Clients don't want to call your office. They want to check their case from their phone.
We build mobile apps for law firms and legal services businesses — client portals, document request flows, case status updates, and secure communication that reduces the volume of status calls to your staff. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Your paralegals spend two hours a day answering status calls from clients who have no other way to check in. A client-facing mobile app eliminates 80% of those calls with push notifications and a self-serve status view.
Law firm clients experience anxiety in direct proportion to how little information they have about their case. When a client doesn't hear from their attorney for two weeks, they call. Then they call again. Then they email. Then they leave a review mentioning that communication was poor. The irony is that the case may be progressing exactly on schedule — but without visibility, the client assumes silence is stagnation.
The standard solution in most firms is still the paralegal status call: a firm with 10 attorneys might have a paralegal spending 30 to 40% of their time fielding status inquiries that could be answered by a status indicator on a screen. Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther all have client portals — web-based ones that clients rarely use because logging into a web portal on mobile is friction that clients don't bother with.
A native mobile app changes the adoption equation. Push notifications are opened at much higher rates than portal emails. A client who has your app on their phone is a client who actually sees the document request you sent. The matter status screen they check before the status call — is the one that eliminates the status call.
A branded mobile app where clients track their matter, receive document requests, sign forms, and communicate with their assigned attorney — without calling the front desk.
Matter status timeline
Clients see where their case is in the process — a timeline with the current stage, upcoming milestones, and recent activity — without calling. Pushed when status changes.
Document requests and uploads
Attorney sends a document request in the app; client gets a push notification, opens it, and uploads from their phone's camera or files. No fax, no email attachment chase.
Secure in-app messaging
End-to-end encrypted direct messaging between client and their attorney or paralegal — not SMS, not personal email. A maintained thread with full message history.
Court date and appointment reminders
Hearing dates, deposition schedules, signing appointments, and deadlines pushed automatically from the matter timeline.
E-signature on documents
Client reviews and signs retainer agreements, authorisation forms, and settlement documents from the app — DocuSign or native signature flow. Built with Expo and React Native, Convex for real-time messaging, encrypted document storage, and DocuSign API for e-signature workflows.

Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Law firms operate on defined matters with billable structures — unpredictable overhead costs (like an open-ended software development engagement) don't fit the model. A fixed-price app build with a defined scope and delivery date is the right commercial structure for a firm or legal software company with defined practice areas.

The messaging layer uses end-to-end encryption with keys managed per-matter. Messages are not stored in plaintext in any database. The architecture is designed to support privilege protection, though formal legal privilege is a legal doctrine separate from technical security — your firm's counsel should confirm the specific privilege assertions.
We support magic-link onboarding — the firm sends an invite, the client clicks, and the app opens pre-authenticated to their matter. No manual account creation required.
Yes. Matter types (personal injury, estate planning, immigration, family law) have different stage labels, document types, and milestone definitions — all configurable per practice area from the firm's admin panel.
A client portal app with matter status, document requests, secure messaging, reminders, and e-sign on iOS and Android typically runs $55k–$90k. Fixed-price.
