For personal injury, malpractice and every practice that mails a client binder

Your client binder, without the binder.

New clients open your firm's notebook from a Client Login button on your website. They read every page, initial and sign where your flags say, add their driver's license, and book the video notary. Your staff sees it all the moment it happens.

Why firms switch

Your clients are hurting. The paperwork shouldn't add to it.

Today a new client gets a heavy binder by Priority Mail, fills in forms by hand, initials page after page, finds a notary, and mails it back. Pages get skipped. Signatures get missed. Your staff chases them for weeks.

Apps for Attorneys keeps your binder exactly as it is: your tabs, your forms, your order. It moves it online, where a client can't skip a signature, every field takes dictation, and every action is recorded with the date, time, device and IP address.

We listen

It opens like your binder.

The same tabs your clients know: Index, Investigative Report, Client Instructions with the A–N dividers, Daily Diary, Correspondence, Bills and Receipts. Pages turn like a book.

Every page asks "I have read this page," and has a box for questions, so you hear about confusion before it costs you.

Nothing missed

Flags show exactly where to sign.

Red SIGN HERE and blue INITIAL flags stick out of every page that needs one, the way your paralegal tabs a paper packet. The client adopts a signature once, then taps each flag.

The tab counts down until every one is done, and the notebook won't let them finish with a spot missing.

Identity and notary

ID, selfie and video notary, from a phone.

The client photographs their driver's license and takes a selfie, then picks a time in the next seven days for the remote notary call on the documents your state requires notarized.

The firm's view of one client: messages, investigative report answers and the daily diary

Your office

Your staff sees everything, as it happens.

Answers to the investigative report, the daily diary, uploaded bills, questions, messages and a signature certificate showing who signed what, when and from where. Reply to the client right from the file.

Keep your website exactly as it is.

We add one Client Login button. Your clients see your firm's name and colors, and your notebook, with nothing to download.

About us

Built by a business owner who has sat on the client's side of the desk.

A 100-page binder arrived by Priority Mail. Every page needed reading, many needed initials, two needed a notary. I knew there was a better way to do this for every client.

Rob Carryl spent 18 years at NCH Corporation, then bought the Jacksonville branch in 2002 and grew Reliance Supply 37-fold before selling it to a private equity group in 2021. He has chaired the board of the Florida Trucking Association and chairs the board of the Trinity Rescue Mission.

A life-changing injury has affected Rob. He can't do what he used to do, so he spends most of the day in a chair, and he spends that time programming.

Today he builds simple apps that take paper out of businesses still running on pen and envelope, starting with the client binder every injury firm mails.

Questions

What attorneys ask us

Do we have to change our website?

No. Your web person adds one Client Login button that links to your firm's portal. If you'd like it on your own address, such as portal.yourfirm.com, your IT adds one DNS record and we handle the rest.

Are electronic signatures valid?

Under the federal ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act adopted in nearly every state, electronic signatures carry the same weight as ink for most documents. Each signature records the date, time, device and IP address. Documents your state requires notarized go through a commissioned remote online notary. Your firm decides which documents are signed online.

Who can see a client's information?

Only the client and your firm's staff. Each firm's data is encrypted and kept in its own vault, and every view of a file is recorded in its audit trail.

What if a client is not comfortable with technology?

One page at a time, large type, and a microphone on every field. Clients can also save and come back later, from any device.

Can we use our own forms?

Yes. We build your notebook from your existing client manual, page for page, in the same order.

Is this legal advice software?

No. Apps for Attorneys is client-onboarding software. Your firm writes the documents and gives the advice.
