An attorney and her client smile across a glass table after he signs his retainer on a tablet, while her laptop shows the Lead Docket list ready to post to Filevine.

Post to Filevine: From Signed Lead to Filevine Project

When a client signs, Lead Docket can hand the case to Filevine with one click. The intake team does not retype anything, and the case team starts with the full story of how the client came in. Here it is in twenty seconds, in our own demo account.

What a complete handoff looks like

  • The new Filevine project opens with the client’s contact details and the right project type.
  • The intake summary and the answers to the firm’s intake questions travel with the case.
  • The right people are on the project team from the first minute.
  • Documents collected at intake follow the case.
  • Lead Docket keeps a link to the new project, so either team can jump between the two.

Where it goes wrong

Most firms find out about the gaps only after the first few cases arrive:

  • answers that never reach a Filevine field because the mapping points to a section the project type does not have
  • cases landing in the wrong project type, or with nobody assigned
  • duplicate contacts created because intake did not check Filevine first
  • leads that need to be sent again after a fix, and nobody sure how

None of this is hard once the two systems are designed together, but each one costs the case team time on every new matter until it is fixed.
