Codeeo provides legal services app development USA firms can roll out across offices and jurisdictions without rebuilding for each state. We design and build iOS and Android client apps and the firm dashboard behind them: intake that routes by state and practice area, conflict screening, consultations, engagement agreements, documents, matter updates and trust aware payments. The design follows the ABA Model Rules as a baseline, then adjusts screen by screen for the state rules each office actually works under.
Our team of 80+ is based in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and works remotely with US clients. Workshops, design reviews and demos run by video call, with decisions written down for partners in every office to see.

Platform capabilities
Every state regulates its own lawyers. Most have adopted rules based on the ABA Model Rules, but with differences that matter to an app: advertising filing in some states, labeling in others, different trust account programs and different consumer privacy laws. A national firm needs one codebase with rules that change by office and by client location. The ABA's own guidance sets the floor. Model Rule 1.6(c) asks for reasonable efforts against unauthorized disclosure, Formal Opinion 477R addresses securing client communications, and the technology competence comment to Rule 1.1 has been adopted by most states. These are the capabilities we build on top of that floor.
Prospective clients state where they live and where the matter arises before anything else. The app routes them to attorneys licensed in that state, keeping your firm on the right side of Model Rule 5.5 on unauthorized practice, and shows the disclaimers that state requires.
Each enquiry reaches a lawyer who can actually take it.
Party names run against the conflicts database for every office before the client tells their story. Model Rule 1.18 protects prospective clients' information, so limiting what the firm learns before clearance protects the whole firm from disqualification.
Conflicts are caught across offices, not just in one.
Practice descriptions, attorney bios and promotional messages can carry state specific labels, disclaimers and approval steps. Each version is archived with its approver, which helps offices meet filing, pre-approval and retention rules that differ between states.
One content system that adapts to each state bar's rules.
Every state runs an IOLTA program, and Model Rule 1.15 sets the baseline for safekeeping client funds. The app labels each payment as unearned or earned and routes it to the trust or operating account of the correct office, using a legal processor for cards, ACH, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Client funds land in the right account in the right state.
Some states require written fee agreements for certain matters, and contingency fees generally need a signed writing under Model Rule 1.5(c). The app holds a template per state and practice area, fills in the matter details, and captures an electronic signature that is filed with a timestamp.
Each office sends the agreement its own state expects.
Lawyer booking app development USA firms need has to show availability correctly whether the client is in Phoenix or Philadelphia. Attorney calendars sync per office, slots display in the client's local time, and video or office meetings are offered according to each attorney's settings.
No more missed meetings caused by time zone confusion.
California's CCPA as amended by the CPRA, Texas's TDPSA and a growing list of other state laws give residents rights over their data. The dashboard handles access, correction and deletion requests, applies holds where the firm must retain records, and keeps a privacy notice that your counsel controls.
Data requests handled consistently, whatever state the client lives in.
Injury, disability and health law matters often bring in medical records, and firms acting for covered entities may sign HIPAA business associate agreements. Card payments fall under PCI DSS. We isolate these data types, use tokenized payments and apply stricter access controls where they apply.
Sensitive records get controls matched to their risk.
Courts have applied the ADA to digital services in a number of cases, and clients with disabilities need to reach their lawyers. We design to WCAG guidelines, with screen reader labels, sufficient contrast, resizable text and forms that work with assistive technology.
Fewer clients shut out, and less accessibility risk for the firm.
Firm leadership sees enquiries, conversions, response times and collections by office, state and practice group. Office managers see their own numbers, and permissions follow your firm's structure.
Leadership compares offices on the same measures.
Who we work with
A national app is not a single office app copied several times. Rollout order, state rules, payment accounts, client languages and staff training all change from one office to the next, and offices that were acquired often run different software. We plan for that from the start, launching first where the need is clearest and adding offices on a schedule your firm agrees, with each office's differences captured in configuration rather than in separate builds.
Injury and mass tort practices advertise across many states and receive enquiries from all of them. The app sorts each enquiry by state, checks conflicts firm wide, collects medical and incident records, and routes signed cases to the office or co-counsel licensed there. Solicitation and advertising rules for each state are configured centrally. Referral and co-counsel arrangements are recorded on the matter, so fee sharing terms are visible to the right people and nobody has to search email to find them later.
Central configuration stops one office's rules leaking into another's.
Firms with offices in a handful of cities want one brand and one client experience. Law firm app development USA regional firms ask for usually includes shared document rooms, matter updates, e-signature and invoice history, with office specific trust accounts and attorney directories. Each office keeps its own attorney directory and practice area pages, while clients who move or have matters in two cities see everything under one login. Partners in one office can be added to a matter run from another without a new account.
Organizations serving low income clients across a state or region need eligibility screening, multilingual intake, referral routing between partner organizations and reporting for funders. Privacy controls protect clients who may be at risk if their matter becomes known. Text message reminders back up push notifications for clients who share phones or have limited data, and staff can complete intake on a client's behalf during a phone call so nobody is excluded for lack of a smartphone.
Eligibility screening comes before anything else.
In house teams with lawyers in several states field requests from every business unit. An internal app with single sign-on, triage rules, matter tracking and outside counsel management shows the general counsel where demand comes from and where outside spend goes. Matter data can feed the department's existing reporting tools, so budget reviews draw on the same records the legal team works from day to day.
How engagements run
Most firms begin with a fixed scope first release for a pilot office, then extend it under a retainer as more offices join. Firms with a large roadmap sometimes take a dedicated team. Cost depends on the number of states and offices configured, the integrations involved, the languages supported, payment routing across multiple trust accounts and the volume of data migrated from existing portals. We set these out in writing before work starts. We also show which items need review by your ethics or privacy counsel, because that review time affects the schedule as much as development does.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We build native or cross platform apps on encrypted cloud infrastructure, with configuration for each state and office held in the dashboard rather than in code. Integrations use documented APIs, and the firm receives full technical documentation. That way your own team, or another developer, can maintain the app later.

The app has to change its rules depending on the state.
Advertising requirements, trust account programs, recording consent and consumer privacy all vary between states. A single office app can hard code one set of rules; a multistate app needs those rules held as configuration, so a client in Illinois sees different disclaimers and consent prompts from a client in Florida. We build that configuration layer first, which makes adding a new office a settings change rather than a new development project. It also means a firm that opens in a new state can switch the office on without waiting for an app store release.
