I was able to get rid of my payment processor and intake management programs and just use Clio, that was a huge advantage. It's also nice to have a program that integrates with the other programs I use.
Clio Payments compared to Lawpay is easier, it's all in one place, I don't have to go through a third party and I don't get extra fees at the end of the invoice.
There’s all kinds of credit cards and each one seems to have its own payment scheme. With Clio, I know exactly how much it’ll be if a client pays by credit card or check. We love the predictability.
