Biggest Challenge They Were Looking to Solve:

How Clio Solved It:

When starting Silver Immigration in 2019, Founder Matthew Silver had an opportunity. He had the vision for a immigration practice, which would mean juggling work for multiple high-stakes cases that would have an immense impact on the lives of his clients and their families.

With the clean slate of a new practice, he could set his firm up the right way—right from the start.

Five years in, the firm has grown from just Matthew to a team of three lawyers and two paralegals. Along the way, the team has used Clio to work effectively, stay flexible, and offer a smooth client experience.

“We’ve enjoyed using Clio because it’s allowed us to do things properly the first time around.”

How Clio Helped

Top 3 Ways Manage and Grow have Positively Impacted their Workflows

The lead cycle for new clients is seamless

“Clio Grow allows us to capture our leads quickly and reach out to them quickly.”

“We’ll get a lead through Clio Grow, book a 15-minute consult, and then we’ll move that lead from Clio Grow to Clio Manage. Once the lead is in Clio Manage, we assign an attorney and there’s a seamless connection. The ability to convert to Clio Manage with the click of a button allows us to filter new customers into Clio Manage and get working on a client’s case.”

“Intake needs to be efficient, especially if you have a website that’s doing well, that’s generating leads. The last thing you want to do is generate great leads and not service them.”

The Outlook Add-in keeps emails and matters connected

“The Outlook Add-in is one of my favorite features. The fact that we backup all of our emails into Clio Manage is huge. It means that we have all of the communications from the client. It allows us to see where the status of the file is, and gives you an entire history of the matter.”

Templates save time and provide a more convenient client experience

“With immigration law, there is so much paperwork that needs to be done, and so many standardized forms that need to be filled out. If we had to call our clients for every question on every form, it would take probably four hours to complete one form.”

“The templates allow us to send clients a link, and for them to answer at their own pace. The templates allow us to provide our clients with flexibility, while we get the information we need.”

Other Benefits of Clio

Clio makes it easy to keep data consolidated and organized so the firm can stay adaptable

“Consolidated and organized data are crucial.”

“Somebody one day will unexpectedly not be able to show up to work—that’s just the nature of work. Clio Manage allows us to pick up at the drop of a hat and pivot where needed. When unexpected situations arise, Clio allows us to adjust very quickly.”

Onboarding new employees is simple and straightforward

“Clio helps us save time with onboarding new employees. We’ve got a game plan to onboard new employees, to look at previous old files, case matters and subjects. We find the data is very well organized in Clio Manage with the matters, note section, and custom fields. So training and onboarding new employees has been pretty seamless for our business.”

Task lists make it easy to stay organized and avoid missing deadlines

“Task lists have always been a helpful feature within Clio Manage.. For the most part, people are working on multiple files and cases at a time, having a task list for specific practice areas lowers the stress level.”

“Software should limit stress or save time, and Clio does a bit of both.”

Clio integrates seamlessly with the firm’s accounting software

“Clio ties into our accounting software so well, and that saves us a lot of time.”

“The connection from our accounting software, Xero, to Clio Manage has been absolutely amazing. It makes the operational procedures very clear and efficient. No one is wasting time and no one is guessing.”

What’s next

At Silver Immigration, there’s an “all hands on deck” culture where they work hard to do everything that needs to be done to make sure work is getting done and clients are happy—and Clio is a key part of that.

“Everyone is excited to pull the rope in whichever way they have to that particular day. It’s a pretty cool thing to be part of.”
