Custom Apps for Law Firms
Software for the Parts of the Job No Product Fits
Medical records gathering, custom intake systems, client portals: the productivity work your main software leaves to a spreadsheet and somebody's memory.
Every firm ends up with a handful of jobs that no off-the-shelf product quite covers, handled instead by a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, and somebody's memory. Those are the jobs worth building software for.
You Are Looking at One Right Now
Major Verdict is not a brochure site. It is custom software we wrote and run ourselves, and everything below is a working part of it you can go and open.
Accounts, billing and a portal
Member logins, subscription billing, profile management and a directory covering all fifty states, all of it built here rather than assembled out of plugins.
A publication, and the tool that feeds it
The verdict archive runs on a content system built for it, fed by an internal app of ours that reads the day's legal news and surfaces what is worth covering.
AI in production, with the brakes on
Our settlement calculator runs on a live model behind a personal-data scrubber, a spend cap, rate limits and a kill switch. Shipping that is a different job from demoing it.
None of that is a case study we are quoting back at you. It is the thing you are reading, which is the only kind of proof that cannot be dressed up.
What We Build
Not a product we are trying to sell you a seat on. Software for the places your main system falls short.
A worked example · Personal injury
Medical records gathering
Requesting records, chasing the providers who ignore the first request, tracking what has come back, and working out what is still missing. On most cases that job lives in somebody's head, a spreadsheet, and a stack of faxes, and it is nowhere in your case management system because no product owns it end to end.
A worked example · Estate planning
Getting documents executed
Which client has signed, which still needs a witness or a notary, which packet went out three weeks ago and never came back. It is the same job every time and it is tracked, almost everywhere, by one person reading down a list and sending reminders by hand.
Different practice areas, same shape of problem, and it is the shape worth building for: repetitive, specific to how your firm runs, and expensive in staff hours every single week. Whatever your firm does, there is a version of this in it.
Client portals and secure messaging
Status calls stop landing on your staff, because clients can see where things stand and send an update themselves. Built around how your firm actually works with a client, which is why it is scoped and priced on its own rather than switched on.
Intake that scores and routes itself
New matters arrive already sorted, with the details your staff actually needs, before anyone has had to read through them one at a time.
Dashboards built around your firm
The numbers your partners actually ask about, on one screen, instead of assembled by hand at the end of every month.
Connected to what you already run
Built to sit alongside the systems you already run, or to fully replace them if that is what you want. Nobody is asked to migrate everything on day one.
How a Build Actually Runs
Small, scoped, and pointed at one job that is costing you hours. Nothing here starts with a platform migration.

Before anything is quoted
Find the bottleneck
We look for the jobs living in a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, and somebody's memory: the work that repeats every week, that only one person fully understands, and that no product you pay for actually owns. That is where the hours are going.
-
What it costs and when it lands
Scope the smallest useful build
If a product already does the job well, we will tell you to buy the product. What is left is the part specific to your firm, and that is the part worth building. You get a delivery date in the same breath as the number, and neither one moves.
-
Yours, not rented
Built, connected and handed over
Made to sit alongside the systems you already run that work, or to replace the ones that do not. You own what gets built and it can run on your own infrastructure, which is the opposite of another seat rented monthly on somebody else's server.
-
The part that decides whether it worked
Rolled out to the people who use it
Taken to the staff who will touch it every day, with enough training that it is still in use in the second month. Most software inside law firms does not fail technically. It gets quietly abandoned by people who were handed it and left to it.
-
After it is in use
Improved on what you learn
The first version teaches everyone what the second one should do, and some of what seemed essential turns out not to be. Software that stops changing is software that has stopped fitting how the firm actually works.
When You Should Not Hire Us for This
If an existing product already does the job well, buy the product. Plenty of the day to day is served perfectly well by software that has had years of work poured into it, and we will say so rather than quote you a build you do not need.
Custom software earns its cost in the gaps: the workflow that is specific to how your firm runs, the integration nobody sells, the thing your staff currently does by hand because no vendor thought of it.
Most of this work happens alongside a website build, and a portal can be scoped into the same quote. See what a Build includes, or read how we built one for a Colorado firm.
