The Profile
- Client: Amanda L. PerryEmily C. Marx, PC
- Role: Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS)
- Jurisdiction: California, USA
- Focus: Complex Family Law Litigation & Boutique Firm Management
The Challenge: Managing the “Paper War”
In California family law, “boutique” does not mean “small stakes.” For Emily Marx, cases often involve high-conflict litigation, voluminous discovery, and a constant stream of opposing counsel correspondence. In this environment, the “Chaos Gap”: the time between receiving a document and turning it into a winning courtroom strategy is a significant risk.
Her operational challenges included:
- Significant time spent manually reviewing documents
- Increased risk of overlooking key timeline events or inconsistencies
- Slower case preparation cycles
- Reduced ability to quickly assess case structure and strategy
- Manual chronology construction consumed valuable attorney time that could otherwise be used for legal analysis and case strategy.
The Solution: Implementing NexLaw to Automate Chronology Creation and Case Analysis
Emily integrated NexLaw into her litigation workflow to assist with document review, chronology generation, and case preparation.
By uploading case files into NexLaw, her firm was able to:
- Automatically generate structured chronologies using ChronoVault
- Identify key events, document relationships, and timeline sequences
- Analyze pleadings and legal materials using CasePrep and the NeXa engine
- Review organized case timelines instead of manually reconstructing events
This allowed Emily to focus on legal strategy and case preparation rather than manual document sorting and chronology construction.
NexLaw functioned as a structured case analysis layer within her existing workflow.
The Turning Point: A Partnership Built on Professional Judgment
What sets Emily’s experience apart is the level of trust developed through active use. As a specialist, Emily identifies the nuances where AI needs to be refined—such as distinguishing between general civil authority and specific Family Code statutes. Her collaborative feedback has been instrumental in ensuring NexLaw remains the most defensible tool on the market.
The Verdict: A 5-Year Commitment
The ultimate evidence of NexLaw’s value isn’t just in the daily workflow—it’s in the long-term investment. Emily Marx recently secured her firm’s future by entering into a rare 5-year agreement with NexLaw.
“In complex family law litigation, precision is everything. NexLaw has become central to how we prepare for court—using ChronoVault and CasePrep to turn massive case files into clear trial strategies. I was confident enough to enter into a 5-year agreement because the NeXa engine delivers unmatched accuracy in analyzing pleadings, conducting deep research, and building arguments. It is a game-changer for the modern family law specialist.”
