Law Firm - Criminal Law

Challenge

Marin & Murphy was winning cases but flying blind — intake scattered across five disconnected tools, held together by hand. They knew they were outgrowing a setup that could let a good lead slip through unnoticed.

Results

They made the call to modernize. Today the firm runs every lead through one clean HubSpot pipeline, with calls, forms, and payments captured automatically — and, for the first time, a live view of where each lead stands.

"Huify did an excellent job launching HubSpot for our criminal case intake process. Erika and Sergio built a customized intake pipeline, connected Dialpad for seamless call and SMS logging, integrated our Jotform system, and created dashboards that give us real visibility into speed-to-lead and close rates. The onboarding was structured and practical, and our team left training confident in using the system."

About Marin Murphy Law Firm

Marin & Murphy is a Rhode Island criminal defense and DUI firm that has built a strong reputation on a high volume of new-client work. As the firm grew, its founder recognized that the systems carrying that growth hadn't kept pace — and set out to fix it before it became a ceiling.

The Challenge

Marin & Murphy's intake lived in five places that didn't talk to each other — Streak, Dialpad, Zapier, Jotform, and Square — with a team member manually forwarding every web-form lead from an inbox to the right attorney. It worked, but barely: the firm could see monthly revenue, yet had no way to know how many leads came in, how fast the team responded, or what happened to a case once it was assigned. Matt knew a single missed lead could mean a lost client — and that the firm had outgrown a system it couldn't see into. Rather than wait for something to break, he decided to get ahead of it.

The Solution

Matt brought in Huify to make the switch without disrupting the work his team did every day. Together they replaced Streak with a single HubSpot intake pipeline built around how the firm actually operates — assigned lead, attempting contact, fee quoted, court date, retainer paid. Calls and texts now log themselves through Dialpad, Jotform submissions create the contact, case, and note automatically, and a Square automation moves a case to "paid" the moment an invoice clears. The firm's trusted Zapier workflows were carried over intact, so nothing they relied on skipped a beat. And when the old database turned out to be roughly 4,000 duplicates deep, the team made a smart call with Huify: quarantine the mess, and launch the new pipeline 100% clean.

The Results

By sign-off, Marin & Murphy was running its entire criminal intake in HubSpot. Five disconnected tools now feed one pipeline; web-form and phone leads create their own contact, case, and note automatically instead of being forwarded by hand; and Dialpad logs every call against the right case. For the first time, the firm has live dashboards for new leads, days-to-close, and attorney activity — plus an automated daily report that flags any case stuck in "attempting contact" for more than two days, so leads can't quietly stall. The old database — roughly 4,000 of it duplicates — was quarantined so the working pipeline launched 100% clean.

The firm didn't just adopt a new tool; it took ownership of its pipeline—and laid the foundation for future growth with Huify.
