Pros

“Its cloud-based access means I can work securely from anywhere, and the seamless integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Zoom, and Microsoft 365 streamline my workflow.”

Michael Y.

system engineer

“Clio has an accounting platform, which sync's to your main program, so you can stay on top of state codes that request you maintain records on IOLTA trust accounts.”

Missy R.

Firm Administrator and Legal Assistant

“The platform is intuitive and accessible remotely, making it convenient for both office and mobile use. While there are some limitations with customization and the cost can increase as additional features or users are added, overall it has been an effective tool for improving workflow efficiency and keeping client matters organized.”

Samantha M.

Senior Paralegal Office Manager

Pros

“The centralized case record, with tasks, notes, texts, and documents in one place, does make it easier for my team to see what’s going on without chasing information across multiple tools.”

Christi L.

COO

“Filevine dedicates a Representative to respond to issues and questions, and connect you to the appropriate person(s) to help -- billing, training, implementation, etc.”

Susan Z.

Paralegal for Atty David C Farr

“I must say that everyone I have been in contact with at Filevine has made me feel like I am their only customer -- they value my input, and work to customize Filevine to address our practice in a one attorney and one paralegal/"everything person". ”

Susan Z.

Paralegal for Atty David C Farr

Cons

“The templates offered are not that robust, and there was no option for direct output to Microsoft Word or RTF. To effectively use Clio, one really has to know a lot about editing PDFs.”

Elan W.

Managing Member

“The inability to inform clients that the office is closed and to place limits on when clients can text you via Clio communication.”

Schantell C.

Attorney

“I tried to do the learning parhs but i am not learning anythong the learning paths do not show me the clio website I am teying to get certified with clio the training modules do not contsin what the wenstie looks like practice clicks or anyting”

Juan S.

Paralegal

Cons

“Every time I expressed my concerns, FV employees would demand to address on phone/Zooms (never in writing) which prevented transparency in handling and also demanded an extraordinary amount of time in my schedule.”

Lori W.

Owner and Attorney

“They did not allow access to software before signing contract -they do a customized demo (cannot be downloaded - only played "live" during sales call) that inaccurately portrays the actual product.”

Lori W.

Owner and Attorney

“Filevine promised a modern, scalable case management system for law firms—but over time, it has become an increasingly expensive platform that underdelivers on core functionality while aggressively upselling basic features.”

Christi L.

COO
