Intake becomes a matter
The form a client fills out creates their contact and the matter, filled in, before anyone touches the keyboard.
A new client calls, and by the time you hang up the matter exists, the retainer is out for signature and nobody has retyped a thing. That's what we build for firms: Clio, Filevine, SmartAdvocate and your e-signature and billing tools working as one.
Carrying data from one system to the next by hand is slow, error-prone and costly, and it isn’t what they’re here for. It’s not a people problem. It’s a plumbing problem.
Think about what happens after a good intake call. Someone opens the case system and keys in the details. Then the e-signature tool, a template, the same details again. If the client signs at nine at night, nobody knows until morning.
None of that is legal work. It's carrying information from one box to the next, and it's the reason a misspelled name ends up on a retainer or a deadline never reaches the calendar. Fix the handoffs and the paralegals get their afternoons back.
New-client intake by phone, Clio for matters and billing, a separate e-signature tool for retainers.
The intake call ends and the matter and contact already exist in Clio, pulled straight from the intake form. The retainer goes out for signature within minutes, pre-filled from the matter record, and the signed copy lands back on the matter automatically.
Same people, same tools. The difference is who carries the data.

With usTime and expenses were already on the invoice draft.
The form a client fills out creates their contact and the matter, filled in, before anyone touches the keyboard.
Built from the matter record, sent for signature, and the signed copy files itself back where it belongs.
When a case moves to a new stage, the referring office gets an email and the client gets a text. The case manager only picks up the phone for the cases that need it.
Time and expenses flow into the invoice as you work, so month end stops being a hunt for hours that never got logged.
Enter a court date once on the matter. It shows up on the right calendars without a second entry.

No, and we'd talk you out of it. Clio, Filevine or SmartAdvocate stays the system of record. We connect it to the tools around it and build only what's missing.
They stay put. Each step moves only the fields it needs, and before we build anything we write down exactly what moves and where.
Tell us what your staff retypes on every new matter. You'll get a straight answer on what can run itself, usually within a day.
