“I’m glad we began partnering with SCRA early on. They’ve been supportive of our mission to radically transform the way law firms engage with their clients,” said Case Status CEO and Co-Founder Andy Seavers. “We can continue to scale and grow our staff with the funding they are providing.”
“Case Status recognized how cumbersome it was for attorneys to keep their clients up to date on their cases and created a solution. We support innovation that provides a better customer experience, so this is squarely within our mission,” said SC Launch Inc. Executive Director Matt Bell.
