Lawmatics
Legal CRM that scores leads and books consults before the matter hits a CMS.
San Diego, California · Founded 2017 · Lawmatics, Inc.
- What it does
- Lawmatics is the legal CRM in front of a case management system. It is not the matter file of record and not a research citator. Forms, booking, file requests, document automation, e-signature, and conflict checking sit on a pipeline with custom fields, SMS, and a client portal. On conversion the vendor syncs the matter into Clio, Filevine, MyCase, Smokeball, or another named case system. It does not replace that system. Essential includes intake, a 500-contact cap, and 10 automations. Premium adds marketing automation, source ROI, and advanced conflict checking, with a 10,000-contact cap. Time tracking, invoicing, and online payments are an add-on. Merlin, a separate layer on OpenAI models, scores leads, collects missing facts by text or email, and can book a consult. The vendor states firm data is not used to train those models. Qualify does not open uploaded files. Engage does not give legal advice or send a declination. Copilot is not a stand-in for matter-level ethical walls.
- Fit
- Consumer-facing firms in personal injury, family, immigration, estate planning, bankruptcy, or criminal defense that already spend on ads or referrals and already keep the file in Clio, Filevine, MyCase, Smokeball, or a similar case system. Premium is the tier with marketing automation, source ROI, and advanced conflict checking. Merlin fits firms that will still review scores and can hold outbound messages for a person to approve.
- Not a fit
- In-house teams and firms with no inbound lead pipeline. It is not the system of record: a signed lead syncs out to a case system rather than living there. Essential is the wrong tier if you need email drips or marketing ROI. Contacts above the published cap are sold separately. Published Essential and Premium tiers list a three-user minimum, so a true solo should confirm before a demo. Merlin Qualify does not read uploaded records. Merlin Engage does not estimate case value, give legal advice, or send a declination, and it does not announce that it is AI before the first message. Firms that need an up-front written disclosure should check with counsel. Copilot search behaves like firm-wide reporting, not an ethical wall. Time and billing is an add-on. There is no public CRM price.
