Superscript is the county’s population rank in Texas, so the gaps are part of the claim. Sized by population. Harris is 4,838,303 people and McCulloch is 7,514, and both of them got a lawyer who had done it before.

01

Volume is not the hard part.

Send the export

Anyone can accept four hundred files. The question is what happens in month three, when answers come due in eighty of them the same fortnight and nobody has opened the other three hundred and twenty. Every matter is docketed against the rule that generates its deadline, not against somebody’s memory of it.

The largest single client open docket carried at one time was four hundred matters, with single-matter collections of over $4,000,000. Contracts and unpaid accounts, partnership and LLC fights, property and covenants, collecting judgments nobody has paid. Civil litigation, statewide.

02

Every one of them runs like a single case.

Every matter is docketed against the rule that generates its deadline rather than against somebody’s memory of it. Your firm gets its own seat in the same case file — and opposing counsel can hold one too, and still not reach your side of it.

Source says where each date came from — a rule the system computed, or an order a judge signed. Only one of them moves when the court moves it. And every seat above is enforced by the database itself, 203 policies across every table, rather than by an if-statement somebody has to remember to write again.

Every Texas decision, in my pocket.

Look inside the library

Six hundred thousand of them, searchable in a heartbeat. On one case that is a convenience. On four hundred it is the difference between the controlling authority and the case somebody happened to remember.

Each center is a leading Texas decision. Each dot is a case that cites it — and the shade is how old the authority in the middle is.

If your book is spread across Texas, the firm you place it with has to already be admitted where the cases are — not “will seek admission.” What that has meant in practice: a program of sixty-six collection suits in the Bexar County courts against medical practices in a dozen states, where the fight was jurisdiction, service, and enforcing a Texas judgment somewhere else.

05

You watch it happen.

See your case online

Your own login. Every filing, every deadline, every document the day it moves — across the whole book, not one case at a time. You will never call to ask where anything stands.

06

Read a judge’s signature.

Read the orders

Ten orders, printed here in full. Most firms describe their wins. Ask one to show you the paper.

07

Know who is arguing it.

Read the CV

Nineteen years, and every matter listed with the court and the cause number. The same rule as the orders: check it rather than take my word for it.

You hand over the work, not the visibility.

How the plug-in works

The uncomfortable part of a referral was never the fee split — it is being answerable for work you can no longer see. So your firm keeps a seat in the file, your staff get their own logins, and fee division is documented to Rule 1.04(f) inside the system.

No hourly rate. Just a number.

A large firm prices a small case with the machinery it uses on a large one, which is why the small one never gets brought. A book is quoted against the book, and you get the number and the structure before any work starts. The read that tells you which one fits is free.

Free

always, no conditions

Tell me what you have

Send the docket, or one file. You get my written read on it the same day. No charge, no obligation.

Flat

per matter, in tiers

Priced by what the file needs

Tiered on the work the matter actually requires, so a book of four hundred is predictable before it starts.

Contingency

on recovery

Where recovery is the point

For a book the estate should not be funding the attempt on.

Blended

across the book

One rate, whole portfolio

The mix of straightforward and contested priced in once, against the whole of it.

Send it tonight. Know by tomorrow.

Expect more from your lawyer. Expect it from us.

A claims register, a spreadsheet, a folder of complaints, a list of cause numbers — whatever form it is in.
