Overview
A Small Firm With National Ambitions — and a Workflow Problem
When Faith Potter, Esq., partner at Restore The Child, PLLC, began expanding her plaintiffs' litigation and resolution practice into every federal district court in the U.S., the operational math didn't add up. Two attorneys. Two paralegals. Thousands of pages of case documents per matter. And jurisdiction-specific legal research that could consume an entire workday per case.
After adopting Anytime AI, the firm transformed its federal research and document review workflow — cutting research time from six hours to just 45 minutes, and compressing document review from hundreds of hours to a fraction of that.
The Challenge
Scale, Scope, and the Weight of Every Document
Federal litigation is demanding under any circumstances. For a small firm competing across dozens of districts simultaneously, the documentation and research burden was immense — and growing.
Research consumed full days
Every new federal district required unique research into local rules and prior rulings. At roughly six hours per case, this alone threatened to crowd out all other work.
Document productions were massive
Cases routinely arrived with 20 to 7,000 pages of documents. Manually searching for critical exhibits or facts meant hours of tedious review — per case, per matter.
A four-person ceiling
The team had no path to national scale without either dramatically expanding headcount or fundamentally changing how work got done. Only one of those was realistic.
"It would require hours of searching through documents to find one or two that were important to the case."

The Turning Point
From Conference Room to Daily Practice
The introduction to Anytime AI came through a chance encounter at a legal technology conference, where one of Faith's attorneys met the team. A single demo call was all it took to close the decision.
The onboarding was described as smooth and well-supported — particularly meaningful for a team with no prior AI experience. Faith herself noted that learning to frame questions effectively was the steepest part of the learning curve, and that the Anytime AI team guided her through it directly.
"Once we did the initial call with you guys, we were like, yes, this is definitely something we're interested in."
The Solution
Speed, Reach, and a Firm That Scales
The impact was immediate. Research timelines collapsed. Document review — once measured in hundreds of hours — compressed into a fraction of the time. And a four-person team gained the capacity to compete nationally.
01
AI-powered legal research
Anytime AI provides rapid access to district-specific case law, local rules, and prior rulings — compressing what once took six hours of research into under an hour. During one client meeting, Faith demonstrated the capability live: she surfaced Oklahoma federal district case law in under five minutes, in real time.
02
High-volume document review
The platform's review feature processes thousands of pages in minutes — surfacing critical exhibits, relevant facts, and key references without requiring the attorney to read every page manually. For a firm regularly fielding productions of up to 7,000 pages, this capability is transformative.
03
Legal drafting support
Anytime AI assists with producing precise legal documents, enabling the team to move from research to drafting without the friction of manual transitions between tools or workflows.
04
Continuous platform improvement
Faith highlighted Anytime AI's ongoing development cadence as a meaningful differentiator — new features and improvements arrive regularly, compounding the platform's value over time without additional effort from the firm.
"The review feature can sort through 7,000 pages in a very short period — it's absolutely priceless."
The Results
Speed, Reach, and a Firm That Scales
The impact was immediate. Research timelines collapsed. Document review — once measured in hundreds of hours — compressed into a fraction of the time. And a four-person team gained the capacity to compete nationally.
Reduction in research time per case
Federal court research dropped from six hours to 30–45 minutes — freeing up the equivalent of a full workday across every new district and matter.
Effective search time across 7,000-page productions
Critical documents and exhibits that once required hours of manual review are now surfaced within minutes — regardless of file volume.
Person team operating in every federal district
National reach achieved without expanding headcount — the traditional growth bottleneck eliminated entirely through workflow efficiency.
"It's better than an intern. It's reliable, it's fast, and anytime there is a problem, you guys are on it. I've never had customer service quite like this before."

Why It Works
Purpose-Built Support — Including After the Sale
Faith Potter noted not just the platform's capabilities, but the quality of the team behind it. For a small firm without a dedicated IT function, responsive support isn't a nice-to-have — it's essential. Anytime AI's commitment to same-day issue resolution, training, and ongoing guidance was highlighted as a standout differentiator.
"Anytime there is a problem, you guys are on it. I get an email within five to ten minutes — it's either fixed, explained, or additional training is offered."

The platform's continuous improvement cadence was equally important — new features and capabilities ship regularly, meaning the value delivered on day one is only a starting point.
"The fact that it is constantly being upgraded, constantly, new features are coming out — that's really exciting."

The Bottom Line
What Becomes Possible When Research Isn't the Constraint
For Faith Potter's team, Anytime AI didn't just reclaim hours — it changed the ceiling on what a small litigation firm can do. National coverage. Same-day research. Document review at scale. All with a four-person team that had never used AI before.
The results point to something broader: the most valuable AI tools for litigation aren't those that replace legal judgment — they're the ones that clear the path for it, turning hours of preparation into minutes, and letting attorneys focus on strategy, advocacy, and outcomes.
