Case Study: Gorman & Miller Law Firm saves time and adds 20 billable hours a month with LeanLaw

Gorman & Miller Law Firm frees up 20 billable hours a month with LeanLaw

Gorman & Miller Law Firm faced significant challenges with its previous legal billing software, PCLaw. The system was unstable, often changing invoice balances and making it difficult for controller Natali Herrador to trust the firm's financial data. Compiling productivity and work-in-progress reports was a time-consuming, manual process, and the attorneys' practice of writing time on legal pads created administrative inefficiency. Seeking a solution that integrated seamlessly with QuickBooks, the firm turned to the vendor LeanLaw.

By implementing LeanLaw, the firm automated its billing and timekeeping. The software's cloud-based platform and two-way sync with QuickBooks provided accurate, real-time data, allowing Natali to generate reports in minutes instead of hours. The solution streamlined administrative tasks so effectively that one legal assistant position was eliminated, and attorneys gained an extra 20 billable hours per month. This efficiency, along with internal tax preparation savings, provided a measurable impact, saving the firm $5,000 annually and significantly increasing capacity. LeanLaw's automation directly stabilized invoicing and freed up valuable time for the legal team.
