In a profession long defined by paper trails and filing cabinets, a quiet shift is underway. Casify, a platform co-founded by Will Ferrier, Ian Ferguson, Rob Gorman, Clinton Parish, and Matt Ziemianski, is bringing artificial intelligence and cloud-based security into one of the most paper-heavy professions, the legal sector. Designed originally for criminal defense attorneys, the software has grown into a broader tool for professionals in law, healthcare, and education who manage sensitive information every day.
The justice system is currently strained with delays, data, and limited resources. Ferguson explains that Casify began as a simple idea among colleagues frustrated by the current inefficiencies throughout the justice system. "We built it because we were living the problem," he said. "Digital evidence was growing at an exponential rate. There were hours of bodycam footage, complex video formats, and terabytes of files in formats that couldn't be searched or accessed easily and lacked the infrastructure to manage them."
Casify can help users to securely upload, store, and analyze digital documents, videos, and other case materials. Its AI-powered transcription and translation can convert video and audio evidence into searchable text, cutting review time dramatically. Gorman describes the system as a "24/7 legal research assistant that bridges technology and the realities of legal work." By bringing advanced case management, AI-powered evidence review, and secure cloud storage to the defense side, Casify aims to restore balance and efficiency to the justice system.
One of Casify's key advantages is how it centralizes and secures information. Users can access cases from anywhere, confident that their data remains protected under strict compliance standards. "We take data security seriously," Ferguson said. "Our system is designed around compliance and privacy safeguards that meet the required standards."
The platform's AI tools are designed not to replace attorneys' judgment but to augment it. "Our goal is to save them time by surfacing the right information at the right moment," Gorman said. The AI only draws from the specific case materials provided, so that sensitive information stays contained within each matter. The Casify AI system has already been field-tested and put to use for thousands of cases.
Casify's features reflect an understanding of how modern professionals work: timestamped notes that can't be altered after saving, seamless document sharing, and real-time collaboration capabilities. Ferguson said, "These details matter because accuracy and accountability are everything in this line of work."
The company's approach to design also emphasizes simplicity. Many legal practitioners still hesitate to embrace new technology, often because of steep learning curves. Ferguson and his team took that personally. "We built Casify for people who didn't grow up with tech," he said. "It had to be intuitive enough that someone could use it right away, no IT department required."
Beyond the legal insights, Casify's functionality has drawn interest from organizations in sectors where privacy and documentation are critical. The company continues to expand its reach across states, refining its systems as it scales. "We have seen how the platform can adapt beyond its original use," Ferguson said. "The foundation is strong and can support other industries where managing evidence, data, or sensitive records is part of everyday work."
Ferrier views Casify as an evolving response to how professionals interact with information. "We are still learning from users every day," he said. "The goal is to make their work smoother, faster, and safer. If we do that, we have done our job."
Turning digital chaos into strategic clarity, Casify ensures that every defense attorney, regardless of firm size or budget, can compete on equal technological footing with the state. It's a reflection of its commitment to ensuring a more balanced, efficient, and equitable justice system where the truth can be found faster, cases can be resolved sooner, and fairness is no longer limited by resources.
