Leveraging Automation to Improve Client Communication and Satisfaction

About this episode

Regina Edwards discusses her use of automation and client selection strategies to enhance client communication and satisfaction in family law.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Atlanta family law attorney Regina Edwards has been flat-fee for 15 years in one of the toughest practice areas: contested family litigation. In this episode, she breaks down how she uses automation, tight client selection, and a no‑phone policy to protect her time, deliver better results, and actually enjoy practicing law again. You’ll hear how she intentionally stretches out her intake process to filter out “lava and piranha” clients, why she signs most divorces without doing a traditional consult, and how she trains her team to sell the process instead of selling access to her. Regina walks through her tech stack (Lawmatics, Pipefile, Motion.io, Airtable, portals, and more) and shows how she uses guides, portals, and automated updates to keep clients informed while dramatically cutting down on interruptions. If you’ve ever wondered whether flat fees can work in high‑conflict family law, or how to build a practice that supports vacations, boundaries, and deep work, this episode gives you a complete playbook you can start adapting today.
