When Freeburg & Granieri, APC was founded in 2021 by Christy Granieri and Gregory Freeburg, the partners made a strategic decision to build a modern, streamlined law firm. Rather than relying on traditional administrative staff, they focused on integrating technology that would enable them to operate efficiently while delivering high-quality legal services in employment law, personal injury, and litigation.
For a firm often advising clients as an employment contract lawyer, staying organized and efficient was not optional—it was essential. Managing California Judicial Council forms proved to be one of the most cumbersome aspects of their workflow. Recognizing the need for a smarter solution, the firm adopted Clio Draft shortly after seeing a live demonstration. What started as a tool for form preparation quickly became a key part of their daily operations.
Although Judicial Council forms are freely available online, they are not designed with ease-of-use in mind. Finding the correct version, manually entering information, and navigating varying e-filing rules across California jurisdictions created unnecessary complications. Errors and omissions often resulted in rejected filings, which meant lost time and unbillable hours.
For a firm that regularly handles wage-related claims governed by wage and hours law, ensuring accuracy and timely filing is critical. Clio Draft addressed these operational pain points by:
By leveraging this tool, Freeburg & Granieri, APC has significantly reduced the administrative burden of form preparation, saving an estimated four to five hours of attorney time each week—time that can now be focused on client matters.
Beyond Clio Draft, the firm also uses Clio Manage and Clio Grow, creating a unified system for managing intake, billing, documents, and ongoing casework. This tech-forward approach supports the firm’s goal of remaining agile and responsive, key traits when advocating as an equal pay lawyer or pursuing high-stakes litigation on behalf of employees and individuals.
With this setup, Freeburg & Granieri, APC can:
This integration supports the firm’s commitment to responsiveness and precision, allowing attorneys to stay focused on client service rather than backend processes.
For a firm operating without traditional support staff, the ability to automate time-consuming tasks is essential. Clio Draft has not only improved the firm’s document management processes but has also elevated the quality and consistency of its services. By embracing legal technology from the outset, Freeburg & Granieri, APC has built a practice that is both agile and client-centered.
The firm’s reliance on integrated systems reflects a broader commitment to modernizing legal service delivery without compromising on attention to detail or professionalism.
