CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY · CHAPTER 7 & 13

Sixty documents a file. One of them is always missing.

Aretech installs the system that chases them — so your paralegals stop renaming IMG_1794.jpg and your filings stop waiting on a bank statement.

BUILT FOR YOU, OWNED BY YOU. NOT A SUBSCRIPTION.

THE DOCUMENT CHASE

You already know exactly where this goes wrong.

A client emails eight photographs from their phone. They arrive as IMG_1794, IMG_1795, IMG_1802. A paralegal opens each one, works out what it is, renames it, downloads it, re-uploads it to the backup drive, and files it against the matter. Then does it again tomorrow, because two more arrived overnight and one of them is the wrong month.

Nothing about that work requires a legal education. All of it has to happen before you can prep the schedules.

CLIENT PHOTOS → RENAMED BY HAND → RE-UPLOADED → FILED → CHASED AGAIN
FIG. 02 — STALE PAPERWORK

When the fee arrives over five months, the paperwork ages out.

A client on a payment plan takes five months to pay the fee. By the time you're ready to file, the bank statements are stale, the pay stubs are stale, the income and expenses have moved, and sometimes the assets have too. So the intake work gets done twice — once when they signed, once when they finally paid.

The system tracks what's gone stale and asks for the update before it becomes a scramble — so the file is still filable on the day the fee clears.

SIGNED → MONTH 5 → STATEMENTS STALE → RE-REQUESTED IN TIME → FILED
THE INSTALL

Three layers, in order.

L1 · DATA Every document behind a matter — statements, stubs, licences, schedules — named, classified, and filed where your practice already keeps it. Your file conventions, not ours.
L2 · PLAYBOOKS What your firm needs for a Chapter 7 versus a Chapter 13, what triggers a means-test recheck, what makes a file ready for the 341, and which of those calls a paralegal can make without you.
L3 · WORKFLOWS The chase itself: what's missing, who's been asked, what's gone stale, what's ready to prep. Running continuously, not when someone remembers.
Nothing we build ever signs anything, files anything, or decides anything legal.
YOUR STACK, NOT OURS

We build around your systems. You've already chosen them.

Most bankruptcy firms we talk to are running a case manager, a filing tool, a document backup, and at least one thing somebody wired together themselves. That's normal, and it's where we start.

We've worked against Lawmatics, Best Case, SharePoint and network-drive backups, and RingCentral. Where a tool has no open API — Best Case doesn't — we say so during scoping and design around it rather than promising an integration that can't exist.

WORKS ALONGSIDE

We work alongside what the firm already runs. Nothing gets ripped out.

FIT

Worth being direct about.

THIS IS BUILT FOR YOU IF:
You're at capacity, and the constraint is throughput, not new matters
There's one bottleneck you'd name straight away if asked
You want a defined thing built, scoped and priced before it starts
You want to own what gets built
THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF:
You want ongoing labour rather than a build. We build it once and you own it — we're not a monthly service.
You want an open-ended partner to explore with. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before we start.
You're mid-build already and enjoying it. This is for firms who know what they need and have stopped having time to build it.
CLIENT DATA

It stays in your account, because it's your account.

The database sits in your own cloud account, under your own credentials. Client files never leave that environment and are never routed through shared or public models. Encryption at rest and in transit. You own the account, so you own the data — including if you stop working with us.

HOW IT WORKS

Scoped first, then priced.

Every install is priced to its own scope. We don't quote before we've looked.

The scoping engagement is $2,000 and refundable. It produces a technical plan: what gets built, in what order, on which of your systems, and what it costs. That document is yours either way — take it and get two other quotes if you want to, which beats choosing between sales decks.

If you go ahead, the deposit comes off the build. Half up front, half on handover. Fixed price. No seats, no monthly rent, no annual renewal.
