Building Complete Legal Aid for Production

Complete Legal Aid is a legal technology platform where citizens, lawyers, and admins collaborate in one system.

My Role

I worked as Frontend Lead and Full-Stack Contributor.

What I Built

  • Full frontend experience for 3 user roles
  • Real-time chat interface with attachments and read receipts
  • Booking and payment UI flows
  • AI drafting integration for legal document assistance

Core Stack

  • React 19 + TypeScript + Vite
  • Django + WebSocket
  • Firebase notifications
  • GCP-backed deployment services

Key Outcome

The AI drafting flow reduced document preparation time from around 45 minutes to under 3 minutes.

Takeaway

In legal-tech products, workflow clarity matters as much as raw features. Reliable role separation and communication flow made the platform usable in real scenarios.
