The Hemmat Law Group has been honored on a global stage, having been shortlisted for the 2025 Legal Impact Award by Clio as part of its annual Reisman Awards—and named a runner-up for the 2025 Reisman Award for Legal Innovation.
Clio representatives said ‘Out of over 300 international submissions, Hemmat Law stood out for its groundbreaking work on Songbird, a low-cost digital platform designed to help self-represented survivors of domestic violence seek protection orders with dignity, speed, and precision.’
Unlike generic form generators, Songbird intelligently assembles customized legal document bundles, organizes declaration narratives, and prepares exhibits through a drag-and-drop timeline—making it possible for survivors to file for protection without needing expensive legal counsel. This innovation is able to help users save thousands of dollars while safeguarding their rights.
Hemmat Law’s inclusion as a finalist affirms what the firm has long believed: real innovation in law means changing who the law works for—and who it reaches.
“We’re honored by this recognition,” said COO, John Socha. “But more importantly, we’re hopeful it shines a light on the access crisis—and inspires new models of legal service delivery nationwide.”
