Practice software · Washington criminal defense
New charges filed on JIS. A hearing continued in Edmonds. A CrR 3.3 clock you didn't start. Lawwa watches the Washington courts for your clients and puts what matters in front of you — before the morning it matters.
Free to start. Single tools are $30 a month — buy one, not a system. No demos to book, no call for pricing.
See it in action
A narrated tour of a working caseload: the Today screen, a DUI case and its trackers, a Notice of Appearance that fills itself, new charges from JIS, a cited sentencing range, and coverage when two hearings collide. Every name in it is invented.
Captions are on the video. Signed-in users will find short lessons on every tool under Training Videos in the app.
What you get
Every one of these exists because a Washington defense attorney asked for it — then tested it on real cases until it held up. Buy one on its own for $30 a month, or take all of them in Everything.
Buy individually · $30/month each
Your client list, watched against JIS by name and date of birth. New criminal filings surface with the cause number and the next hearing date — statewide, weekly or fortnightly, or on demand when you can't wait.
Police reports redacted for production under CrR 4.7. Dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, ID and account numbers found automatically — plus your own name and term list — with OCR for scanned pages. Runs in your browser; the file never leaves your machine.
Body-cam and jail-call audio, transcribed and silenced in the browser. Names are found for you on the waveform; you drag to catch the rest. Included in the Redactor plan — same monthly allowance.
Felony standard ranges with the offender score built up in front of you, gross-misdemeanor priors included. It's a beta — check every figure against the 2025 Adult Sentencing Manual. Standard range only: it doesn't model exceptional sentences, mandatory minimums or same-criminal-conduct. Range lookup is free; client memos are the paid part.
Double-booked? Post the appearance and find a colleague to stand in — accept, decline, confirm and settle up in one thread. The original DubbleBooked tool, still doing its job. Browsing the board is free.
Free with any account
The shared directory of Washington courts and prosecutors' offices — one tap to call. Anyone can suggest a correction; a steward from the bar approves it, and every change is logged.
Find defense counsel by name, county or practice area — members and WSBA registrants both — when you need to refer a case out or hand one off.
Office space, a departing practice, a paralegal looking for work. The listserv posts that scroll away, kept somewhere you can find them.
The practice spine · included in Everything
Clients, cases and the deadlines hanging off them. This is the newest half of Lawwa and it's in beta with a small group of Washington attorneys — it comes with Everything, and we turn it on by hand so nobody is left alone with it.
The home screen: what needs you this week, and your caseload by phase — intake, unfiled, filed, archived.
One client record, typed once. Intake links you can text a prospect, spreadsheet import for the book you already have, and a conflict check you run on a matter — name matches surfaced for your review, never a determination made for you.
The four things that fall through the cracks: evaluations ordered and scheduled, treatment started and finished, public-records requests with a due date, and vacate eligibility. Anything overdue is flagged and lands on Today — and in your inbox the morning it matters.
Your week ahead, emailed Thursday morning: hearings pulled from Washington court calendars against your bar number, plus what you've entered yourself. Opt-in — and there's a "send me one now" button, so you can read it before you commit to it.
Your own Word templates, with ##token## where the client's name goes. Lawwa fills them from the case — including a caption set the way that court sets it. Bring your forms; you don't have to adopt ours.
One case, one thread
Lawwa follows the shape of a real defense practice — the same four phases your office already lives in.
What it costs
Most attorneys should start with the one thing that's costing them time this month and never buy anything else. That's a fine outcome. The bundle is there when a second tool would pay for itself.
$0 forever
No card. Useful on its own.
$30 /month
Pick one. Add another whenever — or never.
$99 /month
Every tool, plus the practice spine. No contract.
Charges Checker runs on JIS-Link checks, billed as you use them. The subscription covers the tool; the checks against the state's system are metered on top, and you can see the count before you run a sweep.
We set plans up by hand right now. Self-serve checkout for individual tools is still being built, so today you email us and we turn the tool on for your account. Not a sales call — a reply.
The practice spine is in beta. Clients, Cases, Trackers and Document merge are switched on for a small group of attorneys at a time. If you buy Everything before your turn, say so and we'll tell you honestly where the queue is.
No founding-member program. Two Washington defense attorneys have been designing this with us and running it on live cases since before it had a name — that's the whole story. There is no founders' tier, no discount code, no waitlist you can pay to skip. If we ever run one, the WACDL list will hear it before this page does.
Law, WA.
The national practice-management vendors treat Washington like a dropdown option. We treat it like the whole product.
JIS, Odyssey, SCOMIS, Seattle Municipal's C-Track, King County District's calendars — we speak all of them, because your cases live across all of them.
CrR 3.3 speedy-trial math, CrR 4.7 redaction, local captions that differ court to court. Washington-specific isn't a feature here; it's the foundation.
Feature requests come from the WACDL AI committee and the attorneys using it between hearings — not a product roadmap written in another state.
Who's behind it
Lawwa started when a new court rule met a listserv: a redaction tool built for one Seattle defense attorney, shared with the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers — and shaped ever since by the attorneys who use it on real cases.
It's a collaboration between a 25-year Seattle criminal defense practice and a software studio that ships daily. The WACDL AI committee feeds the roadmap; working attorneys bash on every release before it's called done.
