The first tool that reads handwriting.
From handwritten
intake to a finished
Best Case file.
Casewell reads the handwritten bankruptcy intake form and hands you a ready-to-import Best Case file. It doesn't replace the software your firm files with — it feeds it, so your paralegals stop retyping and start reviewing.
Reading a handwritten intake form is still manual.
The filing software is fine. The bottleneck is getting the handwritten form into it accurately.
Handwriting is slow to read
Scanned intake forms get re-keyed by hand, one field at a time.
A single read makes mistakes
One pass over messy handwriting mis-reads digits, names, and amounts.
No review trail
Attorneys need a defensible record of what was read and confirmed.
Best Case re-entry
The same facts get typed again into the filing software.
From scanned form to Best Case-ready file.
Upload the form
Drop a scanned intake PDF or images.
Read it N times
Multiple independent OCR passes run in parallel.
Cross-check votes
The reads are compared field by field for agreement.
Confirm the unsure
You confirm only the fields the reads disagreed on.
Export to Best Case
A verified .BCB, ready to import into Best Case.
Augments Best Case. Doesn't replace it.
Your firm keeps the petition software, the templates, and the muscle memory it already has. Casewell takes over the one step nobody enjoys: getting the handwritten packet into it, accurately.
Multiple independent reads
Casewell reads the scanned intake packet several times with independent OCR passes, then compares the reads field by field. When every read agrees, the field is marked green. Any disagreement is flagged for a human.
Confirm only what is uncertain
Your staff never proofreads the whole form. They see only the fields the reads disputed — each shown beside the cropped handwriting from the original page — and click the right value or type the correction.
Deterministic mapping to schedules
Confirmed values map onto Best Case fields and schedules through fixed rules, not guesses. The same intake always produces the same file, and every mapping is inspectable before export.
A verified import file
The export is a native .BCB file. Before it is handed to you, Casewell reads the generated file back and checks it against the confirmed values, so what you import is what your team approved.
Your workflow stays in Best Case
Import the file and continue exactly as your firm works today — schedules, the means test, review, filing. Casewell sits in front of your filing software, not in place of it.
It reads the handwriting and hands you the finished case.
Multi-read OCR consensus
Read the form several times and cross-check every field.
Confidence per field
Green, amber, and red flag exactly what to double-check.
Confirm against the scan
Disputed fields show the cropped handwriting beside each choice.
Deterministic mapping
Confirmed values map to Best Case schedules with no guessing.
Verified .BCB export
Every file is read back to prove it imports cleanly.
Run history
Every case is saved with its votes, confirmations, and file.
Built for attorney review, not autopilot.
Every read is checkable. Every confirmation is recorded. Every final file stays under attorney control.
Works with the software your firm already uses.
Casewell augments your Best Case workflow: it prepares the reviewed, verified file, and your team keeps filing exactly the way it does today.

Questions firms ask first.
Does this replace Best Case?
No. It works before Best Case by turning the handwritten intake form into a reviewed file you import. Your team keeps filing in the software it already uses.
Do we have to change how we use Best Case?
No. Casewell augments the workflow you already have. The only change is where the data comes from: instead of retyping the intake packet, you import a reviewed, verified file and pick up in Best Case exactly where you normally would.
Does it file cases with the court?
No. It prepares a ready-to-import Best Case file. Filing stays with your attorneys and your existing process.
How does it avoid mis-reading handwriting?
It reads the form several times independently and cross-checks each field. Where the reads disagree, it shows you the cropped handwriting and asks you to confirm.
Is the exported file actually importable?
Every generated .BCB is read back and verified before it is handed to you, so it imports cleanly into Best Case.
Is this legal advice?
No. It assists firm staff with reading, review, and export. Attorneys remain responsible for legal judgment and final filings.
