Our intake team is incentivized on their qualified conversion rate, so manually calculating everything used to take hours. With Lawmatics, what once took days now takes minutes.”

The mission

Viles & Beckman is built on the belief that every client deserves more than just legal representation — they deserve to be treated like family. That commitment drives everything from how the team communicates to how they show up in the community. But as the firm grew, delivering that level of care at scale required more structure. To maintain its five-star experience and meet ambitious growth and impact goals, Viles & Beckman invested in systems that empower their team to deliver consistent, high-touch service rooted in empathy, efficiency, and trust.

Challenges

Limited automation capabilities

Viles & Beckman’s prior CRM required significant manual involvement to operate at scale. “It lacked a lot of automations,” Kayla shared. Key intake workflows like follow-ups, referral tracking, and reporting often had to be handled manually, taking up hours each week. These time-consuming processes made it harder to create efficiency or scale with confidence.

Gaps in reporting and visibility

As the firm grew, the need for deeper data insight became critical. “We were never able to track our qualified conversion rate,” Kayla explained — a key performance metric for the intake team. Marketing attribution and referral tracking were also difficult to manage. “Some of the referrals were tracked, some weren’t,” she said, which made it harder to fully understand the firm’s lead sources and revenue opportunities.

Highly technical in order to customize

While their previous CRM was technically flexible, making changes often took more effort than expected. “It was customizable,” Kayla noted, “but unless you have a degree or experience in coding, it was really hard to do.” Even small updates to forms or workflows could slow momentum. With Lawmatics, those same updates take just minutes, allowing the team to stay agile and responsive to new ideas.

We refer out a lot of leads. Before, some were tracked manually, some weren’t. Now we use automations and forms to follow up regularly on the status of a referral, it’s been a big time saver."

Benefit highlights

Improved team performance visibility

With Lawmatics, Kayla built custom dashboards for each team member to track KPIs in real time. Each person can instantly see exactly where they stand on their performance metrics, without needing to ask or wait for reports. This visibility keeps the team accountable, aligned, and focused on goals that drive firm-wide results.

Enhanced client intake experience

Lawmatics streamlined the intake experience by simplifying appointment scheduling, reminders, and document signing, creating a smoother process for potential clients. The result? A measurable improvement in client satisfaction. Kayla noted their NPS score on the intake front “has gone from 7.5 to right around 9 out of 10.”

Accurate, actionable reporting

Before Lawmatics, tracking qualified conversion rates was a manual, time-consuming process, and it often underestimated the team’s performance. With automated reporting now in place, Kayla discovered that the team maintained a 90 percent or better qualified conversion rate.” The data not only saved time but also gave her and her team a more accurate picture of success.

Easy customization without developers

Making changes to workflows and forms no longer requires coding knowledge. “Yesterday, my team asked, ‘Can we add this field?’ and I did it in five minutes,” Kayla said. What once took days or required technical know-how can now be handled instantly. This agility allows the team to quickly respond to feedback and improve operations.

Time-saving referral tracking system

Viles & Beckman used to track referrals manually, making it difficult to know which leads were followed up on and which weren’t. Some slipped through the cracks. With Lawmatics, the team built a dedicated referral pipeline using forms and automations to manage every case. “Now we use automations to follow up regularly,” Kayla said. The system saves time, captures updates, and protects referral revenue.

Scalable infrastructure for growth

With plans to scale intake by 50% annually, Kayla needed tools that could grow without adding overhead. “Lawmatics gives us the confidence to scale without needing to massively increase headcount,” she said. “If we’re handling hundreds of leads or thousands, the systems and automations are there.” That confidence allows their firm to pursue aggressive growth without sacrificing efficiency or client experience.

Power features

Data reporting

With reliable reporting at their fingertips, the team has eliminated guesswork and gained control over firm-wide performance.

Custom forms

Lawmatics forms have transformed how Viles & Beckman manages client intake. Kayla and her team can quickly adapt forms to support new processes or collect more precise data — all without developer assistance. “The intake forms have really helped us streamline processes,” she said. By customizing forms to match their workflows, the team ensures that every client interaction starts with complete and accurate information, reducing delays, improving handoffs, and supporting the firm’s high-touch intake approach.

Automations

Automations play a key role in helping Viles & Beckman scale without added headcount. “We use automations to follow up regularly,” Kayla said, referring to workflows that track lead status, referral progress, and more. From intake to partner communication, automations eliminate repetitive tasks and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. They’ve helped the team stay focused on high-value work, not chasing status updates or managing manual reminders. “Automations help a ton,” Kayla emphasized.
