Case Status

Case Status is a client communication layer for law firms. It sits on top of the case management system a firm already runs rather than replacing it. Clients get a branded mobile app, opened by text message without a password, that shows where their case stands and what happens next, with secure messaging, document scanning and upload, and short videos for each stage. For the firm it gathers what would otherwise arrive by phone, text and email, tracks client satisfaction through a matter, and prompts for Google reviews and referrals when a client scores highly.

The AI features are sold individually: translation of client messages, case summaries, response drafting with urgency ranking, a triage agent, automation agents and sentiment tracking. Drafted replies are shown to staff to review before sending. It integrates with thirteen named case management platforms, including Clio, Litify, MyCase, Filevine, Neos, SmartAdvocate and CASEpeer. Case Status, Inc. is based in South Carolina and says it acts as a data processor for the firms that use it.

Several hundred firms use it, mostly in personal injury, workers compensation, disability, mass tort and immigration practice.

BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a document or workflow system.

AI Centrality

How much of the product is actually AI. Whether the machine learning is the mechanism the buyer is paying for or a feature layered onto conventional software, and whether the vendor is specific about which is which.

The product was a client portal before it was an AI product, and the portal still stands on its own. Real time case status, the branded app without passwords, secure messaging, document upload, stage videos and review prompts triggered by NPS scores are all conventional software. The sync with the case management system is an integration rather than a model. On top of that sits a named set of model features the vendor sells individually: Agentic AI Translation, Agentic AI Case Summary, Agentic AI Response and Prioritization, an AI Triage Agent, AI Automation Agents and Client Sentiment Tracking. The models power a core capability, and the product would still work without them as a communication and status system.

DD on Citation Accuracy and Hallucination DisclosureNothing published on accuracy or grounding for a product that produces legal assertions, or a bare claim that the system does not hallucinate.

Citation Accuracy and Hallucination Disclosure

Whether the vendor publishes measured accuracy on citations and assertions, grounds output to primary sources, and says plainly what its system does when it does not know. Legal has a documented public record of fabricated citations reaching filed briefs, so an untested claim of accuracy is not evidence.

Nothing is published on accuracy or grounding for a system that drafts and translates messages sent to represented clients. No accuracy figure, evaluation, test set or error rate is published, and nothing describes how a drafted reply is grounded in the case record. The exposure is specific. Agentic AI Translation renders a firm's message into another language for a client who cannot check it against the original, and Agentic AI Case Summary condenses a matter for a lay reader.

Accuracy is not even asserted, and grounding is not claimed. The individual AI feature pages were not opened and may say more.

Source: Operator Verified
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside a supervising lawyer, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.

Autonomy and Oversight Model

What the system decides on its own, what a lawyer must approve, and whether the vendor documents where the review point sits. A tool that drafts under review and a tool that files without one are different products and different risks.

A review point is published and the rest of the control structure is not. The home page says Case Status uses case context to suggest responses that staff can review and send in seconds, which puts a person between the model and the client on the drafting path. The Agentic AI Response and Prioritization feature is described as ranking messages by urgency for staff rather than acting on them. Against that, the product also markets AI Automation Agents and claims that up to 80% of routine client communication is handled automatically.

That implies some messages reach clients without review of each one, and nothing published reconciles the two or says which categories run unattended. No threshold, escalation route or statement of what happens after a wrong message is sent is published.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceReal deployment evidence with substance, short of full attribution or measurement: a named customer without figures, or figures without the named customer.

Operational and Outcome Evidence

Named, dated evidence that the product works in production at real firms or legal departments. Case studies with figures and identified customers count. Unattributed testimonials and launch announcements do not.

One named firm with a dated figure, and everything else anonymized. Pond Lehocky is named on the home page with close to 15,000 active clients using the app across its workers compensation and social security disability departments. It gives a before and after review figure with a stated window: 4.6 with 417 reviews before, and 4.8 with more than 3,000 reviews within 24 months. Shawn Lehocky, Chief Executive Officer at Pond Lehocky Giordano, appears on record.

The three growth case studies are unattributed and identified only by practice and city: an SSD firm in Charleston WV that doubled caseload in a year, a PI firm in Chicago at 40% growth year over year, and a large PI firm in Kansas City with a 35% increase in case velocity. The firm count is inconsistent: 600 plus in the page header and more than 500 in the body. G2 ratings, badges and review quotes were set aside as directory material.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on Privilege and Confidentiality PostureConfidentiality is asserted in general terms, or the commitment lives only in a sales conversation and cannot be read in advance.

Privilege and Confidentiality Posture

How client confidences are handled: attorney client privilege and work product treatment, segregation of one client matter from another, whether client data trains any model, and what the vendor commits to in writing rather than in marketing.

