Client portal software for lawyers and their clients

Give clients a private, secure place to work with your firm, on any device.

Keep messages on record

Clients message their lawyer or others at the firm, with conversations saved to the matter.

Share documents both ways

Send files to clients, and let them upload from their camera roll or apps like Mail and Dropbox.

Show clients where their case stands

Post status updates, next steps, appointments, and court dates for clients to check anytime.

Make it easier to get paid

Let clients pay their bills online by credit card or debit card.

The one thing I love most about the Client Portal is the security feature. In the family law world and supporting clients going through a divorce, security is crucial. Oftentimes, married couples know each other’s passwords or even have open access to their spouse’s communications. With the Client Portal we can bring peace of mind to our clients knowing communications are secure!
