Why VFL Toolkit

One app. The whole Virginia case.

Five reasons Virginia family-law attorneys retire the spreadsheet stack.

1

Virginia only

Not a national product with a Virginia setting. Every schedule, worksheet, form number, and local rule in it exists because a Virginia case needed it — so the answer you get is the answer your judge expects.

2

Enter it once

One matter profile feeds every calculation, every PDF, every template — 190 merge fields deep. Encrypted client intake fills it in for you. Install, run intake, draft.

3

Security

Local-first by default. Optional two-way sync runs through your own Dropbox — your files stay in your Dropbox, never a developer database. The optional hosted intake service is zero-knowledge — the server never sees readable client data.

4

Desktop-class

True native apps — not a web app in a wrapper. On Mac: menu commands, ⌘K global search, desktop-class document generation, included with every plan. The same toolkit runs natively on Windows, too.

5

Honest pricing

Two plans. No per-matter fees, no add-on modules, no “contact sales.” Annual runs about 20% less than monthly — roughly two months on the house — and starts with a 7-day trial when eligible.

Calculate

A number you can defend

Virginia guideline calculations that match the Code — including the 2025 child-support schedule — not a spreadsheet someone built in 2011. Hand the court the worksheet, not your arithmetic.

  • Child support for sole, shared, split, and hybrid custody — DC-637, DC-638, and DC-640 worksheets generated automatically
  • Spousal support under Va. Code Ann. § 16.1-278.17:1, with and without minor children, plus an analyzer built on the § 20-107.1 factors
  • Income imputation, retroactive support with daily-compounding statutory interest, and annual-pay analysis
  • Military LES/ELS parsing with camera OCR, plus Regular Military Compensation (RMC) with DoD differential-tax math
  • Every result saves to the matter and exports as a court-ready worksheet
DC-637DC-638DC-640LES / ELS OCR
Never miss a date

Dates that can't slip

Enter the trial date. Fifteen court-specific scheduling-order templates count backward for you, with Virginia holiday math built in — then push the whole calendar to Apple Calendar.

  • 15 prebuilt court templates — Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, Richmond Metro, the 9th Circuit — plus a custom builder for any court
  • Build your own court templates right in the app with ease — set each deadline once, then reuse them on every matter with no spreadsheet in sight
  • Automatic weekend and Virginia court-holiday rollback on every deadline
  • 54 Virginia pretrial motions tagged by court, authority, timing, and the J&DR / Circuit discovery distinction
  • A Rule 4:12 fee-motion builder that emits motion, affidavit, and proposed order as one PDF packet
  • One-tap export to Apple Calendar or a universal .ics file

A complete GAL workspace

Pick one of ten appointment types and the whole workspace adapts — its own Case Guide, the right statutes, and the forms Virginia actually requires. Court-appointed or privately retained.

  • Appointment-type Case Guide: governing statutes, recordable element assessments that file into your report, a prep checklist, child-interview prompts by age band, and an oral-report outline
  • Rate-aware DC-40 time tracking with a court-ready PDF timesheet export — rates apply by service date, mirroring EVPS
  • DC-540 compliance certification with face-to-face hours auto-filled from the time tracker, and the DC-606 indigency affidavit
  • Home Visits: a guided worksheet with a source-weighted fact log — observed, reported, corroborated — so every fact in the report traces back to where it came from
  • A Report Builder that compiles your investigation into an editable Word draft with Initial / Supplemental sequencing
  • One-tap GAL letters — records requests under § 16.1-266(G), counsel authorization, party introductions — with automatic DC-514 enclosure and counsel cc'd when a parent is represented
  • A four-stage statutory Dependency Timeline for abuse & neglect, CHINS, entrustment, and TPR dockets
  • Privately retained instead of appointed? A Fee Order tab builds the order setting your fee and apportioning it between the parties

Equitable Distribution

Structure the property case with the framework Virginia courts expect — and walk in with exhibits already numbered.

  • Brandenburg tracing with marital / separate / hybrid classification on every asset
  • Property inventory, debt schedule, and retirement schedule — each its own exhibit-ready PDF
  • 27 retirement plan types with QDRO / COAP pointers — IRA, 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), TSP, FERS, CSRS, VRS and the Virginia ORP, private pensions, and military retirement
  • Military retirement guidance: SBP, DFAS direct-pay eligibility, gray-area retiree callouts

Draft

Documents that draft themselves

A client's name is entered once and lands correctly in every caption, every recital, every signature block. Merge a matter into finished paperwork — your Word templates, in-app letters, or court-ready PDFs. No retyping, ever.

