Since 2017, The Thomas Law Firm has advocated for Baltimore residents facing personal injury or criminal charges, fighting for those who need it most. Founded by attorney Stephen L. Thomas Jr., the firm is built on a commitment to justice, transparency, and treating every client like family.
Overview
As The Law Office of Stephen L. Thomas Jr. grew, so did the demands of managing more cases without compromising personal client care. Manual processes, scattered tools, and time-consuming billing created late nights, stress, and administrative bottlenecks.
Thomas turned to 8am™, a professional business platform with solutions built to help lawyers simplify operations, fuel growth, and deliver world-class outcomes for their clients and firms. By integrating 8am MyCase for case management and 8am LawPay for secure billing, his firm streamlined workflows, unified communication, and simplified payments in one connected system.
With 8am, Thomas has reclaimed 10–20 hours each week, strengthened client relationships, and modernized his operations while maintaining the personal connection that defines his practice.

Like many solo and small-firm attorneys, Thomas started out juggling disconnected tools—Microsoft Word for documents, PDFs stored separately, and manual invoicing. Case files were scattered, communications weren’t centralized, and billing was tedious.
As part of the 8am professional business platform, MyCase and LawPay work seamlessly to automate intake, manage documents, and simplify billing. Clients can pay by card, secure link, or QR code—all from one secure dashboard.
Automation now handles the busywork, saving Thomas and his team 10–20 hours per week—time that goes directly into trial prep, settlements, and client care.
“The amount of time I’ve gotten back is incredible. That time goes straight into my cases,” says Thomas. “I spend less time on admin tasks and more time connecting with my clients.”
For clients, the difference is just as clear. They can pay from anywhere, review documents on their own schedule, and track case progress in real time through the secure portal.
For The Thomas Law Firm, MyCase and LawPay aren’t just solutions—they’re part of the firm’s commitment to care, transparency, and results. “These solutions give me the time, focus, and peace of mind to fight for my clients with everything I’ve got,” Thomas says.
By simplifying workflows and maintaining transparency, 8am has helped the firm grow without sacrificing the personal touch clients value.
Running a law firm is demanding, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With solutions like MyCase and LawPay, 8am takes care of the busywork—organizing your cases, speeding up billing and invoicing, and making payments simple and secure.
