Your Firm Pays Per Seat.
We Don't Charge That Way.

Custom-built AI stack focused on downside risk and failure prevention, not generic no-code automation. The engine does not depend on retrieval patching for memory. It adapts to validated new information in under a minute and commits only what passes a five-point source-truth gate.

Clio charges $159/user/month. For a 10-attorney firm, that's $19,080 a year - and you still don't get AI. Attorney Minds is a flat $399.99/month for your entire firm, with built-in legal research, document analysis, and AI drafting. That's $15,000+ back in your pocket every year.

Sound Familiar?

These are the problems every growing law firm hits. They're costing you more than you think.

Per-Seat Pricing Is Bleeding You Dry

Every new associate, every paralegal, every clerk - that's another $49–$159/month on your Clio or MyCase bill. A 15-person firm pays $23,000+ a year just for practice management. You shouldn't need a spreadsheet to figure out what your software costs.

Attorney Minds charges a flat monthly fee. Add 5 users or 50 - your price doesn't change.

Legal Research Is a Separate Bill

You're paying for practice management AND Westlaw/LexisNexis AND now you need an AI tool for drafting. Three vendors, three bills, three logins. Your research doesn't talk to your documents, which don't talk to your matters. Everything is siloed.

Attorney Minds includes AI-powered legal research, document analysis, and drafting - all built in. One platform. One bill.

Client Data in Someone Else's Cloud

Your ethical obligation is clear: protect client confidentiality. But your practice management software stores everything on shared multi-tenant servers you don't control. One vendor breach and every client file you've ever managed is exposed.

Attorney Minds deploys on YOUR servers. Single-tenant. Your client data never touches our infrastructure.

Practice Management Built for How Lawyers Actually Work

Not another generic project manager wearing a legal costume. Attorney Minds was built from the ground up for law firms - with AI that understands legal work, not just auditable capability chains.

AI Legal Research - Built In

Stop paying $200+/month per attorney for Westlaw on top of your practice management. Attorney Minds includes AI-powered legal research that surfaces relevant case law, statutes, and precedent directly inside your matter workspace. Research findings automatically link to your documents and timeline.

Document Analysis That Actually Reads

Upload a contract, a deposition transcript, or a 200-page discovery bundle. The AI extracts key clauses, flags inconsistencies, identifies risks, and summarizes findings - in minutes, not hours. Your associates spend their time thinking, not reading for the third time.

AI Drafting - First Drafts in Minutes

Generate motions, demand letters, contract clauses, and client correspondence using AI that understands legal conventions and your firm's voice. Review and refine instead of starting from scratch. Available on Professional and Enterprise plans.

Client Data Stays on Your Servers

Single-tenant deployment on YOUR infrastructure. While Clio and MyCase store every firm's data on the same shared cloud, Attorney Minds runs in your environment. You control the encryption keys, the backups, and the access. Your ethical duty to protect client confidentiality - handled by architecture, not a privacy policy.

Flat-Fee Pricing. Add Users Free.

Per-seat pricing punishes growth. Attorney Minds charges one flat monthly fee for your entire firm. Onboard a new associate? Add a paralegal? Bring on a contract attorney for a case? Zero additional cost. Your software bill shouldn't scale with your headcount.

Deploy in Hours, Not Months

Filevine quotes months of implementation and $10K+ in setup fees. Attorney Minds deploys on your infrastructure in under an hour. Connect your data, set up roles, start working. If you can deploy a Docker container, you can deploy Attorney Minds.

From Signup to First AI Research in Under an Hour

Three steps. No implementation consultants. No training workshops.

1

Deploy on Your Servers

Install Attorney Minds on your infrastructure - cloud VM, on-premise server, or private cloud. Single-tenant always. Your client data, your environment, your encryption keys. Takes under an hour.

2

Set Up Your Firm

Create user accounts with role-based access: Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, or ReadOnly. Import existing matters, clients, and documents. Set up practice areas and billing preferences. The platform adapts to your firm's structure - not the other way around.

3

Start Practicing Smarter

Run your first AI legal research query. Upload a document for analysis. Generate a first draft. All from the same platform where you manage matters, track deadlines, and bill clients. No context switching. No separate tools.

AI That Understands Legal Work

This isn't ChatGPT with a legal prompt. Attorney Minds uses deterministic, explainable AI built specifically for legal practice.

Your Ethical Duty, Our Architecture

ABA Model Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to client information. "Our vendor says it's secure" isn't a reasonable effort. Controlling where the data lives is.

Single-tenant deployment means Attorney Minds runs entirely on your infrastructure. Your client files, case notes, billing records, and privileged communications never leave servers you control. No shared databases with other firms. No vendor access to your data. No training AI on your work product.

