New clients waited up to 4 business days to get onboarded. Paralegals spent most of their time on intake paperwork — entering data, chasing documents, and running conflict checks — instead of supporting active cases.

An AI-powered intake portal with conditional logic guided clients through data collection, automated document verification, and synced directly with the firm's case management software — eliminating manual data entry entirely.

Onboarding time dropped from 4 days to 45 minutes — an 87% reduction. Paralegal labor costs fell by $12,000/month, and client capacity increased 2.4x without additional hires.

15-20% of potential clients abandoned the intake process mid-way, going to competitors during the wait. Manual follow-ups were inconsistent and often too late to re-engage dropped leads.

Automated follow-up sequences triggered at optimal intervals nudge clients who haven't completed their intake, with bilingual support in English and Spanish matching the firm's client base.

60% of abandoned intakes were recovered through automated follow-ups. Lead-to-client conversion rate improved by 34%, and the firm stopped losing potential clients to slower competitors.

Manual data entry from paper forms and PDFs led to frequent errors in the case management system — incorrect dates, misspelled names, and missing document references that caused downstream delays.

AI-powered validation catches inconsistencies at the point of entry, cross-references uploaded documents against client data, and flags issues before they reach the case management system.

Data entry errors dropped to near-zero. Case preparation time decreased by 28%, and the firm gained full confidence in the accuracy of their client records from day one.