Confidentiality is asserted in general terms, and the agreement that would carry it is missing. The security commitment page describes multiple layers of encryption, least privilege development, mandatory two factor authentication, background checks and ongoing security training. The GDPR section states that Case Status acts as a data processor for law firms. But no law firm customer agreement is published; the only agreement on the site is the End User Terms of Use binding the firm's clients.

Nothing addresses training on client content, matter or tenant segregation, or privilege and work product, which matters because the platform carries attorney client communications by its own description. The privacy notice also grants the app access to contacts, microphone, calendar, reminders, SMS messages and continuous location. That is wider than a case status app needs, and nothing published explains why.

Source: Vendor Published
DD on UPL and Professional Responsibility PostureNothing published on the advice line for a product that produces legal work, including where it is sold to people who are not lawyers.

UPL and Professional Responsibility Posture

Whether the vendor is clear that it supplies a tool rather than legal advice, who its audience is, and how it addresses unauthorized practice of law, competence and supervision duties, and jurisdiction limits. ABA Formal Opinion 512 is the reference point. Where the advice line is not the duty a product raises, the axis is read through the nearest professional duty it does raise: judicial conduct rules and the reviewing duty for products sold only to courts, and the duty to bill for time actually spent for products that draft time entries.

Nothing is published on the advice line for a product that generates and translates messages to represented clients. That matters because the reader is a claimant who cannot judge whether what arrives is legal advice. No disclaimer of any kind, no statement that AI drafted or translated content is not legal advice, no requirement that a firm tell its client about AI involvement, and no reference to ABA Formal Opinion 512 or any state bar guidance is published.

Pages checked were the home page, security commitment page, privacy notice, Terms of Use and its Limitation on Liability subpage. The End User Terms do address the reader as a client, and use that space to disclaim liability rather than to explain what the technology does. The individual AI feature pages were not opened and may say more.

Source: Operator Verified
DD on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureNo governance position published for a system whose output affects legal outcomes.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure

Published governance over model behavior: who owns it inside the vendor, what is tested before release, and what is disclosed about disparate output across matter types, parties, or populations.

No governance position is published. Across every page read there is no responsible AI page, no named owner accountable for the AI, no testing regime before release and no ISO 42001 or equivalent. The security commitment page names a Chief Technology Officer, Charles Lane, and the privacy notice names a Data Protection Officer, Andy Seavers, but both roles are framed around information security and privacy rather than model governance.

Nothing addresses whether sentiment scoring, urgency ranking or translation quality behaves evenly across languages or client groups. That is the live question for a product whose clients include immigration and workers compensation claimants writing in languages the firm may not read.

Source: Operator Verified
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipA generic privacy policy covers the product without addressing what happens to documents and prompts after processing.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship

Retention, deletion, access control, and what happens to prompts and documents after they are processed. Whether the vendor states its subprocessors and its incident practice, or leaves the buyer to assume.

A generic privacy notice and a narrative security page, with the operative details missing or blank. What is published: multiple layers of encryption, least privilege, mandatory two factor authentication, password and lockout policies, employee background checks, ongoing security training, AWS hosting, and continuous compliance monitoring through Secureframe. What is not: any subprocessor list, any incident or breach notification practice, or any retention period.

The retention gap is specific. Under the heading on how long information is kept, the privacy notice of 17 July 2025 says no purpose in the notice will require keeping personal information for longer than, and the sentence simply ends. The number is missing from the published document. Deletion is promised once no legitimate business need remains, with an exception for backup archives.

Source: Vendor Published
CC on AI Liability and RecourseLiability is addressed only through a standard limitation clause that disclaims the exposure the product creates.

AI Liability and Recourse

What the vendor stands behind contractually when its output is wrong. Indemnities, caps, carve outs, insurance, and whether any of it is published or only reachable through a negotiated agreement.

A published allocation that is total, uncapped, and pointed at the wrong party. The Limitation on Liability subpage excludes liability for damages of any kind under any legal theory arising from use or inability to use the service, direct or indirect, whether in negligence or contract and even if foreseeable. It expressly names personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of data and loss of goodwill among the excluded categories.

There is no cap, because there is no fee: these are End User Terms binding the law firm's client, not the firm. The excluded heads of damage include personal injury, pain and suffering and emotional distress, in a product sold into personal injury, workers compensation, disability and mass tort practice. No agreement with the firm, indemnity, warranty on output or insurance position is published. A specific and readable allocation exists, and nothing in it runs toward either the firm or its client.

BB on Practice Systems Integration DepthReal integrations exist and are documented, short of depth: named connections without a description of what they actually move.

