A case sat stalled for six months. Reassigned to EvenUp’s Pre-Lit as a Service (PLAAS™), it went out the door as a completed demand in 48 hours.

“Even I’m blown away,” said Larry Nussbaum, Partner at Altman Nussbaum Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, the Massachusetts firm behind the case.

PLAAS™ pairs firms with EvenUp case managers who run pre-litigation cases end-to-end, from claim opening through demand, using EvenUp’s AI platform to track client treatment and flag missing records before they stall a file. Case managers work under the firm’s own standards and communicate with clients from a firm email address, with a supervising attorney signing off on major decisions.

That turnaround is now typical. Since handing its pre-litigation caseload to PLAAS™, the firm has stopped hiring pre-lit support staff and taken on 50 additional cases a month without adding headcount.

“EvenUp’s PLAAS™ allows my firm to scale. I can drop as many files as I want on your case managers,” Nussbaum said.

By the numbers:

  • 50 more cases per month, no new hires

  • 67% more capacity per attorney

  • 100% replacement of pre-lit staffing needs

  • Supervising attorneys overseeing 250 cases with PLAAS™, vs. a 150-case cap with in-house paralegals

Before PLAAS™, records retrieval dragged on for months, and treatment gaps went unnoticed until a case was devalued.

Nussbaum was blunt about the profession’s future: “A pre-lit attorney, myself being one, we’re not as valuable as we used to be. It’s just the truth. I can have PLAAS™ do the same thing a pre-lit lawyer can,” he said.

“From a financial standpoint and a quality standpoint, PLAAS™ is a no-brainer to me,” Nussbaum added.
