Consulting - About Us

In 1996, our founder left the formal practice of law to set up a technology consulting practice to use software to redesign the legal document drafting process. We specialize in the creation of expert drafting systems using HotDocs®, Exari®, XpressDocs, GhostFill ®, DealBuilder®, & AmicusAssembly®. We also build case management solutions and feature packages for TimeMatters®, Amicus Attorney®, AdvologixPM®, Credenza®, and HoudiniESQ®.. Our clients include leading law firms, insurance companies, government procurement departments and large public companies for whom we have advised on and built expert drafting systems. Our founder regularly speaks and writes on technology issues and is a nationally recognized industry expert on document assembly.

Ms. Humphreys has in excess of 25 years experience of accounting management, financial applications software design and implementation. Holly is a Certified Consultant for Timeslips® products, an Certified Independent Consultant for TimeMatters® and  Billing Matters™ and Billing Matters Plus™.  We make excuses for Holly, because she is from Chicago, the South Side ...

In addition to his CIC certification, Marc is also a Microsoft® Certified System Engineer and Cisco Certified System Engineer.  His educational background includes a B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry as well as a minor in Computer Science from the University of Maryland.  Marc has both IT and legal process experience in law firms, having served as a law firm IT director for 12 years, as well as many years of high tech engineering consulting work.

Steve Stockstill aka The Last Best Hope

In August 2007, Steve Stockstill left a eight-year career at Time Matters/LexisNexis to pursue life “outside the box,” transforming Data Equity LLC into a full-time software solutions provider. As software engineer Steve has built a suite of troubleshooting tools for managing the data inside Time Matters and for portals for accessing the data from outside of Time Matters. He is a resource that we use to build custom extensions to Time Matters and to troubleshoot databases that have become unstable.
