Build Client Trust, Automate Case Updates & Never Miss a HearingโAll on WhatsApp
Handle 30+ "what's the status?" calls daily without losing focus. Professional case updates, automated hearing reminders, and systematic client communication.
Missed Client Inquiries During Court — Potential clients call while you're in hearings. By the time you call back 3 hours later, they've already engaged another advocate.
Clients Arrive Without Documents — First consultation scheduled, but client forgets property papers. Vakalatnama signing delayed, case filing delayed, court dates pushed.
Clients Forget Hearing Dates — You're at court waiting, client isn't there. Called 3 times - "Sorry sir, I forgot." Case adjourned for 3 weeks. Professional embarrassment.
"What Happened in Court?" All Day — After hearings, your phone explodes. 15 clients calling for updates. Junior staff busy explaining the same "case adjourned" to everyone.
Awkward Fee Conversations — Stage payment due but client isn't replying. You don't want to chase for money - you're a lawyer, not a bill collector. Outstanding fees pile up.
License & Agreement Renewals Missed — Corporate clients' trademarks expire, agreements lapse, compliance deadlines missed. You're their lawyer but have no system to track and remind them proactively.

CAMPAIGN: Company Annual Filings
TARGET: Contacts tagged "company-director"
