    my current firm uses it. I think that they stack up pretty much the same, with Clio maybe having a little bit better platform for firms that bill hourly.

    Unlike more general platforms like Clio, Assembly Neos is built with PI firms in mind.

    Chose Assembly Neos
    My current job uses Assembly Neos and my previous job used Needles and migrated to Neos. So far, Neos is superior to other legal practice case management programs. I have friends who work at larger firms locally who don't have any type of program like this and it blows my mind.

    Chose Assembly Neos
    We selected NEOS because we had heard from other firms that it was great and very useful, especially geared to personal injury. This made us very excited until we realized that, for the small size of our firm, NEOS was not for us.

    In my personal experience Assembly Neos is well suited for all our business needs here at our law firm. I can't think of any scenario where it's less appropriate. I can't even imagine what my workload would be like without Assembly Neos. It makes my case management easier and bearable. If you haven't worked with Assembly Neos you should give it a try because it will meet your needs.

    Clio allows our law firm to track all aspects of a matter, such as documents, emails, time entries, tasks, and notes, in one place. This is ideal for our mid-sized law firm, which handles general litigation, personal injury, and family law. A feature we appreciate is the client portal's secure way to share updates, documents, and invoices.

    Pros
    Assembly Software
    • Stores large files/allows for large files to be easily accessed and pulled up
    • The Assembly Neos tagging feature in the notes section has been incredibly helpful in keeping assignments organized and directing coworkers to certain case files
    • The tabs in the Documents section are very detailed and help keep large case files organized
    • The display of each file is easy to look at and organized, even when the files are very big or busy

    • Provides an interface with NextChapter Bankruptcy.
    • Provides an interface with the forms on our website and landing pages to allow for easy transmission of potential clients into our Clio system from these sources with little human intervention.
    • Its billing, invoicing and payment integration makes the billing cycle for clients easier.

    Cons
    Assembly Software
    • The lists that Neos has need to be updated and more accurate; a lot of the items are not useful.
    • Neos can be very difficult to use for someone that isn't tech savvy.
    • I wish that the notes and communications tabs were the same tab, there are almost too many tabs for information to be.

    Clio
    • Document management. It's still far easier for me to create Word templates and just use Word.
    • Centralized filing of client files. Like I said, I use Word. I work on a Mac and use Mac's tag structure. Clio should find a way to gather all files that have a certain tag and allow me to access them through Clio. Instead, I use Hazel and DropBox.
    • Case planning and budgeting. I use OmniFocus for project management, a self-created Excel spreadsheet for project budgeting and a cloud-based service for Gantt charts. How hard would it be to add robust project management tools to Clio?
    • Search feature for stored documents and information. Evernote has Clio beat hands-down, but I don't put client-sensitive information (only caselaw) on Evernote.
    • Case notes. This feature may be useful for high-volume practices, but I never use it.

    I gave Assembly Neos a 10/10 because it has transformed how we manage cases from intake to settlement. The platform combines powerful automation, centralized document management, and seamless communication tracking in a way that saves our team hours every week. It’s intuitive for new users, highly customizable to match our workflows, and backed by responsive customer support. NeosAI and workflow automation have noticeably reduced manual tasks, allowing us to focus more on client service and case strategy. Overall, it’s become an essential tool for running our firm efficiently and effectively.

    Because it's been a good and efficient source for our company to manage our client's profiles and being able to track everything that is happening during the process of their case. And while they get the attention needed but also for us to see the progress we have made with their treatment.

    Clio
    Clio is intuitive and easy to learn. Even new staff or attorneys with limited tech experience can quickly navigate through tasks, matters, billing, and calendars. This reduces training time and increases productivity, especially in a busy mid-sized law firm. Because it’s cloud-based, Clio can be accessed from any device, anywhere. Whether I am working in the office, at home, or in court, I have full access to my cases, documents, and time entries.

    When I contact them, I am told that the person who can help me cannot be reached but that I should call back. When I call, I cannot get ahold of anyone who can help. Sales/support does not respond to my emails. Maybe if you are part of a large firm they treat you differently.

    Alternatives Considered
    Assembly Software
    Neos stands out strongly against other case management software programs due to its consistent and frequent updates. Most software updates occur once a quarter or even once a year. I feel like I'm receiving a message from Neos Assembly once a week, advising that a new feature is in the beta stage or is now live as a complete new addition.

    We did not use any other practice management software, but I did evaluate Rocket Matter as a potential alternative. Rocket Matter does not have the same robust intake software that Clio Grow does and therefore it was not even a plausible alternative for us to implement. Clio is constantly updating and evolving based on feedback from users and that makes it the kind of program that can grow with your business needs.

    Return on Investment
    Assembly Software
    • By creating well-defined processes and implementing automated systems within the platform, it has become significantly easier to handle a higher volume of cases than would be possible without any systems in place.
    • The time saved on administrative tasks can now be redirected toward higher-value activities, such as client engagement and case strategy, ultimately driving better outcomes and supporting business growth.
    • With real-time updates and shared access to documents and notes, everyone involved in a case can collaborate more effectively, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring tasks are completed on time. This transparency also helps with tracking progress and identifying areas for improvement.

    • Hard to judge ROI, but it saves us money compared to our old server based system (ProLaw)
    • More accessible from more places. I was able to continue working during a two week trip to the beach.
    • The Client Portal (Clio Connect) is a positive way to send clients document securely, avoids the forwarded email / forwarded attachment problem.
