Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Harvey and Pierson Ferdinand, not ours.
- 55 hours“saving an estimated 55 hours and delivering preliminary findings to the client in two days rather than three weeks”
- 100 to 150 hours“Another partner saved 100 to 150 hours building deposition outlines on a case spanning 1,000+ documents and a dozen witnesses.”
- 61%“Pierson Ferdinand has doubled in size in two years, grown 61% year over year”
- 200“The firm evaluated more than 200 products, and security alone eliminated most of them.”
At a bare minimum, every attorney saves 10 hours a week, and many report reclaiming 15 to 20. But Michael Pierson and Joel Ferdinand frame it as reallocated time, not saved time.
