Clio is web-based legal practice management software for solo practitioners and small firms. It is designed to replace multiple different systems (like document management, case management, and accounting software) to streamline the amount of technology that small firms need to manage.

CARET Legal had way too many bugs and issues. I'd enter a support ticket and receive a response from support MONTHS after the fact. On random days, certain features such as searching contacts for a specific tagged field was unavailable with no explanation. These little …

We used Clio because we thought it would be more streamlined. After using other applications like CosmoLex and Soluno which, in my opinion, have true software integration, I would absolutely use CosmoLex or Soluno over Clio, which is more expensive but, in my opinion, offers …

I wasn't a big fan of PC Law - Old, clunky, and missing a lot of modern features that our clients wanted. I regret, however, tremendously the fact that we decided to switch to Clio. The devil we knew...

I have used iManage in larger firms, but for my use the cost did not make sense, so I opted for Clio. Clio is not as functional compared to iManage, which I used 10 years ago.

Clio made us a lot of promises they've been completely unable to deliver on. They said the calendar would notify clients of upcoming court dates and help us track tasks. They promised they'd streamline our processes. Instead, we're just stumbling around a dysfunctional …

we switched from Firm Central to Clio for a better array of features and abilities, we did not like the look or appeal of the plug in form builder in Firm Central and did not need or want automated forms

I used Amicus Attorney before switching to Clio over 6 years ago. At the time, I generally liked Amicus; it was powerful but I had to run a server on one of my computers and it was much more complex than Clio as a business owner. Clio is web-based and fairly easy to use. A key …

I used Needles 5 (desktop) and it was certainly antiquated by comparison. Needles was in some regards more customizable and allowed for tracking more case type specific things - like medical records requests, liens, etc. At the same time, it does not connect to as many third …

As a consultant that has used many different software, Clio is among the best. But anyone considering software needs to think about their needs and requirements in order to find the best fit. Simply buying good software will not necessarily fix any issues. The issues need to be …

I switched from MyCase to Clio and haven't looked back. MyCase is decent, but I felt like I could use basic timekeeping/invoicing software for less $$ than MyCase.

The UI is far better than MyCase. For RocketMatter, it was 6 vs. half dozen. But for a dumb name, our firm may have chosen rocket matter. They do many of the same things.

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.

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.

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.
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.