  • Import your firm's Word (.docx) templates and merge matter data into filing-ready documents — 190 merge fields, including adoption and contested-adoption sets
  • Quick Draft walks a template start to finish in a few taps — pick, fill, generate
  • 18 ready-to-import Word templates and 58 court-ready PDF document types out of the box
  • Letter Templates: author reusable correspondence in the app, wrapped in your firm letterhead — no Word needed
  • Representation agreements and fee addenda composed from a code catalog, then sent for signature
  • Template Creation Assistant maps highlighted firm documents into draft templates automatically
  • A curated Virginia clause library with merge fields already embedded
  • Standardized signature blocks, Certificate of Service, and attorney-controlled redaction on every export

Apple Intelligence

The paperwork reads itself.

Eight opt-in tools that turn documents into data — every one of them running on your device, through Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Nothing is uploaded. Not to Apple, not to us, not to anyone. Each is off until you switch it on.

Scheduling Order Scanner

Photograph the order the clerk just handed you. Get the deadlines, on the calendar, before you leave the courthouse.

Paystub & W-2 Import

Drop in what the client sent. Gross, deductions, and year-to-date land in the support calculator instead of your legal pad.

Brief Me

A pre-hearing digest of the matter — parties, posture, numbers, what's outstanding — read on the walk from the parking deck.

Voice Time Entry

Say what you did between hearings. It becomes a properly coded, billable entry on the right matter.

GAL Notes → Report Draft

Your investigation notes, assembled into a first draft of the report you were going to write tonight.

Template Assistant

Describe a clause in plain English. Get merge syntax whose fields are validated against your matter — invented fields are stripped before you ever see them.

Writing Assistance

Tighten a paragraph of correspondence without handing your client's facts to a chatbot. It never replaces your words without your say-so.

Card Suggestions

The right resource card, hearsay exception, or motion surfaced for the matter you have open — because it read the matter, not your browsing history.

There is no API key, no usage meter, and no prompt log — because there is no server. If Apple Intelligence isn't available on your device, every one of these features simply stays off and the rest of the app works exactly the same.

Try the case

Prepared on paper. Sharp on your feet.

Every other tool in here makes the file better. This one makes you better. Five minutes a day in Daily Practice — a rotating focus, progress tracking, and narration audio — keeps your objections and your client conversations in shape between hearings.

  • Rule 1:18B witness and exhibit lists with exchange and objection deadlines
  • Tiered expert designations and an attorney's-fees affidavit builder
  • Trial Drills — 228 objection scenarios across 80 packs, with spaced-repetition review and a Home Screen widget that keeps the streak honest
  • Litigation & Client Exercises — 72 reps on motions practice, examinations, and client counseling
  • Weekly Communication Exercises — 66 drills across 9 weekly tracks for sharper client, counsel, and courtroom communication
  • 22 Virginia hearsay exceptions organized by the 8 hearing types they actually arise in — with foundation questions, copyable motion language, and courtroom audio
  • Matter-pinned trial references: pin motions, hearsay exceptions, and resource cards to a matter for instant retrieval at counsel table
  • 300 attorney resource cards across 14 categories: bench cards, discovery response shells, Va. Code references, military and federal-employee specialties — plus the VFL Monitor for what changed

Intake, billing & trust accounting

The client fills in the file before you open it — and the books balance without a second subscription.

  • Encrypted client intake the client completes in any browser — decrypted only on your device
  • Optional zero-knowledge hosted links: send a secure URL instead of an attachment; the server never sees readable data
  • Matter-type-aware questionnaires — divorce, custody, four adoption types, contested adoption, donor agreements, GAL
  • Optional billing: time entries with a running timer, hard and soft costs, client bills with a review workflow
  • Trust accounting with per-client ledgers, reconciliation safeguards, and letterhead billing statements
  • Hosted LawPay invoices for trust deposits and bill payments, with amount-and-account verification before a completed payment posts to the right ledger
  • Optional LawPay Pay Later, powered by Affirm: when activated for the firm and offered to an eligible client, the client can apply on LawPay's hosted page from the client's own device
  • Per-matter Dropbox sync with party-scoped folders, an in-app file browser, and privilege-safe sharing — your files stay in your own Dropbox
  • Send documents for legally binding e-signature via Dropbox Sign, with signers drawn from the matter — track status and pull the executed copy back into the matter
  • Optional Shared Firm Workspace: as the managing attorney, share chosen matters with additional attorneys, paralegals, or legal assistants by their Dropbox email (Editor or Viewer) — they work the same clients, matters, time, and billing from their own device, only what your permissions allow, shared entirely through your own Dropbox with no developer server
  • Teammates join in seconds from an invite link or code; firm seats are paid by the managing attorney on the Complete plan, and team members are covered by your plan and never billed separately

Guides & audio narration

A 32-section guide, built in.

