The Situation

Where the Revenue Stops

3,109 clients hired · 12 months 1,963 cases filed 63.1% 1,146 never filed 36.9% $2.48M waiting 1,146 × $2,161

Every hired client lands in one of two places: filed, or waiting. 1,146 × $2,161 blended average case value = $2.48M between the hire and the courthouse.

Geller Profit Blueprint03
Diagnosis

Geller is not a broken firm. It is a control problem hiding inside a successful firm.

Money moves through exception paths

Bounces, ACH failures, chargebacks, refunds, old balances, payment plans — no single finance control center.

Onboarding is a relay race

Contract, signature, payment setup, folders, and case file setup are one business event handled as five clerical tasks.

Spreadsheets carry the firm’s memory

23+ manual trackers across 10 owners decide what happens next in billing, filing, client service, and 341 work.

The constraint is not leads or attorneys. It is the space between the hire and the filing.

When one person owns seven operating trackers, that person is a department. All 23 are itemized in the Blueprint’s evidence matrix.

The Plan

The Order of Execution

Aligned with David Minckiewicz (Detroit Software Solutions, Zoho engineer), May 18. Each week ships one working system — no big bang.

Week 1
Document collection
GetDocs live — every department’s #1 pain goes first
Week 2
Contracts + 341 workflow
Signature automation, auto-folders, daily reminders
Weeks 3–4
Intake + scheduling
Conditional intake form, round-robin booking, spreadsheet kill begins
Weeks 5–8
Money + reporting layer
Billing queues, reporting bridge, one texting inbox
Weeks 9–12
Sunset + recovery
Kill redundant software, run the pipeline recovery campaign
Phase 3
Case mgmt + AR billing
Deliberately last — after the team has adapted
Sequence rule: no spreadsheet is retired until its replacement has an owner, required fields, reporting output, and staff acceptance.

Week 1 · Start Here

Document Collection First

  • GetDocs live for BK cases — Ch.7/Ch.13 checklists from your filing requirements, Spanish from day one
  • Auto-compression and conversion on every upload — ends the 341 team’s 2-hour manual file sessions
  • Automated reminders — SMS + email until documents arrive; the daily hand-typed routine ends
  • Array credit integration — $73/case drops to $8–$10/case
  • Missing-document dashboard — replaces three redundant tracking spreadsheets
  • 341@robertgellerlaw.com — court notices reach the department, not an attorney’s inbox
Owner: Iron NoodleWhy first: every department named it pain #1
$120K+/yr
credit report savings, starting day one

Watch Document Collection Work

getdocs — document collection

Twenty-seven seconds, request to ready-to-file — the same platform running document collection for high-volume bankruptcy firms today. Live for your cases in Week 1.

Geller Profit Blueprint08
Week 1 · Both Sides of the Handoff

What Your Client Sees. What Your Team Sees.

Client phone view: one magic link to upload documents

The client: one link, no passwords, phone camera uploads — in English or Spanish. The reminder chase ends.

Team view: processed documents all approved, ready to file

Your team: every file validated, classified, and staged — ready to file without the two-hour review session.

Week 2

Contract Automation + 341 Workflow

  • Zoho Sign replaces Dropbox Sign / HelloSign — three BK contract templates populate from the CRM record in one click; already in your license, no new cost
  • Auto-folder creation on hire — SharePoint folder + case profile created by workflow, not by hand
  • Automated daily 341 reminders — every client with a hearing tomorrow gets a 9 AM message
  • Trustee checklists auto-generated from case data — 200/month stop being hand-built
  • Intake data flows into GetDocs — no copy-paste between systems
Owners: Dave + Iron NoodleDave: “high-priority easy win”
12–21 min
manual onboarding per client today → under 2 minutes
620–1,087 hrs/yr
copy-paste recovered across 3,109 annual hires
Geller Profit Blueprint10
Weeks 3–4

