FAQ

What does custom legal software cost?

Simple document management starts around $8,000. Complex matter management systems run $15,000-25,000. I quote fixed prices after understanding your exact requirements — no hourly surprises.

How long does it take to build?

Timing depends on the smallest useful outcome and the workflow details that need to be handled safely. We first agree the scope, then provide a clear delivery plan before development starts.

Can it integrate with our existing practice management software?

Yes, I build connections to most legal software — LEAP, BHL, Smokeball, whatever you're using. Your new system works alongside your current setup, not replacing everything.

How does remote development work with a Melbourne practice?

I do requirements calls via video, I build and test everything, then walk you through it remotely. You see exactly how it works before going live.

What about compliance and data security?

I build with Australian data requirements in mind — secure hosting, encrypted data, audit trails. Your client information stays protected and meets professional standards.
