Stop losing billable time to status-check phone calls

A law firm updates clients on matter status through phone calls that interrupt billable work, so both the client and the attorney lose time to status-check calls that a portal could answer. Build a portal clients can check themselves.

A phone call interrupts billable work on both ends

Every "any update?" call pulls an attorney away from billable work to explain something a portal could show instantly. It's a poor use of time for a client who's paying by the hour, and for a firm that could be working the matter instead.

Give clients a live view of matter status, documents, and messages, so a phone call becomes the exception, not the default way to get an update.

From access to invoice
  1. 1. Client is given portal access to their matter
  2. 2. Matter status and key dates are visible to the client
  3. 3. Documents are shared through the portal instead of email
  4. 4. Client messages the firm through the portal instead of calling
  5. 5. Invoices and payment status are visible to the client
