How it works

Up and running in three steps.

  1. Free Checkup

    We take a read-only look at your Clio and show you what is slipping.

  2. Set up around your office

    We build each job the way your team already works. You keep using Clio.

  3. You approve. It runs.

    Every change waits for your yes. When a job earns your trust, let it run on its own.

The Jobs screen in the Firmhorse app: each job, like court orders or billing, is set to ask first, send a daily list, or run on its own.

The app

Review work in one place. On a desk or a phone.

An approval in the Firmhorse app: a court date from a judge's order, with the quote it came from and buttons to approve, decide later, or leave it for the lawyer.
Every change, in plain words. See what will happen and why. Then approve.

FAQ

Questions and answers.

What does Firmhorse do?

Firmhorse runs the routine office work behind your cases. It saves stamped filings to the right case, adds court dates from new orders, keeps Clio records complete, prepares bills, matches payments and tracks new leads through intake. Your staff decide what needs their OK.

Do we have to change our software?

No. Firmhorse works inside the tools you already use, starting with Clio, your email and your calendar. Your team keeps working the way it does today.

Who approves the work?

Your team does. At first, every change waits for a yes from the people you choose. When a job has a strong record, you can let it run on its own, or move it back at any time.

How is our client data protected?

Each firm gets its own private system. Your data is encrypted, stays in the United States, and is never shared with another firm or used to train models. You can export it at any time.

What is the free Checkup?

A read-only look at your Clio account. We show you what is missing or late, like cases without court dates or work that was never billed, and what Firmhorse would take off your plate. It costs nothing.

Which firms is Firmhorse for?

Small law firms on Clio, from solo practices to firms of about 25 people. We started with family law firms in Illinois.
