One flat price for your whole firm.
Every plan includes both halves — getting clients and running the firm. You move up the ladder for more AI power, more autonomy, and a larger team — never to unlock features. No per-seat fees. Your clients’ portal logins are always unlimited and free.
Your clients’ data stays in-boundary — never sent to any outside AI, never retained, and never used to train a model.
The whole platform — get clients and run the firm — with AI that helps where you point it. You stay in the driver’s seat.
Everything in Solo, with sharper AI and more of the routine work prepared for you automatically.
The most capable AI (long documents, patterns across all your matters) and the full automation suite running your routine cadence.
Autonomous mode: the system runs your marketing and intake end-to-end and you simply approve. Anything legal, billing, or client-facing still waits for your sign-off.
Everything, plus dedicated AI capacity, single sign-on, and a contractual service level. The one tier with a human on our side of the table.
14-day free trial · no card to start · cancel anytime · no contracts, no sales calls. Annual billing is 2 months free and includes a free done-for-you migration (how switching works). Local AI is included; the premium Claude brain is free to turn on and billed only for what you use, with a spend cap you set.
Switching is the hard part. We make it the easy part.
The reason firms stay stuck on software they’ve outgrown is the move. So we do it for you — we bring your entire practice over. Your current practice-management software is never touched (we read it, never write to it), nothing is silently dropped — anything that can’t map is flagged for you — and you can roll the whole thing back with one click.
Open and closed matters, contacts, and the full history — mapped into your new system, not retyped.
Files, notes, and attachments come across attached to the right matter.
Calendared dates come over too — then re-verified before any of them count as a real deadline.
Their portal logins keep working through the switch — nobody gets locked out.
Think of it like the gears in a car.
Each tier’s AI is geared to pull its weight — for a solo, a small team, an established firm. In that range it does exactly what it should: it drafts, summarizes, triages your intake, and surfaces what needs you. As the work gets heavier — more matters at once, longer documents, finer judgment calls — you start to push that gear toward its red line. That’s your cue to shift up: the next tier runs a more capable, more accurate AI that takes the longer documents and the patterns across all your matters in stride, without straining.
You never pay for power you aren’t using, and you’re never stuck in the wrong gear — move up or down anytime.
Fast, everyday AI that helps where you point it and preps your routine busywork.
The most capable gear: long documents, and reasoning across every matter in your book at once.
An optional top gear for the heaviest work — free to switch on, metered only for what you point it at, under a no-retention agreement, with a spend cap you set.
Two things never change as you climb: your clients’ data stays private and in-boundary at every tier, and nothing legal, billed, or client-facing happens without your one-click approval.
Answer three questions.
The full platform for a solo practice; move up anytime as you grow.
One signed client pays for the year.
Move the sliders to your own numbers. The platform is a flat $1,788 a year — so the only real question is how many extra signed clients it takes to pay for itself. (Usually: one.)
At these numbers the platform more than pays for itself — the rest is upside.
Illustrative projection based only on the numbers you enter — not a forecast, revenue promise, or guarantee. Actual results depend on your market, practice area, and follow-up. The platform price shown is the current annual rate and may change.
Flat per firm — not per lawyer.
Case-management tools charge per user; a marketing agency is a separate retainer on top. LexSteward is both, for one flat price — and the gap grows with every lawyer you add.

What one subscription replaces
Clio (or MyCase or Smokeball) runs your firm. An agency finds you clients. LexSteward does both — with private AI woven through — for less than either one alone, at one flat price per firm.
Pricing questions
Do I pay per lawyer?
No. It’s one flat price for your whole firm — add lawyers without adding to the bill. Every plan includes a generous band of staff seats, and your clients’ portal logins are always unlimited and free.
What’s the difference between the tiers?
Every tier includes the entire platform — getting clients and running the firm. You move up for more AI power, more autonomy (how much the system does on its own), and a larger firm, not to unlock features that were hidden on a lower plan.
Is anything ever done automatically without me?
Only routine, reversible, internal or marketing work — and only at the higher tiers. Anything legal, client-facing, billing, or a deadline always waits for your one-click approval, on every plan.
What about my clients’ privacy?
Your clients’ data stays in-boundary — never sent to any outside AI, never retained, and never used to train a model. Claude is the only optional exception, used only on the specific work you point it at, under a no-retention contract.
How is the AI billed?
Your local AI is included in the flat price — use it as much as you like. The premium Claude brain is free to turn on and billed only for what you actually send to it, with a live meter and a spend cap you set.
