The team behind the whole enchilada.
Over 70 years of combined legal technology expertise. Senior staff only. 200M+ documents migrated. This is who you're working with.
OTB Consulting was built on a simple belief — that legal technology only delivers value when the people it was built for actually use it. For over 30 years, we've helped law firms and organizations throughout the US and around the world implement, migrate and adopt the software that makes their practices more efficient, more profitable and easier to run.
We are not generalists. We are legal technology specialists with deep roots in document management, practice management, document automation and the integrations that tie it all together. Every engagement is led by senior staff who have seen it all — the legacy systems, the messy data, the resistant partners and the implementations that almost didn't make it. That experience is what makes OTB different.
We've earned national awards, migrated over 200 million documents, and built a reputation for getting firms across the finish line that others couldn't. But the number we're most proud of is simpler than that — the number of firms where everyone is actually using the system we put in place. That's the whole point. That's OTB.

Thomas L. Rowe, Esq.
Founder & Managing Director
- NetDocuments Certified.
- TechnoLawyer.com Legal Technology Consultant of the Year (2001)
- J.D., University of Georgia School of Law
- B.S. Computer Science & Business Administration, Vanderbilt University
Tom Rowe founded OTB Consulting with something most legal technology consultants don't have — he's actually practiced law. A fourth-generation attorney with dual degrees in Computer Science and Business Administration from Vanderbilt and a J.D. from the University of Georgia School of Law, Tom spent nine years in practice before making the move into legal technology full time.
Before OTB, Tom served as Vice President at DATA.TXT Corporation, developers of Time Matters, where he led the consultant certification program, delivered all certified training and served on the development team for versions 3.0 through 9.0. He is the chief architect of BKexpress, a leading practice management system for consumer bankruptcy firms, and for the past decade has focused primarily on NetDocuments — migrating firms, corporations and general counsel offices from iManage, eDocs, ProLaw, Worldox and Windows document shares. He has personally migrated over 100 million documents and emails.
In 2001, Tom was named TechnoLawyer.com Legal Technology Consultant of the Year. He has spoken at New York LegalTech, ABA TechShow and West Coast LegalTech, and has been published widely in leading legal technology periodicals.
Lindsay Espersen
Senior Consultant
- NetDocuments Certified
- PatternBuilder Certified
- Board Certified in Bankruptcy Law, Texas Board of Legal Specialization
Lindsay Espersen brings something rare to legal technology consulting — she's lived inside the law firms she now helps. With over 20 years of experience working in some of the largest bankruptcy firms in the US, she understands how law firms actually operate, not just how the software manuals say they should.
Lindsay was instrumental in growing a law firm from inception to become the largest bankruptcy practice in Texas, capturing 10% of the state's market share — a result driven by technology, process optimization and relentless attention to efficiency. She is certified in NetDocuments and PatternBuilder, has deep experience with Time Matters and other practice management systems, and was a key designer of OTB's award-winning BKexpress system.
Her specialties include workflow analysis, process improvement, systems design and training. These are the exact skills that turn a good implementation into one that sticks.
Patrick Henderson
Senior Technical Lead
- NetDocuments Certified
- 15+ years at LexisNexis — Senior Systems Engineer
- Time Matters Subject Matter Expert
- SQL & Database Migration Specialist
If there's a complex migration, Patrick Henderson is the person you want on it. As OTB's Senior Technical Lead, Patrick specializes in NetDocuments implementations and the kind of deep, technically demanding document migrations that require more than a checklist — eDocs, WorldDocs, SharePoint, Time Matters, iManage. He's worked with all of them.
Patrick spent over 15 years at LexisNexis in technical support, rising to Senior Systems Engineer and serving as the internal Subject Matter Expert on Time Matters for account representatives and developers. Before OTB he built custom configurations, developed SQL-based solutions and handled end-to-end data migrations at Circle Management Group.
Firms navigating complex migrations don't just need someone who knows the destination. They need someone who knows the obstacles between here and there. That's Patrick.
