Everything You Need
Powerful features built specifically for your industry.
Everything your business runs on
Booking, client records, forms, payments, reminders, and messaging in one system — instead of five apps that don’t talk to each other.
Matter Management Dashboard
See every active matter at a glance — status, deadlines, court dates, and next actions. Filter by practice area, urgency, or jurisdiction.
Court Date Tracking & Alerts
Never miss a hearing, filing deadline, or statute of limitations. Automatic calendar sync with reminders at 7 days, 48 hours, and morning-of.
Client Intake & Onboarding
Digital intake forms adapt to your practice areas — criminal, family, PI, immigration, estate, and more. Clients complete everything on their phone before the first meeting.
Retainer & Trust Accounting
Track retainer balances, log billable hours, and generate trust account statements. Automatic alerts when retainers run low.
Document Management & E-Signatures
Store and organize engagement letters, motions, agreements, and discovery. Send documents for e-signature directly from the platform.
AI Legal Research Assistant
Ask questions about your matter facts and get relevant statute references, case law summaries, and motion templates. Draft documents and client letters in minutes.
Secure Client Communication
Encrypted messaging with clients that keeps privileged communications off personal text threads. Automatic conversation logging for your matter file.
Invoicing & Payment Processing
Generate detailed invoices from tracked time, accept credit card and ACH payments, and automatically apply funds against retainer balances.
Solo-first design
Built for Solo Attorneys, Not 50-Person Firms
Enterprise legal tools charge per seat and bury you in features you don't need. Counsel is designed for how solo practitioners actually work — from the phone, between court appearances, with no admin staff.
0 missed deadlines
Never Miss a Deadline Again
Multi-layered reminders, calendar sync, and a dashboard that surfaces upcoming deadlines by urgency. Your malpractice carrier will thank you.
40% faster collection
Get Paid Faster with Less Friction
Online retainer collection, automatic balance tracking, and payment links in every invoice. Clients pay in seconds, and you spend less time chasing fees.
3+ hrs/week saved
AI That Understands Your Practice Area
Draft motions, research statutes, and generate client letters — powered by AI that adapts to criminal, family, PI, immigration, estate, business, and more.
Live in an afternoon, not a quarter
No implementation team, no data-migration project. Guided setup gets you running the same day.
