Sound Familiar?

Your day is measured in tenths of an hour, and the first discipline is capturing them, because the work you don't log is work you did for free. Morning might be drafting — a motion to dismiss, a settlement agreement, a discovery response — heads-down in Westlaw and the record, and the trap is finishing a two-hour block and not remembering to put it on the clock. You break to take a client call, which is its own billable event if you remember to note it, and to e-file a response before the court's deadline, because filing dates are hard lines with no grace. A prospective client calls wanting to retain you, and before you can say yes you have to run a conflict check against every party in your open matters. Afternoon is a deposition prep or a court appearance, then back to the desk to log the day before it blurs. Underneath all of it sits the trust account, which the bar requires you to reconcile exactly — client retainer money that isn't yours until it's earned, kept separate, accounted for to the penny. The lawyering is the part you trained for. The business that can sink you is unbilled time, a blown deadline, a missed conflict, and a trust account that doesn't reconcile.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most solo attorney cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a solo attorney actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Westlaw or Lexis for legal research you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "you spend an afternoon deep in a brief and realize you logged none of it, so two billable hours just evaporated from memory" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in ∞ months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a solo attorney who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying every month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
