Attorney

Jodi A.: Hi, I'm Jodi. I am the attorney owner of my firm, and I give Clio five star rating. For more reviews like this, click below. So I tried out a number of software products before deciding on Clio. I tried out Rocket Matter, MyCase, Houdini, and another one that the name escapes me. I found that Clio had an interface that I liked and it had all the features I liked, and it worked with my current software that I was using. I chose Clio because it enabled me to keep all my client information in one location. While setting appointments, it integrates with a number of apps. I use Gmail and Google Calendar, Clio interfaced with that when I signed up. Since I originally signed up about 10 years ago, it integrates with a ton more of options now. Onboarding with Clio is very simple. You don't need a ton of computer knowledge in order to do it. The Clio staff is so extremely helpful. Anytime I need something, I reach out and they are great to work with. Well, if you're going to use Clio and you want a complete app, I would definitely strongly suggest Clio. Right now there's Clio. Clio has a CRM called Clio Grow. They have a payment integration called Clio Payments. They integrate with so many different softwares. I use LEX Reception. It integrates with that, but it integrates with other reception services. I've recently signed for Lawyer, which is a document prep service. If you are looking for a complete package, I would definitely suggest Clio. The other thing about Clio is that it's really not just a software company. They provide numerous free webinars on various topics, and there's also the annual ClioCon every year.
