Why LegalServer

LegalServer is built exclusively for civil legal aid, public defense, and government law offices. We're not a general case management tool adapted for law, and we're not built for the profitability demands of for-profit law firms. Every screen, workflow, and report reflects our exclusive focus.

Built for your kind of practice

  • Created and continually enhanced by attorneys — not software generalists guessing at legal workflows
  • Every deployment is supported by a dedicated LegalServer team who understands the nuances of your practice areas
  • Join a community of 550+ organizations sharing similar configurations, workflows, and lessons learned — you're not starting from zero

Case management shaped by how your work actually happens

  • Intake, workflows, and case types configured specific to you, without writing code, so it adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you to adapt to it
  • Track caseloads against benchmarks by case type, so workload and capacity are always visible
  • Securely collaborate across staff and programs without losing track of who owns what

Reporting for the metrics that matter

  • Easily generate built-in reports with manager-specific views, without manual data compiling
  • Track outcomes and trends across cases to show impact, not just activity
  • See how the office is performing, with the detail managers need to make fully informed decisions
