We have supported law firms for the last 10 years, so we know where small firms get stuck.
Confidential client files
Client data spread across laptops, email and personal drives is hard to protect and hard to find.
Wire-fraud and phishing emails
Firms are a top target for fake invoices, spoofed client emails and changed wiring instructions.
A filing deadline and a dead PC
When a computer or the network fails on deadline day, you need help today, not a ticket number.
Working from court or home
Attorneys need safe access to files from the courthouse, home and the road.
Software that won’t talk
Practice management, document management, billing and Outlook all need to work together.
Departing staff
Accounts, files and devices have to be shut off cleanly the day someone leaves.

Common questions
Do you work with small law firms?
Yes. Small firms and offices are who we work with most, and we have supported Cifelli, Scrementi and Dore for more than 10 years.
Can you support our practice management software?
Yes. We work with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, Tabs3, PCLaw and many others. If you use something we haven’t seen, we learn it and work with the vendor’s support team for you.
How do you protect against wire-fraud emails?
We set up email filtering and multi-factor sign-in, flag outside senders, train staff to spot fake payment requests and help you set a call-back rule for any change to wiring instructions.
