The Problem

Attorneys Spend 40 to 60 Percent of Their Day on Paperwork

Every standard document pack means hours of copy-paste. Every case. Every time.

Engagement letter 30–45 min Auto-generated
Conflict check form 15 min Auto-generated
Authorization to release 20 min Auto-generated
HIPAA waiver form 15 min Auto-generated
Fee agreement 30 min Auto-generated
Intake summary memo 20 min Auto-generated
Total Per Case 2–2.5 hours → 5–10 minutes

Question 01 — Will It Make Money?

What is Manual Document Preparation Actually Costing You?

Calculate Your Document Waste
2.5
10 × 2.5 hrs = 25.0 hours/month on documents
× $300/hr = $7,500 per month in document costs
Per Month $7,500 in attorney time on docs
Per Year $90,000 drained in document prep
Hours Saved 25 hrs returned to billable work monthly
One Case Pays for the Entire Year

Starter $697 + $197/month = $3,061/year. 10 cases × 2 hours saved × $300/hr = $6,000/month recovered.

Time = Efficiency

How Much Time Does Manual Drafting Really Steal?

With Coremagna
Client fills intake form once — data extracted automatically
