The Practice
Family Law Where Every Minute Matters
Slovensky Divorce & Family Law is a Roanoke, Virginia firm devoted exclusively to family law: divorce, custody, support, and complex domestic litigation. Founded by Devon Slovensky, the firm has grown to roughly 11 timekeepers. Family law runs on high volumes of short interactions: a five-minute client call, a quick Slack message to a paralegal, a brief document review. Each is billable. Each routinely goes unrecorded.
The Evaluation
Every Product on the Market. One Clear Winner.
Devon Slovensky is not a passive buyer. She evaluated every AI timekeeping product available and built custom in-house tools she considered state-of-the-art. Then she ran a live pilot of a competing product side-by-side with Ajax to compare results directly. Ajax outperformed everything - the competitor, the in-house tools, and manual timekeeping.
The differentiators were clear: Ajax produced better categorization, generated more defensible narrative descriptions, and delivered a stronger onboarding experience. The competitor's entries were generic metadata summaries. Ajax's entries read like a senior attorney wrote them.
The Results
Head-to-Head Comparison
Capability | Competitor | Ajax |
|---|---|---|
Work categorization | Basic | More accurate |
Narrative quality | Generic | Defensible, detailed |
Onboarding experience | Standard | White-glove |
Captures short tasks (Slack, quick calls) | Limited | Yes |
Firm-wide conviction | Partial | 2-year commitment |
“Thhis is a godsend. We have just seen so many improvements we can track in real time.”

What The Team Says
From the Founder to the Front Lines
“Just kind of having this taken off my plate has been so good and has increased my billables. I've been meeting my goal every day.”
Lauren Webb
Attorney
"I had some yesterday that were spot on and I didn't have to change a thing.”
Holly Belcher
Paralegal
“Ajax has been helping to capture those conversations on Slack with my paralegals. That was time I wasn't thinking to enter because of how short it is, but it does add up.”