For managing partners: Full control over data residency, backup policies, and encryption keys. Deploy in any jurisdiction your bar association requires.

For IT administrators: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. RBAC with four permission tiers: Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, and ReadOnly. Full audit logging for every action.

For compliance officers: SOC 2 Type II certification available. Your data never leaves your servers, making compliance documentation straightforward instead of a negotiation with your vendor.

Flat-Fee Pricing. No Per-Seat Surprises.

Every competitor charges per user. We charge per firm. Add attorneys, paralegals, clerks, and contract staff - your price stays the same. Every plan includes full API access, dashboard, and deployment support on your infrastructure.

SOC 2 Type II Available

Demonstrate to your clients that their data is protected by independently audited security controls. Available as a 20% add-on to any plan.

AES-256 + TLS 1.3

Encryption at rest and in transit. Your encryption keys stay with you. We never hold, manage, or have access to your client data or encryption keys.

4-Tier RBAC

Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, ReadOnly. Control exactly who sees what. Paralegals see their assigned matters. ReadOnly users can't modify records. Fully auditable.

Single-Tenant Isolation

No shared databases. No shared compute. No shared anything. Your instance is completely yours - on every plan, not just Enterprise. ABA Model Rule 1.6 compliance by design.

No Training on Your Data

We never use your client data, work product, or case files to train AI models. Period. Attorney-client privilege is non-negotiable, and so is this policy.

Complete Audit Trail

Every login, every document access, every modification - logged and queryable. When a client or regulator asks who accessed what and when, you have the answer instantly.

Questions You're Probably Asking

Straight answers. No sales speak. These are the objections we hear most.

Three fundamental differences. First, pricing: they charge per user per month, so your bill grows every time you hire. Attorney Minds is a flat fee for unlimited users. Second, AI: their platforms are auditable capability chain tools - calendars, billing, document storage. Attorney Minds includes built-in AI legal research, document analysis, and drafting that's integrated into the platform, not bolted on. Third, security: they store your client data on their shared cloud. Attorney Minds deploys on your servers. You control the data.

Per-seat pricing was designed to maximize vendor revenue, not to reflect actual costs. Adding a user to software costs the vendor essentially nothing - they charge for it because they can. Since Attorney Minds deploys on your infrastructure (not ours), our costs don't scale with your headcount, so neither does your price. We built the pricing model to reflect how software actually works, not how incumbents have trained the market to accept.

Subscribe through the Detailed In Design portal, receive your deployment package, and deploy on your servers. Remote setup assistance is included free with every plan - our team walks you through installation, configuration, and first-run testing over a video call. If you prefer on-site deployment support, that's covered by the one-time setup fee. Either way, most firms are fully operational within an hour: users created, roles assigned, matters imported, and first AI research query running.

Your client data stays on your servers. Period. Attorney Minds deploys on your infrastructure - single-tenant, always. We never see your data, store it, access it, or train on it. You control the encryption keys, the backups, and the access policies. This isn't a privacy setting - it's the architecture. There is no multi-tenant option because we don't believe client-privileged data should ever be commingled with another firm's data. ABA Model Rule 1.6 compliance by design, not by policy.

The AI uses a deterministic, purpose-built engine - not a general-purpose chatbot. It surfaces relevant case law, statutes, and regulatory guidance with citations. Every result links to its source authority so you can verify before relying on it. The AI is a research accelerator, not a replacement for legal judgment. It finds the needles in the haystack; your attorneys decide which needles matter. Confidence indicators show you exactly where the AI is certain and where you should dig deeper.

Under an hour for most deployments. Install on your server, create user accounts with role-based access, import your matters and client data, and start working. No consultants. No multi-week implementation project. No training certification. If you can deploy a Docker container, you can deploy Attorney Minds. We've seen firms go from zero to first AI research query in under 45 minutes.

The setup fee covers initial deployment support, data migration assistance, and your firm's first configuration. It's a one-time cost: $499.99 for Small Firm, $799.20 for Medium, $4,799.20 for Enterprise. Compare that to Filevine or Smokeball, which charge $10,000+ in implementation fees and take months. After the setup fee, you're on your monthly or annual plan with no additional charges for users, storage, or support.

Attorney Minds AI is a tool, not a lawyer. It produces research summaries, document analyses, and first drafts - all with confidence indicators and source citations. Your attorneys always review, verify, and make the final call. The AI accelerates the work; it doesn't replace professional judgment. Every output clearly labels its confidence level and links to source material so you know exactly what to verify. Think of it as a very fast, very thorough research assistant who always shows their work.

Every month on per-seat pricing
is money you're not getting back.
