Lawyers miss deadlines because they track cases in infinite lists. **Jestor Kanban** allows visualizing the firm as a production line: "Drafting" > "Waiting for Judge" > "Hearing Scheduled." You glance and know where the bottleneck is.

### **Deadlines in Sight**

In Kanban, you configure date tags.

- If due today, the card turns red.
- If next week, yellow. This avoids the "missed deadline" nightmare that causes financial and reputational damage.

### **Attachments on Card**

Stop searching the server for the document. The petition PDF and hearing link stay inside the case card. Everything centralized and secure in the cloud.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Can the client see it?** You can create a restricted view where the client sees only the status ("In progress") without seeing your internal comments.

**Does it calculate legal costs?** Yes. Add value fields to the card and sum total costs on the firm's dashboard.

**Does it work for advisory?** Yes, to manage contract drafting and opinions (To Do > Doing > Done).

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor Kanban**, your legal team gains agility and never misses a critical date again.