Every surface of the app is documented inside it — with step-by-step common tasks, tips, and one-tap “open in app” links. It anchors a suite of four built-in guides, and every section reads aloud with built-in audio narration. Export any guide as a single PDF and your new paralegal is trained by Friday.

  • Searchable across all 32 sections, plus ⌘K global search
  • Four built-in guides in all — the VFL Toolkit Guide, a focused GAL Guide, a Document Template Guide, and the Firm, Sharing & Subscriptions Guide
  • Listen instead of read — 79 narrated audio clips covering every guide section and all seven Security topics
  • Friendly overviews, common-task walkthroughs, and pro tips in every section
  • One-tap export of any guide as a table-of-contents-led PDF

At your desk. In court. On the go.

True native apps on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows — not a website in a wrapper. The Mac app suite is included with every subscription at no extra cost.

Apple-inspired design, the same on every platform — the Windows app shares the same look and feel, designed for Apple devices from the very first line of code.

iPhone

The full feature set tuned for the courthouse — quick calculations on the go — in consultations, at counsel table, or in depositions.

iPad

A three-column layout, full-screen worksheets, and side-by-side case review with a keyboard.

Mac

Desktop-class document generation, menu-bar commands, and ⌘K search across the whole practice.

Windows

The same native toolkit on Windows — built so a firm running Mac and Windows works the same matters, side by side.

Local-first by design

Client data stays on your devices.

Confidentiality isn't a feature tier — it's the architecture.

📱

On-Device Storage

Every matter, client, and calculation is stored locally on your device by default.

🔒

Secure Biometric Lock

Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID on Apple devices — and Windows Hello on Windows — re-locks the app the moment it leaves the foreground.

☁️

Opt-In Dropbox Sync

Two-way sync runs through your own Dropbox — your files stay in your Dropbox, never a developer database.

🛡️

Controlled Redaction

A Redact sheet appears before every export, so you decide what gets masked, every time.

🧠

Private, On-Device AI

All eight Apple Intelligence tools run on your device. No cloud, no prompt log, no external training.

No developer-operated server touches matter data unless you opt into the zero-knowledge hosted intake service — and even then, the server never sees plaintext.
Attorney-controlled by design

Integrations you can defend.

Every integration is optional, disclosed, and connected by you on your own account — there is no developer-operated middle layer holding your matters. Turn on only what your practice uses; everything else stays off, and the app works fully without any of them.

Dropbox sync Dropbox firm sharing Dropbox Sign LawPay hosted payments LawPay Pay Later Apple Calendar Hosted Intake (zero-knowledge) Print & Mail
  • Dropbox sync & firm sharing — your matters and documents sync through your own Dropbox, not a developer database, and the same folders let an attorney share a matter with a paralegal at Editor or Viewer access.
  • Dropbox Sign — send a representation agreement or any matter document for binding e-signature. The client signs in a browser with nothing to install; the executed PDF returns to the matter on its own. Works for a prospective client before a matter exists.
  • LawPay hosted payments & Pay Later — trust deposits and bill payments as secure hosted links wired to the trust and operating ledger. Card and bank data never touch the app; Pay Later applications stay on Affirm's hosted service.
  • Apple Calendar — deadlines and hearings write to your calendar with reminders, plus a universal .ics export for Google, Outlook, or anything else.
  • Hosted Intake — send a client a secure link and get the questionnaire back encrypted. The server never holds a readable copy: the key that opens it never leaves your device.
  • Print & Mail — for the parent who will not answer a link. Post a Guardian ad Litem intake questionnaire on paper without leaving the matter; the address is confirmed before anything is sent, and the proof of mailing files itself to the case.

Deliberately not integrated: third-party practice-management clouds, ad networks, analytics, or anything else that would route client data through a non-attorney-controlled server.

Add your team

Running a firm? On the Complete plan, the managing attorney adds seats and the whole team works the same clients, matters, time, and billing through the firm’s own Dropbox — covered by the firm’s plan and never billed separately.

Additional attorney seat
$49.99 / month
or $479.99 / year each — the full Complete rate per added attorney.
Paralegal or legal-assistant seat
$24.99 / month
or $239.99 / year each — half the attorney rate for support staff.

Add up to five of each, billed to the managing attorney through the App Store. New seats take effect immediately; reductions apply at the next renewal. Invite teammates by their Dropbox email as Editor or Viewer — they see only what your permissions allow, entirely through your firm’s Dropbox with no developer server.

No per-matter fees, no add-on modules — just optional team seats when your firm grows. Upgrade or downgrade between plans in the same App Store subscription group, and cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Built in a Virginia family-law practice.
For Virginia family-law practices.

Every calculator, deadline, and document in VFL Toolkit exists because a working Virginia attorney needed it on a real case — usually the night before a hearing. Seven days, free, and you'll know within one whether it belongs in your practice.
