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.”
MR

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.”

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.”
EW

Elan W.

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

Cons

“I was not as pleased with the document management function. Because it was not integrated, it required a different system to share documents with clients. ”

“Some of the buttons and dropdown menus are a bit small.”

“You submit a request on your account profile, wait for a call, and if you're not available for the call you must return the call from their support team who doesn't answer.”
