One missed after-hours PI lead can cost $15,000–$75,000+ in contingent fees.
We build branded client portals and mobile apps with injury-type intake, accident photo upload, e-sign retainers, milestone push, and CasePeer / Filevine / Clio sync — so U.S. personal injury firms capture cases before competitors call back.

What your current process is costing you
Most PI leads search on mobile nights and weekends — right after the crash. A generic PMS portal does nothing for that moment.
If you miss five after-hours leads a month and even two would have become car retainers at $25,000 average contingent value, that's $50,000/month walking to the firm that answers first. A custom intake app closes that window.
CasePeer and Filevine portals help after the case is open. They do not replace branded injury-type intake, scene photo capture, and retainer e-sign when someone is still standing on the shoulder.
Lead response odds collapse after the first minutes. When a Sunday night inquiry sits until Monday, the prospect has already spoken with two other PI firms. Speed is now a core competitive advantage.
Every feature closes a specific revenue leak — from after-hours missed calls to status-call overload to unsigned retainers.
Secure web and mobile login with your firm's branding — clients see your name, not a generic CasePeer or Clio label.
Separate flows for car accidents, slip & fall, truck crashes, and wrongful death — mapped to your matter types.
Clients capture scene photos, medical records, and insurance cards directly from their phone after an accident.
Digital contingency agreements and HIPAA-aware medical authorization forms — signed before the first office visit.
Demand letter sent, settlement offer received, deposition scheduled — clients stay informed without calling your office.
CasePeer, Filevine, Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, and Smokeball API sync — no forced migration from your current stack.
We do not build vanity apps. We build the shortest path from crash to contingency agreement — then keep clients informed so they stay.
Pre-qualifies car vs truck vs premises matters so attorneys see case value before the first call
Preserves evidence while the client is still at the scene — strengthens liability and settlement leverage
Converts high-intent leads into signed retainers nights and weekends — before competitor #2 calls back
Cuts status calls, lifts Google reviews, and keeps clients from shopping for a second opinion mid-case
Intake lands in your existing matter file — no double entry, no platform rip-and-replace
PI demand does not wait for business hours. Your app must capture intake, push updates, and keep clients from calling — or shopping — mid-case.
Injury-type forms, photo upload, and e-sign designed for one-handed use after a crash — not a desktop portal afterthought.
Injured clients do not live in email. Milestone push for settlements, depositions, and treatment cuts status-call volume and lifts satisfaction.
Informed clients leave stronger Google reviews and stay through settlement — protecting case value and referral pipeline.
No platform migration. No replacing CasePeer or Filevine. We build a branded client-facing layer that syncs with your existing PMS via secure API.
Don't see your PMS? We integrate with any platform that exposes an API.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Working software every two weeks.
We map your after-hours call volume, injury-type mix, and PMS stack — then define the minimum build that closes the retainer leak. You leave with a clear scope, fixed price, and delivery timeline.
Branded UI, encrypted back-end, injury-type intake, and PMS integration delivered in two-week sprints. You test against real PI matters at every sprint review — no surprises at launch.
App Store submission, staff training, and client onboarding support. Quarterly reviews add new injury pathways, push rules, or integrations as your practice grows.
PI firms typically evaluate four paths. Here's how they compare across the factors that actually matter.
Accident photos, medical records, and contingency agreements are among the most sensitive data your firm holds. Security is default — not an add-on.
Medical records and case files protected at every storage layer
All data encrypted between client, app, and servers
Only authorized clients access sensitive case information
Medical authorizations stored with role-based access and audit logs
Every client-attorney interaction logged for compliance
Full source code and IP transfer at launch — no lock-in
Run it for your firm. Contingency economics make custom intake infrastructure one of the highest-ROI tech investments in plaintiff practice.
After-hours leak vs. mobile intake capture
Framed from industry intake studies + PI portal benchmarks (Case Status call-reduction claims) + Legal Length PI cohort results.
Example: Mid-sized PI firm recovering after-hours car retainers
Net result: portal often paid back with 1–2 signed cases
ROI in weeks, not years
Based on recovering after-hours car retainers + status-call capacity freed. Your discovery call includes firm-specific numbers.
One retained case covers the entire custom build
Real firms. Real retainers. Real intake outcomes.
“Our custom PI app cut status-call volume by 40% in the first 60 days. Clients upload accident photos and sign retainers from their phone before we even get them on a call — that's cases we would have lost to slower firms.”
“Legal Length built a branded portal on top of our CasePeer stack without forcing us to switch platforms. Injury-type intake forms for car accidents and slip & fall alone doubled our after-hours sign-up rate.”
“Push notifications for settlement offers and deposition dates changed how our clients experience the firm. Our Google review score went from 4.2 to 4.8 in six months — clients feel informed, not ignored.”
The questions personal injury attorneys ask before committing to a build partner — answered directly.
Bundled portals work when clients accept a generic PMS experience and you only need basic messaging and document share. Custom PI app development makes sense when you need branded mobile intake, injury-type questionnaires, accident-scene photo upload, medical-authorization e-sign, or push workflows your PMS does not offer natively. We scope the smallest build that closes the revenue leak — often a secure portal first, with native iOS and Android when push and offline access justify the investment. You keep CasePeer, Filevine, or Clio; we extend them.
Faster than most managing partners expect. One signed car-accident retainer commonly runs $15,000–$75,000+ in contingent fees. A portal-only build starts around $25,000–$35,000. Recover two after-hours leads your competitors would have signed, and the build is paid for. Add status-call reduction and higher review scores, and the ongoing ROI compounds every month.
Yes. We build custom client portals and mobile apps as a front-end layer on top of your existing practice-management system — syncing matters, contacts, documents, and calendar events via secure API. You keep your current PMS; we extend it with PI-branded intake, push notifications, and injury-type workflows without forcing a platform migration.
A focused client portal with secure login, injury-type intake, document upload, e-sign, and case status updates typically ships in 8–12 weeks. Full native iOS and Android apps with push notifications, accident photo flows, and PMS integration run 12–20 weeks depending on scope. We work in two-week sprints with working software you can test against real matters.
Portal-only builds start around $25,000–$35,000. Native iOS and Android apps with PMS integration, injury-type intake, and push notifications typically range from $40,000–$90,000 depending on integrations and feature depth. We provide a fixed-scope quote after discovery — no open-ended hourly billing.
100%. Full source code, design files, App Store accounts, and deployment documentation transfer to you at launch. No proprietary lock-in, no monthly platform rental tied to our stack. You can move to any developer or host at any time.
Tell us your injury mix, current PMS, and monthly intake volume — we'll return a scoped portal plan and an intake ROI estimate within 24 hours. No obligation, no generic pitch deck.
