About DocketBuddy
Software for solo attorneys and small firms
DocketBuddy connects client acquisition, intake, case work, billing, and practice-specific intelligence.
Why DocketBuddy exists
Built for the administrative work solo firms carry
DocketBuddy started as free public guides for people facing bankruptcy, divorce, immigration, and other legal matters. These processes are hard to follow from the outside, so the guides give people a clearer next step and a more direct way to ask for help.
Building those guides showed how much administrative work falls on the solo attorneys and small firms who take these cases. DocketBuddy grew into software for that work.
The same process can be routine to the system and life-changing to the person inside it.

Practitioner review helps define what needs a source and what must remain an attorney decision.
Operating commitments
Show the source and the limit together
Public tools explain what they calculate, what they cannot determine, and where the underlying information came from.
Collect less before asking for more
Most public guides work without an account or case narrative. Any handoff should be a separate, understandable choice.
Do not sell client or Public Guides data
Our business is paid software for independent law firms – not selling personal information or case details.
Publish gaps instead of smoothing them over
Coverage stays limited when a required source, review, classification, or product connection does not pass.
Keep legal judgment with the attorney
DocketBuddy organizes and prepares. Licensed attorneys advise, decide, and remain responsible for legal work.
DocketBuddy is operated by Buddy Labs LLC, an Atlanta-based software company.
