The firm didn't just stop with digitization. They were early adopters of FilevineAI — and their foresight paid off.
FilevineAI now powers a wide range of tasks, saving the firm 81% of the time on some of the most tedious and complex work: medical record reviews, coding, demand letter creation, and deposition analysis.
One of the most mind-numbing things to do is read 5,000 pages of medical records to pull out 3 or 4 codes. Now AI does that.
The impact has been profound. Instead of burnout, the team thrives. Instead of turning away cases, they now embrace more, without sacrificing quality or work-life balance.
We haven't turned down a case because we are at capacity. And now, instead of working every night until 8pm, I get to go home at 7 or 6:30. That's a huge deal.
Crucially, AI allows the firm to grow without ballooning overhead.
“FilevineAI gives you flexibility to try to bring in more cases without burning out your staff. Of course, there are overhead expenses, but they pale in comparison with hiring people.”
From paralegals to attorneys, FilevineAI’s capabilities are used at every level. The firm's staff can "chat with the case" to receive instant answers about the case. “I love FilevineAI because it's beneficial on so many levels, for different tasks, departments, and roles within your workflow."
D’Andrea calls Filevine's Depo CoPilot his favorite product, allowing him to stay focused on the deponent instead of taking notes. He insists on his team using the tool for almost every deposition.
If I’m not taking the depositions, I want summaries. Even in a smaller case with 8-10 depositions, that would take days or weeks. Now I can have it by lunchtime.
Depo CoPilot not only supports live deposition strategy, but it enhances oversight, collaboration, and training. "Now we can build out goals and outlines together. I can go over transcripts afterward as a learning mechanism, and it helps us prepare for the next deposition."
Demand letters — especially in medically complex cases — used to take weeks. Now, thanks to Filevine, they're drafted in two days or less, drawing from vast data sets like physician testimony, education, and work records.
“We're able to pump out more demand letters, without compromising quality. It's resolving cases faster, helping both the firm and our clients.”
For D’Andrea and his team, FilevineAI isn't just a tool — it's a cornerstone of their growth strategy, culture of excellence, and commitment to justice.
Do you want to grow as a firm? Then FilevineAI is a no-brainer. If you're going to get a new case management system, but it's not going to have good AI, why bother? Just go back to binders and folders.
D’Andrea lectures nationwide on legal AI and encourages firms to start now. He emphasizes ethical usage, human oversight, and tailoring AI tools to the needs of each firm's practice areas.
This is not a 'wait and see' technology. If you're not using AI, you're already behind.
With FilevineAI, the firm is not just doing more work — they’re doing work that is better for their clients, their attorneys, and their bottom line.