Practice Systems Integration Depth

How deeply the product reaches into the systems legal work already lives in: document management such as iManage and NetDocuments, Word and Outlook, contract lifecycle management, matter management, e-billing, and court filing systems.

The integration set is named in full. Thirteen case management platforms are listed with individual integration pages: Clio, Litify, MyCase, Neos by Assembly, Filevine, CASEpeer, SmartAdvocate, SmokeBall, PracticePanther, CoCounselor, Meruscase, Docketwise and Salesforce. That places the product inside the plaintiff and small firm stack rather than beside it. Case Status describes itself as the communication layer living inside the case management platform, with staff working where they always have and everything syncing automatically.

One published customer account describes it running inside Litify in a frame. What syncs, in which direction, and what a firm must configure is not described on any page read. The individual integration pages were not opened and may say more.

CC on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyCloud delivery is implied and neither the tenancy model nor the region is stated.

Deployment Model and Data Residency

Where the software runs and where the data sits. Multi tenant cloud, single tenant, private deployment, on premises, and whether region of residence is a published option or an enterprise conversation.

Cloud delivery is named, and neither the tenancy model nor a region choice is stated. The security commitment page says Case Status runs on Amazon Web Services and explains the choice as scale and redundancy, not as a tenancy design. The privacy notice says servers are in the United States and that information from users outside the US will be transferred to and processed there. That fixes a default location but is not a residency offering.

No tenancy model is published, no region option is offered, and processing location is not separated from storage. The product's stated practice areas include immigration, so its users include clients outside the United States, which makes the lack of any region choice worth noting.

Source: Vendor Published
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterCertification is real and stated, short of accessible evidence: a named standard without scope, date, or a way to obtain the report.

Security Certifications and Trust Center

Independent attestation a buyer can pull without a sales call: SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration test summaries, a trust center with current reports and named scope rather than a badge image.

Detailed attestation particulars are published, with no way to obtain the report. The security commitment page names the auditor, Modern Assurance, as an independent third party accounting and auditing firm. It states the scope as all five trust services criteria by name (security, confidentiality, availability, privacy and processing integrity) and gives completion dates: SOC 2 Type I in September 2023 and SOC 2 Type II in July 2024.

HIPAA compliance is claimed on the basis that legal practices serve clients who are also patients, and Secureframe is named for continuous monitoring. Two gaps remain. There is no trust center or portal and no stated route for a buyer to request a report, so the evidence is described rather than accessible. And the most recent attestation stated is now over two years old, with ongoing audits expressed as an intention rather than a published later report.

Source: Vendor Published
DD on Model Supply Chain DisclosureNothing published about the model supply chain a customer inherits.

Model Supply Chain Disclosure

Which models sit underneath, whose they are, where they run, and whether the vendor commits to telling customers when that changes. A legal buyer inherits every dependency it cannot see.

Nothing is published about the model supply chain a customer inherits. The product markets six separately named AI capabilities and a whole Data and Agentic AI solution page. Yet no model, model provider, inference location or commitment to notify changes appears on any page read. There is no subprocessor list of any kind on the site, which is the usual place for this disclosure. AWS is named on the security commitment page, but hosting says where the software runs, not whose model reads client messages. No reference to an underlying model layer is published at all.

Source: Operator Verified
DD on Commercial TransparencyNo pricing information published at any level, including the unit of charge.

Commercial Transparency

Whether a buyer can learn what this costs without entering a sales process: published rates, the unit being charged, what sits behind an enterprise tier, and what implementation adds.

No pricing information at any level. There is no pricing page. The navigation, footer and resource menus were checked across the home page, the security commitment page, the terms index, the Limitation on Liability subpage and the privacy notice, and none carries a pricing entry. No tier names, packaging structure, unit of charge or figure is published, and every commercial route is a demo booking, a tour or a calendar link. Neither the shape of the pricing nor a number is visible.

Source: Operator Verified
BB on Firm and Practice CoverageSegment and practice coverage is described with substance, short of the boundaries: what is supported is clear, what is not is left open.

Firm and Practice Coverage

Who the product is actually built for. AmLaw, midlaw, small firm and solo, in house departments, government and courts, and which practice areas are supported rather than merely claimed.

Practice coverage is specific and firm segmentation is not. Eight practice areas each have their own page describing the work: personal injury, workers compensation, immigration, employment, disability, mass tort, estate planning and criminal. That is a real statement of where the product is aimed, and it hangs together: all eight are high volume matters where a client waits a long time with little news. What is missing is any segmentation by firm size, any in house or government position, and any statement of where the product stops. The customer evidence points to plaintiff and claimant firms of varying size, but the vendor never says so directly.