Intake, Scheduling & Spreadsheet Kill — Batch 1

  • Intake form rebuilt — conditional logic by case type replaces the 2019 PDF; Ana approves the UX before rollout
  • Round-robin scheduling — available-slot booking ends calendar cherry-picking
  • Four Eyes killed (both versions) — phone team moves to native CRM tools
  • Valeria’s 10 client-service spreadsheets migrate — her trackers are the build spec; they become queues and dashboards
  • 2nd-course tracking automated — 4 daily tasks become 0
  • AI voice coverage, after-hours + overflow — answer rate target 95%+ (now 79–80%)
Owners: Dave + Iron Noodle + outsourced template labor
~$8K/yr
Four Eyes eliminated
10 sheets
client-service trackers replaced in the first batch
95%+
phone answer target — every missed call is a $2,161 case
Geller Profit Blueprint11
Weeks 5–8

The Money & Reporting Layer

  • Helene’s 7-tab billing doc retires — payment exceptions become owned queues with LawPay sync
  • Retains, cancellations, bounces automated — counted and assigned by the system, not by hand
  • Reporting bridge deployed — one trusted layer pulling phones, CRM, and invoicing together; the data leadership can finally trust
  • Call intelligence — every call scored for urgency; escalation language auto-flagged; no client sits 24–48 hours unseen
  • Texting consolidated — one inbox, one thread per client; Fix Your Funnel and Connect retired
Owners: Dave + Iron Noodle
~$11K/yr
texting software eliminated
Since 2016
Helene’s weekly manual report compilation — ends here
Geller Profit Blueprint12
Weeks 9–12

Software Sunset & Pipeline Recovery

  • Keep + Graphly retired once native dashboards are live (~$16K/yr)
  • Conversion + marketing dashboards — lead → set → show → hire by source, from live pipeline data
  • Assignment rules replace sticky notes — Ana’s single-point-of-failure lookup system becomes automated routing
  • Signing checklists become stage transitions — each step enforced before the next
  • Pipeline recovery campaign — AI voice calls the 1,146 unfiled clients, live-transfers on connect; runs only after the upstream systems work
Owners: Dave + Iron Noodle
$248K
at just 10% pipeline recovery (115 filings)
$495K
at 20% recovery
$35–45K/yr
total subscriptions eliminated

Phase 3 · After Week 12

Case Management & AR Billing — Deliberately Last

Why it waits

It touches attorney workflows, trust accounting, and court filing integrations — the most complex migration in the building.

What must be true first

The CRM layer is stable and the team has lived with the new intake, signature, and document stack for a full quarter.

The 80/20 rule

Phases 1–2 capture 80%+ of the operational savings. Phase 3 completes the architecture — it does not carry the ROI.

Sequencing agreed with Dave, May 18: “those steps involve more complex processes.” No big bang. One working system per week.

Milestones

30 / 60 / 90 Day Goals

Day 0–30: Stop the friction

Document dashboard live · 341 notice routing live · contract flow started · first client-service trackers migrated.

Day 31–60: Kill the risk

Billing exception queue live · retain/bounce tracking automated · filing reports live · first leadership dashboard active.

Day 61–90: Run on rules

Conversion and marketing dashboards live · assignment rules live · pipeline recovery campaign launched.

The first 90 days are not a software project. They are a control project.

The Payoff

How the Bottom Line Changes

$0.0M $0.5M $1.0M $1.5M $2.0M $2.5M $3.0M $1.63M Current NOI +$742K Pipeline +$200K Labor +$120K Credit +$100K Phone +$40K Software $2.84M Projected NOI $3.19M (+$1.57M) $2.48M (+$850K) band

Midpoints of the published ranges, shown for scale. The honest band is $2.48M–$3.19M projected NOI ($850K conservative to $1.57M aggressive recovery). Pipeline and labor are recovered revenue and capacity; credit, phone, and software are cost reductions. No outcome is guaranteed; every lane’s math is sourced in the Blueprint. (The $2.48M band floor is NOI — a different quantity from the $2.48M pipeline figure; the match is rounding coincidence.)

Geller Profit Blueprint17

One working system per week. Ninety days to operating control.

Plan is sequenced. Owners are assigned. Document collection is move one. You pick Week 1. Roberto runs go-live with your team that same week. That’s it.
