Make the next document request specific

Check uploads against the document request, prepare a follow-up for missing pages or periods, and keep unresolved facts in the attorney’s review queue. Your firm controls which requests and reminders are sent.

One price that covers the practice

$99 a month covers every practice area, unlimited matters, and 2 additional seats. There are no per-case fees and no AI add-on charges. Add a practice from your settings at no charge.

On the Free plan, you can send document requests to up to 15 new clients a month and see what each client sent and what is still missing. Adding clients, drafts, messages, billing, and time entries need the paid plan. Additional seats are $25/month each, or $20/month billed annually.
