Case Study: Nyhus Law Firm achieves a 75% increase in billable hours with LeanLaw

75% Increase in Billable Hours for Nyhus Law’s Paralegal

Nyhus Law Firm faced a challenge with a paralegal who was struggling to accurately capture her billable hours. Although she was working seven to eight hours on client work, she was only billing for four, forcing her to work overtime to account for her day. Firm owner Chris Nyhus needed a way to provide perspective and show the importance of recording all billable time.

Using LeanLaw’s timekeeper productivity reports, Chris was able to demonstrate billing best practices and the value of capturing time, even on fixed-fee matters. This solution led to a 75% increase in the paralegal's billable hours, as she gained a clearer understanding of her time's value. LeanLaw provided the real-time data and metrics necessary to fix productivity issues and improve employee retention.
