Adalat.pk | Next.js | Law firm application
Case Study: Building Adalat.pk's Legal Marketplace
I developed Adalat.pk, a comprehensive legal application as a solo developer, facilitating a platform where lawyers can register and offer their services, while clients can easily find and connect with them based on specific legal needs.
The client was a law firm based in the country, comprised of 20-30 lawyers, administrators, and barristers. At that time, they lacked an online presence. They approached us with the goal of creating an application to enhance their visibility and make their legal services more accessible to people across the country.

Features

Challenges
The main challenge was to understand the complexities and unique obstacles that clients and lawyers face in the country. To address this, we optimized the application by removing the initial sign-in requirement for clients to ask questions, making the platform more accessible. Clients can now freely interact with lawyers and ask questions without any barriers. Once they decide to proceed with a lawyer's services or share their experience, they can create an account.

Workflow
As the solo developer, I adopted a modified Agile approach with one-week iterations and regular client touchpoints. I implemented a CI/CD pipeline with automated testing to ensure rapid, error-free deployments. User feedback was collected through in-app surveys and directly incorporated into the backlog. I maintained detailed documentation of API endpoints and component architecture to facilitate future scaling.

Results
Successfully onboarded numerous lawyers and clients, leading to increased engagement and positive user feedback.
