Clio

Sean Doherty of Law.com just wrote a fantastic review of Clio. To kick off the review, Sean points out the overhead associated with traditional desktop software:

Practice management software is the lifeblood of most large law firms. But with their high cost and management overhead, many solo practitioners and small law firms do without it. Instead, they use a variety of tools like Outlook Contacts for client management and Excel work sheets for time and billing.

With Clio’s web-based practice management, Sean points out “there is no local software to install or maintain”, and that your data is accessible from anywhere you have an Internet connection.

The review chronicles Sean’s experiences in settings up his practice’s data in Clio and exploring Clio’s features over the course of our free 30 day trial. We encourage you to read the entire comprehensive review, but we especially appreciate Sean’s summary: 

To develop my own practice performance metrics and reports and engage in client management and billing is time-consuming. For a monthly subscription fee of $49.00 for attorneys ($25.00 per month for non-attorney support), plus copious storage capacity, it’s hard to resist giving Clio a test drive.
