Checklist
What a law firm CRM should handle
- Intake forms: web and phone inquiries land as leads with the facts of the matter attached.
- Conflict checks: search new parties against existing clients before you take the call further.
- Follow-up: reminders, texts and email sequences so a potential client doesn't go to the next firm.
- Marketing source tracking: which ads, referrals and directories actually produce signed cases.
- Hand-off to the matter: a signed client becomes a matter with trust accounting and billing, without retyping.
Common questions
What is the best CRM for a law firm?
For intake inside full practice management, MyCase includes a legal CRM on its Pro plan ($100 per user yearly) and Clio sells Clio Grow with its Elite plan. For intake and marketing automation on its own, Lawmatics and Law Ruler are built for it but quote prices. Lawcus is the lowest published price, $39 per user a month yearly.
How much does legal CRM software cost?
Entry plans run $39 to $59 per user a month on yearly billing. CRM features often cost more: Rocket Matter's CRM add-on is $39 per user a month with a $399 onboarding fee, and CosmoLex's is $147 a month for up to 3 users.
Is Clio a CRM?
Clio Manage is practice management. Clio Grow is its client intake and CRM product, sold as an add-on and included in the Elite plan. Clio publishes only the Starter price, from $49 per user a month.
Do law firms need a separate CRM?
Not always. If your practice management software includes intake and follow-up, one tool may be enough. Firms with heavy lead volume often add an intake CRM. See all 18 CRM examples with prices.
