About LegalCase

Hi, I'm Taylor Thompson, and I hate inefficiency.

Seriously. I'm a trial attorney practicing in Alaska (barred 2017), and I've spent way too many hours of my life organizing client documents at 2 AM, thinking "this is ridiculous."

The Real Story

Here's what nobody tells you about being a trial attorney: you spend an embarrassing amount of time doing work that has nothing to do with practicing law. Renaming hundreds of photos. Building timelines in Excel. Trying to organize text messages that clients send you in seventeen different ways.

All while clients pay premium rates for what's essentially administrative work.

Working with domestic violence survivors made this problem impossible to ignore. These clients have complex, fragmented memories (for very good reasons), and our legal system's one-size-fits-all intake process fails them spectacularly.

What I Built Instead

LegalCase is what happens when a practicing attorney gets fed up enough to actually solve the problem.

Instead of clients paying me $400/hour to organize their documents, they can upload photos, documents, and timeline entries directly as they remember them. The platform organizes everything automatically, creates exhibit lists, and generates case timelines.

Result? Clients save money. I save time. Cases are more comprehensive. Everyone wins.

Why This Matters

Most legal tech is built by people who've never practiced law, solving problems that don't actually exist. LegalCase was built by someone who lives this frustration daily and knows exactly what trial attorneys need.

It's not just about efficiency (though I'll save hours every week). It's about giving clients agency in their own cases and allowing attorneys to focus on actual legal work—strategy, advocacy, and winning cases.

What's Next

I'm a solo founder who believes the legal profession can do better. My husband Cale (a documentary filmmaker) handles our marketing because he knows how to tell compelling stories—which, coincidentally, is exactly what legal cases are.

We're starting with trial attorneys who are as fed up as I am, expanding to advocacy organizations like the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, and eventually revolutionizing how the entire legal profession thinks about case development.

Because honestly? It's about time.