Sep 25, 2026Integration / interoperabilityPartially Verified

Case Status published a live Confido integration that lets a case manager start a settlement disbursement from inside Case Status, with the client receiving the funds digitally in the firm's branded Case Status app instead of by paper check. The client enters bank details directly with Confido, and the page states this release covers settlement disbursements only, not client to firm payments.

Legal Signals

What each signal means

A signal records what public sources say on the date shown. It is not a grade and it is not a recommendation. Where a signal reads Not addressed, it means the index did not locate the material in public sources on that date, which is a statement about disclosure rather than about the product.

Client Data in Training

Can material a lawyer puts into this product be used to train a model?

Terms silent

A published agreement or policy exists and none of it addresses the question either way, or the document that would answer it could not be read and the summary names the retrieval limit. The summary states which shape the silence takes: an improvement right granted that never names training, or no improvement right granted at all.

No located term or policy says whether client content is used to train models. The privacy notice of 17 July 2025 was read in full and does not mention artificial intelligence, models or training. The home page, the Data and Agentic AI solution listing, the security commitment page, the Terms of Use and its Limitation on Liability subpage were also checked on 1 September 2026. No law firm customer agreement is published.

The Terms of Use are split across about two dozen subpages; a Contribution License subpage exists and could not be retrieved, so it may say more.

Prompt and Output Retention

How long does the product keep what a lawyer typed, and can that be set to zero?

Disclosed without a period

Retention is acknowledged in public materials with no stated period.

Retention is acknowledged and the period is missing from the published document. The privacy notice of 17 July 2025 commits to keeping personal information only as long as necessary for the stated purposes unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, and then states that no purpose in the notice will require keeping it for longer than, with the sentence ending there and no figure supplied. Deletion or anonymization is committed to once no legitimate business need remains, with information in backup archives isolated from further processing until deletion is possible. Nothing separately addresses retention of client messages, AI-drafted replies or translations.

Not addressed

No located public material addresses walls or matter level segregation.

No located public material addresses ethical walls, matter-level segregation or tenant separation. The security commitment page describes least-privilege development practice, two-factor authentication and employee access discipline, which are internal controls on Case Status staff rather than a segregation model between a firm's matters or between firms on the platform. One published customer account describes co-counsel and branding features, implying some access partitioning, but no document describes how any boundary is defined or enforced.

Third Party Request and Subpoena Notice

If someone subpoenas the vendor for a firm’s data, does the firm hear about it first?

Disclosure addressed, notice absent

Published terms or policy address disclosure to authorities or in response to legal process, and no commitment or reservation regarding customer notice is located anywhere. The vendor has told the customer that data can leave and has said nothing about whether the customer hears of it.

The privacy notice addresses compelled disclosure under a Legal Obligations heading covering applicable law, governmental requests, judicial proceedings, court orders, subpoenas and national security or law enforcement requirements. A separate Vital Interests limb reaches further, permitting disclosure where Case Status believes it necessary to investigate suspected policy violations or fraud, to address safety threats, or to use the information as evidence in litigation it is itself involved in.

No commitment to notify the customer or the client, and no carve-out for notice where lawfully permitted, was located on 1 September 2026, and no transparency report is published.

Primary Law Corpus Provenance

Where does the law in this product come from, and does the vendor have the right to use it?

Not addressed

No located public material identifies the corpus behind the product’s answers.

The product does not retrieve primary law, so there is no legal corpus to source. Case Status draws on the firm's own case record synced from its case management system, plus the message history between firm and client, to generate summaries, translations, urgency rankings and suggested replies. No public material identifies any statutory or case law source, license basis or update cadence, checked across the home page, solution and security pages, privacy notice and Terms of Use on 1 September 2026.

ABA Formal Opinion 512 is not named and no state bar opinion appears on the home page, security commitment page, privacy notice, Terms of Use or Limitation on Liability subpage, checked 1 September 2026.

Billing and Fee Posture

Does the vendor address what happens to the bill when the work takes an hour instead of six?

Savings claims only

Public materials claim time savings without addressing billing or disclosure, and the product sits inside a fee relationship between a lawyer and a client where those savings would change the bill.

Public materials claim time and capacity savings without addressing how AI assisted work should be recorded or disclosed on a bill. The vendor says up to 80% of routine client communication is handled automatically, and that firms doubled caseload or grew 40% year over year without matching staff increases. No audit record of which client messages were AI drafted or AI translated is described. The question matters less for the contingency fee practices the product mainly serves, where the fee does not turn on hours.

It does not disappear, since the same firms bill costs and handle fee petitions in workers compensation and disability matters. Checked 1 September 2026.
