What it does

10-STEP BANKRUPTCY WORKFLOW

Keep the whole case moving in one place

Each case shows where the routine work stands: roadmap, intake, portal, docs, autofill, drafts, messages, court events, calendar, and billing. Click the next step and keep moving.

PROSPECT ROADMAPS

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 roadmaps

Send a plain-language roadmap from the lead record and keep the follow-up with the inquiry.

MEANS TEST PRE-POPULATION

Uploaded documents become fields to verify

Your client completes intake and uploads paystubs, bank statements, tax returns, and employment letters. DocketBuddy maps supported values into the means test with source evidence for attorney review.

STUDENT LOAN WORKBENCH

Review federal and private student-loan discharge paths in one workspace

Import client facts and loan records, organize hardship and good-faith evidence, separate federal and private strategy, and generate an attorney report or DOJ attestation worksheet for review.

Scope and limits

Attorney control stays built into the workflow.

DocketBuddy organizes the file, surfaces questions, and prepares reviewable work. Your firm decides the legal treatment and approves anything sent or filed.

Where DocketBuddy stops matters

Automate the routineSurface the evidenceKeep judgment with the attorney

DocketBuddy separates governing authority from matter evidence, shows where each important fact came from, and keeps attorney review between the analysis and anything sent or filed.

Explore coverage evidence →See security and privacy →

Authority posture in view

When a workflow applies a legal rule, its citation, source status, and jurisdiction stay close enough to verify before relying.

Matter evidence stays separate

Uploaded documents, client answers, and attorney-entered facts keep distinct labels and preserve their source context.

Uncertainty stays visible

Missing, stale, or conflicting proof remains a clear item for attorney review instead of disappearing inside generated work product.

Client data stays protected

✓Encrypted in transit and at rest
✓Firm data isolated with row-level security
✓Client data excluded from AI model training
✓Published privacy, export, and deletion controls
