Research has shown how using checklists prevents mistakes – when airlines started using checklists prior to take-off, air travel became much safer; when hospitals started using checklists, there was a huge reduction in mistakes in the operating room. The same principles apply to handling cases – following Lista workflows helps avoid mistakes and gets cases approved!

Lista can be used along with your current legal database. We expect in the future to develop APIs for seamless integration with a number of legal databases.

Our Story

AILA attorney Catherine Haight started Haight Law Group in 2002 and developed numerous step-by-step workflows for handling employment- and family-based immigration law cases. Catherine then created Lista as the platform for managing the workflows and monitoring ongoing cases. Instead of spending hours researching or asking their colleague or supervisor what to do next, staff members have a clear roadmap for case processing. Training time has been reduced considerably.

Catherine soon realized other attorneys and law firms would benefit from Lista. The platform is now available by subscription with the ability to purchase reusable immigration case processing workflows.

Testimonials

“Lista is a one-stop shop for case processing workflows and sample letters. Makes case preparation a breeze!”

Matt O.

“Lista is a game changer. It’s a workflow manifesto. The attorney doesn’t have to guess whether they checked all aspects of the case. More importantly, if another attorney or a paralegal picks up the case they don’t have to worry about missing anything—the various checkpoints ensure no details are missed. Highly recommended for all attorneys, irrespective of the years in practice.”

Raj I.

“Lista is comprehensive, yet simple to use. Easy-to-follow steps. The Lista links, cites, and sample templates/letters are real time savers!”
