Most legal AI answers questions. Ward does the work.
Your chief of staff reads the file, drafts the response, and keeps every date in view — grounded in your own files, confidential by contract, and never guessed. You approve every move.
Built by a practicing NY attorney, whose firm already runs its tools at levigrosswaldlaw.com.
Draft the response to the carrier’s denial on Okafor.
Here’s a draft response to the C-7 denial. It contests the causal-relationship ground with the treating physician’s findings and requests a hearing.

Three things a case tool bolted to a chatbot can’t fake.
Most legal AI is a search box waiting for a prompt. Ward is built into the operating system that runs your firm — so it can do the work, keep it confidential, and stay grounded in your own files.
It opens your day, ranked — before you ask.
A chatbot waits for a prompt. Ward reads your matters overnight and hands you one brief: the deadline that’s close, the draft that’s ready, the lead that responds best now — ordered so nothing slips between hearings. You start from a plan, not a blank box.
Never trained on. Never retained.
Your clients’ data is processed under a signed agreement in a confidential, zero-data-retention environment — never used to train a model, never kept afterward, isolated to your firm, and every AI action logged. Not a policy you take on faith: the terms are written down, and you can read them.

One system that compounds.
The things a firm does aren’t five separate products. They’re one loop — and each turn feeds the next. A signed client becomes a run matter; a well-run matter becomes a paid invoice and a happy client; a happy client becomes the referral that gets you found again.
- 01
Get found
Your site, tuned for Google and AI search, brings in high-intent clients.
replaces the marketing agency
- 02
Win the client
Ward drafts the intake reply — conflict-checked, ready to send — while the lead is hot.
replaces a separate intake tool
- 03
Run the matter
Deadlines surfaced, documents drafted, every matter and note in one file.
replaces the practice-management tool
- 04
Get paid
Turn the work you logged into invoices and keep every matter’s balance current.
replaces the billing add-on
- 05
Delight
Clients follow progress and get plain-English updates in their portal — then refer the next one.
replaces the client-portal upsell
the referral feeds the top of the loop — it spins faster the longer you run it
One subscription replaces that whole stack — you only pay per attorney.
Run your practice — whichever side you’re on.
LexSteward is one operating system, configured for the way your firm works. Pick your door.
Run a plaintiff practice
Get-found calculators and consumer intake pull in high-intent clients, then the operating system runs every case. On contingency or flat fee, you keep the gain.
Explore →Run a defense practice
The same system of record runs the defense docket — matters, deadlines, documents, billing, and a client portal. The thing a plaintiff-only tool structurally can’t do.
Explore →Run a fractional or in-house practice
Manage outside counsel, triage the business’s legal work, and control legal spend — the engines configured for an internal legal function, not client billing.
Explore →The operating system — matters, billing, docketing, compliance, and the client portal — runs all three today. The consumer acquisition tools are live for plaintiff work; the defense and in-house acquisition tools are in design. Larger firms and corporate legal departments have an Enterprise track →
A different cost structure — not a discount.
LexSteward isn’t a cut-rate version of the usual stack. It’s cheaper because it’s built differently: the AI is included instead of resold per seat, one product does the work of four, and there’s no sales machine to fund.
AI included, not resold per seat
Everyday AI is in the price and covers your whole team — there’s no per-seat AI upcharge. Only heavy frontier work is metered, with a spend cap you set. (A self-hosted model that would make even heavy use free is on the roadmap.)
One price replaces a stack
The usual firm stack is four separate subscriptions and four bills. LexSteward is one — so you’re not paying four vendors to do one job.
Self-serve by design
No sales team, no implementation fee, no onboarding consultant to pay for. You set it up and run it yourself — and that low overhead is why the price stays low.
- Practice-management tool
- Payments / billing add-on
- Marketing agency retainer
- A per-seat AI add-on
- Everything above, in one system
- AI included in the price
- Only pay for attorneys — staff seats free
- No sales calls, no setup fee
You only pay for attorneys: Practice management is $149/lawyer/mo (billed annually; $179 month-to-month), and Marketing is a flat $99/mo — staff seats and matters are free. A side-by-side comparison with named tools and their published prices is on the pricing page.
How every estimate is built.
The calculators don’t invent a number to impress a visitor. They walk the same statutory steps an attorney would — and until a jurisdiction’s figures are attorney-verified, they show a pending state instead of guessing.
Every figure is computed from published rates and the governing statute, attorney-verified before launch and cited to its source. When something isn’t verified yet, the tool abstains and shows a pending state rather than guess. We never fabricate a figure or a citation.
AI runs under contract in a confidential, zero-data-retention environment: your clients’ data is never retained by the provider and never used to train a model. Every AI action is logged, every firm is isolated to its own data, and nothing acts without your approval.
The calculator runs entirely in the visitor’s browser. It relays only a contact request, never the claimant’s numbers.
Every tool, page, and disclaimer lands in your dashboard for one-click attorney review before it goes live.
Export everything you put in, anytime, across every module — no lock-in, no export fee. Automated backup and point-in-time recovery are on the roadmap and not running yet.
The New Jersey schedule this example draws from is pending attorney verification, so no dollar figures are shown yet. The same engine computes the steps line by line once the figures are signed off. Informational only; not legal advice.

“I’m a plaintiffs’ attorney, not a marketer, and not an IT department. I was running an agency for marketing, one tool for cases, another for billing, a portal I didn’t really have, and a pile of logins in between. So I built the system I wish I’d had: one place that finds clients, runs the case, sends the bills, and keeps clients updated, automatically, for one price.”
You only pay for your attorneys.
Practice management is billed per lawyer — every paralegal, clerk, and staff seat is free, and every matter and client login is included. Marketing is a flat price per firm. Clio and MyCase charge for every user; you pay per attorney only.
Practice management includes the full system of record, the private client portal, and AI — you only pay per attorney, with staff seats and matters free. Marketing is a flat price per firm.
Both halves together — the site built and run for you and the AI drafting, you approve everything. Practice management for every lawyer, plus your site built & hosted.
Your whole practice, working for you.
Find your next clients, run every case, send the bills, and keep your clients updated, all from one private system.
