From first contact to attorney review

Case-type intake pipeline

Start with a short lead form. Continue with the questions, documents, and review steps this case type requires.

    Intake Workflow
    Document upload

OBE follows up with the claimant, processes each upload, and organizes the facts, source locations, conflicts, and missing information before the file reaches a reviewer.

Your team starts with structured case data and a review-ready legal issue map.

A form is not a finished intake

Intake should prepare the file, not pass the mess downstream.

Most systems stop after collecting answers and uploads. Staff still chase missing documents, identify every file, pull out the material facts, resolve conflicting answers, and work out who needs to act next. More leads simply create more unfinished work.
Bennett Legal's annual comparison was $44,000 for Filevine, $21,000 for Moxo, and $22,000 for data extraction pipelines, totaling $87,000. Staff and lawyer time were separate, and the firm still had to reconstruct accepted files. Read the Bennett Legal case study.

Route the matter

Give each lead the right next step.

OBE organizes the intake around the acceptance criteria your firm set for the case type. Matters that meet those criteria move to review, incomplete matters continue through follow-up, and matters outside the criteria can be declined or referred. Lawyers make the final call.

Know who owns the next step

Every matter moves to a named person with a clear task.

Each intake phase has an assignee, required actions, and a review gate. New work arrives in that person's inbox with the case file and the exact task needed to move the matter forward.
01 · Intake manager

Complete the intake.

Follow up on missing answers, pages, and documents with the claimant.

02 · Intake reviewer

Check the file.

Review the structured facts, source documents, conflicts, and open questions.

03 · Attorney

Make the decision.

Accept, decline, or send the matter back with a specific request.

Responsibility stays visible from first contact through engagement, so a lead does not stall between people or systems.
Capture first. Deepen second.

Do not lose a good lead to a form that asks too much, too soon.

Start with contact details and a few threshold questions. Once the lead is captured, OBE sends the detailed intake, requests the right documents, and keeps the follow-up moving without forcing every person through a long form at first contact.
