At this year’s Litiquest conference, hosted by Litify, J&Y Law was honored with the Excellence in Growth & Operations Award. The award recognizes firms that have experienced tremendous growth while leveraging technology to improve productivity, client experience, and operational strength. 

For us, this recognition is not just about numbers. It reflects how we work. 

What Is the Litify Excellence in Growth & Operations Award? 

Litify is a legal technology platform built on Salesforce that supports thousands of legal professionals nationwide. The company reports that its platform serves over 30,000 legal professionals across the United States. By combining case management, reporting, and workflow automation within a single cloud-based ecosystem, Litify helps firms centralize operations, improve data visibility, and scale more efficiently without sacrificing oversight. 

The Excellence in Growth & Operations Award recognizes firms that: 

• Demonstrate measurable growth 

• Build scalable internal systems 

• Leverage technology to improve client service 

• Optimize workflows without sacrificing human connection 

This year, J&Y Law was selected for that distinction. 

Representing J&Y Law at Litiquest 

Our Chief Operating Officer, Monica Washington Rothbaum, attended the event alongside our Intake Manager, Sandra Vives. 

In addition to receiving the award, Rothbaum and Vives participated in roundtable discussions with firm leaders from across the country, including sessions on Unlocking Successful Change Management Strategies. These conversations focused on how growing firms implement new technology, align teams across departments, and build systems that evolve without disrupting culture. 

As COO, Washington Rothbaum helps translate vision into execution. From workflow architecture to data optimization, she leads the operational framework that allows our attorneys to focus on advocacy while our systems support scale. 

Vives leads one of the most important entry points in the firm: intake. Growth without structure creates chaos. Growth with intelligent intake design creates opportunity. 

Together, they represent what makes operational excellence possible. 

“We’re grateful to Litify for the recognition and for the partnership,” says Washington Rothbaum. “Growth requires a willingness to constantly improve. Sandra has done an incredible job leading the way on how we use Litify, especially in showing how data can be dynamic. When information flows across departments in real time, we can anticipate issues earlier, move cases faster, and ultimately serve our clients better.” 

How Technology Drives Growth 

At J&Y Law, we built our internal framework around one principle: every client gets an entire team behind them. Not a single overextended attorney. Not a remote office serving California from another state. A real team, here, in the communities we serve. 

That team includes dedicated attorneys, case managers, records clerks, and liens negotiators who work together from day one. Our clients are on a first-name basis with the people handling their case. They can walk into our office, shake their attorney’s hand, and know exactly who is responsible for their file. 

Technology supports that structure. Litify allows us to integrate every touchpoint into one connected ecosystem so nothing slips through the cracks. When intake, case development, medical records, negotiations, and client communication all live inside one dynamic system, accountability improves. Growth doesn’t dilute the client experience. It strengthens it. 

How J&Y Law Uses AI to Strengthen Case Valuations 

We use AI-driven tools, including custom Copilots built within our secure Microsoft 365 environment, to: 

• Analyze medical records to detect treatment gaps or inconsistencies before insurers do 

• Flag patterns insurance carriers may attempt to exploit during negotiations 

• Monitor statutory deadlines, lien compliance, and litigation checkpoints 

• Identify documentation weaknesses early in the life of a case 

• Surface trends across departments to improve valuation accuracy 

• Assist new team members in quickly understanding complex files without sacrificing oversight 

Because our Copilots operate within our internal systems, client data remains protected while still allowing dynamic analysis. The goal is not automation for its own sake. It is risk reduction. 

Insurance companies look for leverage. They scrutinize timelines, search for missing treatment, and question causation. By identifying potential vulnerabilities before carriers do, we strengthen the integrity of our clients’ claims. Technology allows us to move proactively instead of reactively. 

Personal injury cases today are rarely simple. Liability is layered, insurance coverage is fragmented, and the evidence trail is often digital. 

Cases now frequently involve: 

• Layered insurance coverage with primary and excess carriers 

• Commercial defendants operating through multiple LLCs or holding companies 

• Corporate liability structures designed to shield assets 

• Digital evidence including telematics, metadata, and surveillance footage 

• Surveillance and data disputes over what was captured, stored, or altered 

• Emerging “digital damages,” where online conduct, platform design, or data misuse contributes to harm 

In many serious injury cases, the responsible party isn’t immediately obvious. A crash may involve a rideshare driver, a commercial vehicle, a contractor, and a third-party logistics company. A premises case may implicate a property owner, a management company, and a maintenance vendor. A digital footprint can reveal negligence just as clearly as physical evidence. 

Without structure, details slip. Without systems, communication fragments. Without analytics, patterns go unnoticed. Liability today often hides behind paperwork, corporate layering, or data control.
