Law Firms Waste 40% of Billable Time on Admin
Attorneys spend hours every week on tasks that do not require a law degree — client intake, document management, calendaring, billing follow-ups. That is time taken away from billable work and client service.
DocketHire solves this by providing trained, dedicated legal professionals who handle the operational work so your attorneys can focus on practicing law.
