hands you a briefing: the three decisions that actually need you today.
Lawstaff is opening…
Lawstaff remembers everything else. A ready-to-work office for intake, clients, matters, billing, collections and growth — always under your supervision.
You've been doing every job in the firm.
You don't have to anymore.
hands you a briefing: the three decisions that actually need you today.
answers a new lead while you're in court. They reach a person, not voicemail.
qualifies the matter against your standards and runs the conflict check.
notices the Alvarez file has gone quiet for eleven days and drafts the check-in.
reconstructs your billable day into entries you'd have written yourself.
What changes
Answered immediately — phone, text, or web, at 2am on a Sunday — then followed up until they sign or say no.
Poor communication is one of the fastest ways to lose a client's trust. Lawstaff makes sure no file quietly goes dark.
Your day reconstructed into partner-quality time entries, billed on your schedule, and chased until it's paid.
Calls answered, leads qualified, consultations booked, retainers prepared.
Matters monitored, deadlines surfaced, correspondence and client updates prepared.
Time captured, invoices prepared, receivables followed up.
Content created, referrals nurtured, hiring supported.
Atticus reviews the whole operation and brings you the decisions that need your judgment.
Staff execute.
Atticus recommends.
Managing Partners decide.
Lawstaff prepares and recommends. Your firm approves every external, legal, and financial action.
Phones, email, calendar, and payments — connected in an afternoon, not a quarter.
Your intake criteria, templates, fee structures, and playbooks become shared knowledge every staff member works from.
Your AI staff works around the clock. You review, approve, and practice law.

Who built this
After twenty years running law-firm operations, John Jakovenko built Lawstaff around the work software leaves behind — the calls, the follow-up, the client communication, the time, the billing and the management that decide whether a firm actually works.
Grew an AmLaw 200 firm's revenue as its operations leader
Inside law-firm administration — the part nobody writes software for
The book on staffing a firm. This product is staff for a firm.
The Rhythm OS™ — durable profit, predictable cash, real enterprise value.
Practical AI for Law Firms is on the way. Every one of them is about the same thing this product is about: the business of running a law firm.
Big-law departments.
Solo-firm payroll.
Every plan includes the Legal Administrator. As Atticus gains access to more systems, data, and operational responsibility, the plan grows with him.
The easy first hire for a true solo.
The full staff, supervised daily.
For small firms with real volume.
Multi-office firms and networks.
Start easy. Upgrade when Atticus should see more of your firm — the deeper his access, the more he finds.
No. A chatbot answers when you ask. LawStaff is a team of AI staff you manage — each owns a function, follows your firm's written standards, carries its own KPIs, and runs work through an approval gate. Atticus, the Legal Administrator, coordinates them and brings you decisions, not chores.
Never. Lawstaff prepares and recommends; your firm approves every external, legal, and financial action. That is permanent, by design — Atticus recommends, the Managing Partner decides. It is also how ABA Formal Opinion 512 frames a lawyer's supervisory duty over AI assistance under Model Rules 5.1 and 5.3.
No. Start with the three staff you need most — usually reception, intake, and billing — and add the rest when you're ready. You are not adopting an org chart on day one.
Those are tools you operate. LawStaff is staff that operates the tools — it works alongside Clio and QuickBooks, syncing matters, time, and invoices, and does the work a receptionist, paralegal, biller, and marketer would do. One deep Clio integration, not ten shallow ones.
There is no demo call and no onboarding fee. A typical firm connects communications, uploads its playbooks, and is delegating within a few days.
