Company: Spodek Law Group
Spodek Law Group handles fast-moving, high-stakes legal matters where timing is critical. With clients across the U.S. and internationally, the firm needed a dependable way to manage case information, communication, onboarding, billing, and payments without creating friction for clients or staff.
The firm chose 8am™ MyCase to centralize CRM, calendaring, billing, retainer agreements, document management, and client communication. By consolidating these workflows in one place, the team can coordinate cases efficiently, onboard clients quickly, and keep attorneys and clients aligned in real time.

Spodek Law Group is a 10-person firm that emphasizes personal service and long-term client relationships. Many clients reach out during moments of crisis, when legal challenges carry life-changing consequences.
Rather than treating cases as purely transactional, the firm prioritizes hands-on support throughout every stage of the legal process. Clients work closely with the team, building trust that often lasts well beyond the resolution of their case.
“We really do try to treat our clients like family,” says Todd Spodek, managing partner of Spodek Law Group. “We build relationships that last years, and we’re there for them through the entire process.”
As the firm expanded and began serving clients across the U.S. and internationally, maintaining organization across cases, communication, and schedules became increasingly important.
Managing litigation across multiple courts, jurisdictions, and clients requires a reliable infrastructure. For Spodek Law Group, MyCase serves as the central system that organizes case information, communication, and scheduling in a central, secure location. “It's all centrally located, so there's never a dispute of information…it's all in one place,” says Todd.
From incoming leads and billing to calendars and retainer agreements, MyCase houses the firm’s core operational data so attorneys and staff can quickly access case details, coordinate schedules, and stay aligned as cases evolve.
“I think that the key to MyCase and our relationship with MyCase and why we have this long-standing relationship is dependability."
That dependability plays a role in the firm’s daily routine as well. Spodek reviews the firm’s schedule each evening to make sure every case and client is accounted for before the next day begins.
“Every single night…I have looked at the calendar on MyCase to see what cases are on tomorrow. And that gives me a great deal of comfort.”
In criminal defense and litigation work, new matters often require immediate attention. Clients expect action quickly, and the firm must be ready to respond without delay.
MyCase helps Spodek Law Group simplify the onboarding process so new clients can move forward immediately.
“The one thing that you do not want is any friction whatsoever,” says Todd. “You want to make that process as seamless as possible.”
When a client decides to retain the firm, intake forms, retainer agreements, and invoices are sent through MyCase. Clients can review and complete everything digitally, so work can begin right away.
For Spodek Law Group, that streamlined process reduces administrative work and speeds up onboarding for new clients. “MyCase has allowed my firm to cut down on so much unnecessary time in onboarding new clients,” says Todd. “From getting the intake, getting the invoice out, and getting paid, we're able to do it in moments.”
Payment speed is especially important when legal work needs to begin immediately. “Clients have expectations, particularly in the law business, that work is going to start immediately, “ says Todd. “We don't have time to wait for a check or necessarily wait for a check to clear. We need payment immediately, and oftentimes it's urgent. So we share an invoice with them, and we're paid moments later.”
As Spodek Law Group continues to expand its reach and serve clients around the world, dependable systems remain key to maintaining the firm’s boutique, high-touch approach.
Centralized reporting through MyCase helps the firm track performance across both marketing and financial operations, giving the team visibility into where new matters originate and supporting informed decisions as the practice grows. “The MyCase reporting function for us works in two ways. From my marketing team's perspective, they're able to see what type of cases are coming in…and see where their leads are coming from,” says Todd.
From a financial standpoint, those same tools help the firm monitor revenue and cash flow across the practice.
Together, those insights help the firm stay organized and responsive as it continues to grow.
With MyCase, Spodek Law Group keeps complex legal matters organized, streamlines client onboarding, and accelerates payments, helping the firm deliver the personal service and responsiveness clients expect.
