — without a spreadsheet in the middle of it.

Every case in one record

Retaining and opposing counsel, court and case number, engagement type, and a rate structure that belongs to this matter alone.

Rates that follow the work

Twelve activity types out of the box, each with its own rate per case. An entry stores the rate it was logged at, so raising your fee is never retroactive.

A timer that survives a closed tab

Elapsed time is computed on the server, so a dropped connection or a closed laptop does not lose the afternoon.

Invoices that hold up

Timestamped entries, activity descriptions and rate breakdowns. Split between payers, draw down a retainer, void without erasing the paper trail.

Records requests, not Dropbox

Send an itemised checklist to an attorney or custodian. They upload without an account; nothing joins the case file until you accept it.

Your data stays yours

Full export whenever you want it, and a tax-year summary with a redacted variant that omits attorney names.

    Stay disclosure-ready

    Testimony entries build themselves from your time logs. The Rule 26 list is always current.

Why this and not time-and-billing

The two documents that decide whether you are retained again

Generic billing software cannot produce either of these, and assembling them by hand the week before a deadline is where mistakes happen.

Rule 26(a)(2)(B) testimony disclosure
Scanned from the activity types you already log, so the trailing four-year list is current without being maintained. Exports as a court-ready PDF, and older entries age out on their own.
Daubert & Frye admissibility record
Every challenge, its outcome, and a favourable rate that counts only actual rulings — withdrawn and pending challenges are excluded from both sides of the calculation, because they are not judgements on your testimony.

Document requests

Stop chasing transcripts over email

Send an attorney or records custodian an itemised list of what you need. They get a private link and upload without creating an account.

  • Each item tracked separately, so you can see what is still outstanding
  • Nothing joins the case file until you accept it
  • Reject with a reason and the item reopens on their page
  • Every arrival lands in the case activity feed

In practice

Built from how this work actually runs

Illustrative scenarios from the practices this was designed around.

“The rate-per-case handling is the thing. I bill three different hourly rates depending on who retained me and what I am doing, and I used to reconcile that by hand every month.”
RLForensic engineerPlaintiff and defense, 14 years testifying
“I had a Rule 26 list in a spreadsheet that was always three months stale. Now it builds itself from the hours I was logging anyway.”
MKEconomic damages analystCommercial litigation
“Splitting one invoice between two firms used to mean two documents and a note to myself about who had paid what.”
SALife care plannerIME and DME work
“Voiding an invoice without destroying the record of it mattered more than I expected it to.”

Questions

Before you start the trial

No. The billing is there, but the reason to use it is the Rule 26(a)(2)(B) disclosure and the Daubert/Frye admissibility record — neither of which generic billing software can produce. Rates are also structured per case and per activity, which is how expert engagements are actually priced.

Nothing is deleted. The app becomes read-only behind a subscription prompt, and subscribing restores full access to exactly the same data. You can export everything at any point, trial or not.

Yes — that is the point of document requests. You send an itemised checklist, the recipient gets a private link, and they upload with no account and no software. Files are quarantined until you accept them, so an unreviewed upload never enters the case file.

Only when you explicitly send something: a document request, or a reply you have marked as going to the recipient. Invoice reminders are self-nudges — the system never chases the person who owes you money on your behalf.

Yes. Invite them from Team settings and they see the whole practice — cases, time, invoices. Roles control who can change billing and permissions, and the practice always keeps at least one owner.

The import wizard takes CSV, XLSX and XLS, auto-maps the columns, matches shorthand activity names like “Depo Prep”, and shows you a side-by-side comparison before anything is written. Nothing persists until you confirm the final count.

Set up your practice in an afternoon

Add a case, log an hour, generate an invoice. If it does not fit how you work, export everything and walk away.
