Our Story

When attorney Justin Cutler founded his law firm in 2016, the first problem he faced was getting any work at all. After a lot of time and a lot of work he found himself faced with a different problem — one many solo and small-firm lawyers know too well — too much work, too little time.

He loved serving clients, but the constant drafting, revising, and managing paperwork left little room for growth, or life.

So Justin decided to do something attorneys rarely do: find someone to help him build his own software to fix it.

At first, the goal was to make estate planning faster for everyone. In late 2019, Turbo Wills was launched as a direct-to-consumer platform to let families create their own estate plans online. But Justin quickly learned something important: people don’t want to trust their legacy to software alone.

They want an attorney they can talk to. Someone who understands their family, their fears, and their future.

So he pivoted. Instead of replacing attorneys, he decided to empower them.

The software that would become Estate Engine powered Justin’s firm, Cutler Riley, from the start. The results were undeniable:
    •    6-time “Best Estate Planning Law Firm in Salt Lake City” winner
    •    600+ 5-star Google reviews
    •    A small team serving hundreds of families — without burning out

Estate Engine became the quiet force behind that success.

Now, it’s time to share it.

We believe the best attorneys don’t need to work longer hour, they just need better tools.

Estate Engine helps solo and small-firm estate planning attorneys work smarter, serve better, and grow stronger — without sacrificing the personal touch clients deserve.

Because great technology shouldn’t replace you. It should make you more human in every interaction.

Estate Engine was built by an estate planning attorney who knows your challenges firsthand.
