Family Law Billing Software That Builds Trust & Frees Your Time

Put Your Clients First
Family law is emotionally demanding. Your clients are going through some of the hardest times of their lives. High volumes of billing adjustments, the intricacies of trust accounting, and the pressure of maintaining sensitive client relationships can take a toll. LeanLaw simplifies your firm's financial workflows, ensures compliance, and frees you to focus on what matters most: guiding families with compassion and expertise.

“I’d bet we have the best collections rate of any medium to large law firm in the state. LeanLaw allows us to focus on the human aspect of payment discussions, rather than getting bogged down in the technicalities of communicating costs and timelines.”

Ian Ebmeir, Chief Operating Officer, Walters Gilbreath PLLC

The Hidden Challenges Draining Family Law Firms

You’re not just managing legal cases; you’re navigating complex emotions, sensitive financial situations, and the well-being of families.

Managing trust accounts and retainers demands absolute precision. Mistakes can damage client trust and lead to compliance headaches.
Alternative payment plans, frequent adjustments, and the need for transparent billing add layers of complexity to an already demanding workload.
Hours spent on manual data entry and reconciling accounts take you away from the client-focused work that truly matters.
Without financial transparency, building and sustaining trust can feel like an impossible task.
