Your AI Paralegal, Researcher & Scheduler — All for $9.99/mo
Run your solo practice like a full-service firm. Alfred handles intake, research, deadlines, drafting, billing, and client updates so you can focus on advocacy.
The Solo Practitioner's Biggest Challenges
Running a solo practice means wearing every hat. Alfred takes the administrative burden off your shoulders.
Crushing Overhead Costs
A full-time paralegal costs $45,000–$65,000/year. Most sole practitioners can't justify the expense, so they do everything themselves.
Research Time Drain
Solo barristers spend 10+ hours per week on legal research alone — time that could be billed to clients or spent on strategy.
Missed Deadlines & Limitation Periods
Without a dedicated clerk, limitation periods and filing deadlines slip through the cracks — the leading cause of LSO complaints.
Client Communication Gaps
Clients call for updates constantly. Without a receptionist, returning calls eats into billable hours and court prep time.
