Every construction law firm faces the same tension: clients need NTOs filed regularly, but billing $200 for 20 minutes of paralegal work feels wrong. Doing it for free is not sustainable. And letting it pile up risks missed deadlines.
The real cost
NTO filings are deceptively time-consuming. Chasing missing details, printing, mailing, tracking. Each filing involves 30 to 45 minutes of total staff time. For a firm handling 20 filings a month, that is 10 to 15 hours of paralegal time on work that generates minimal revenue.
How SimpleNTO absorbs the work
The client enters details directly. We prepare the NTO, handle certified mail, and provide tracking. Your staff touches none of it. The client pays $59 directly. No billing friction, no write-off discussions.
You stay in the loop where it matters
Clients still come to you for legal advice about lien rights, contract review, lien enforcement, and disputes. The NTO filing is the on-ramp to legal work, not the legal work itself.
The bottom line
NTO filings are necessary and time-sensitive. They are also repetitive and low-margin. SimpleNTO handles the part your clients need. You handle the part that requires a law degree.
SimpleNTO is a document preparation service, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice or legal representation.
