CRM for law firms

Client intake, matter tracking, and follow-up CRM picks for law firms — not full practice-management or billing suites.

Importante

For client intake and follow-up — not legal practice management (billing, trust accounting, court calendaring).

For most firms the leak isn't billing — Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther already track matters and trust accounting. The leak is intake: leads that call after hours, consultations that never get a follow-up, and referral sources nobody is nurturing. A few hours' delay on a personal-injury or family-law inquiry is often the whole case lost to the firm that called back first.

The CRMs below are picked for legal intake specifically: fast lead capture and speed-to-lead, conflict-aware contact handling, and follow-up cadences for consultations and referrals — feeding your practice-management system rather than duplicating it.

  • Referral-source tracking so you know which attorneys and clients send work
  • Syncs to Clio / MyCase / PracticePanther instead of replacing matter management

Preguntas frecuentes

  • Do I still need Clio or MyCase if I get a CRM?

    Yes. Practice-management software remains your system of record for matters, time, billing, and trust accounting. The CRM owns the pre-engagement stage — intake, speed-to-lead, and referral nurturing — then hands the signed client off to it.

  • How does a CRM help with conflict checks?

    It can't render an ethics opinion, but it captures opposing-party and related-entity fields at intake and flags potential matches before you open a matter — surfacing the conflict early instead of after the engagement letter is signed.

  • ¿Esto reemplaza mi software específico del sector?

    For client intake and follow-up — not legal practice management (billing, trust accounting, court calendaring).
