We’re excited to share an important update: our owner and operator, AffiniPay, is now 8am—and DocketWise is now 8am DocketWise. While the name has changed, our commitment to immigration legal professionals like you and the communities you serve remains as strong as ever.
DocketWise has long been part of the AffiniPay brand, and with this rebrand to 8am, you can expect a more unified purpose-built solution to support your work, strengthen client relationships, and help your firm thrive.
Why 8am?
The name 8am was inspired by how professionals like you begin each day—with focus, structure, and purpose. It reflects how you manage your practice, serve your clients, and handle the complexity of immigration work every day.
As Dru Armstrong, CEO of 8am, shares:
“8am brings together everything we’ve created into a unified, trusted platform designed to deliver even more value to professionals. It’s a name that speaks to focus, structure, and purpose—the way our customers begin each day, and the way we show up for them.”
Thousands of immigration legal professionals rely on DocketWise every day, and as part of 8am, it’s now connected to a broader platform built to help you work more productively and stay focused on your clients.
What this means for you
If you’re a current DocketWise user, your experience isn’t changing—you’ll continue using the same powerful tools for forms, case tracking, and client communication. What’s new is the name and a refreshed look that reflects a more connected experience ahead.
Here’s what you can expect:
The same intuitive platform, with your usual login and workflows
Ongoing enhancements to tools, automation, and integrations
A consistent 8am identity across emails, solution updates, and support
As Nate Skinner, CMO of 8am, explains: “We’re not changing for change’s sake. We’re making it simpler and easier to see who we are, what we stand for, and how we can help you move your business forward.”
This rebrand strengthens our foundation for building the tools immigration attorneys need to effectively serve clients and confidently manage their firms.
Less busywork. More client focus.
At 8am, it’s all about connection—connecting attorneys with clients, systems with workflows, and your daily work with your long-term goals. As part of the 8am platform, DocketWise works with trusted solutions like LawPay and MyCase to give you a more connected and improved experience.
“I hear from professionals every day about their challenges and ambitions. This change is for them—for you. It’s about creating consistency, clarity, and a platform that’s ready to meet your needs, not just today, but well into the future.” – Dru Armstrong, CEO of 8am
Whether you’re managing a solo practice or leading a growing team, you’ll benefit from deeper integrations, scalable technology, and tools that help you stay focused on your clients, not the busywork.
