SmartFront
For Law Firms

Your firm’s AI front desk.
Flat pricing. No per-seat math.

SmartFront gives your law firm a 24/7 AI front desk, online client intake, branded storefront, and Stripe payment collection — for $108/month flat. Clio charges that per attorney.

Sound familiar?

Legal software was built for billing. Not for winning clients.

  • A potential client calls at 7pm and hits voicemail — they call the next firm on their list and that firm gets the case.
  • You're paying $447/month just so three attorneys can access client intake features that should be standard.
  • Your Clio bill grew by $300/month this year because you hired two new people — and you didn't get anything new for the money.
  • New clients still email you PDFs of their signed retainer agreements because your intake process is manual.
What SmartFront does

Built for the way attorneys actually win clients.

AI front desk answers after-hours client inquiries

A potential client calls at 9pm after a car accident. They won't leave a voicemail — they'll call the next firm. SmartFront's AI answers, qualifies the inquiry, and books the consultation before they hang up. You bill hourly; every missed lead is unbillable time you never recover.

24/7 online consultation booking

Potential clients book consultations on your schedule, around the clock. No phone tag, no receptionist required. Your calendar fills while you're in court.

Client intake built into the booking flow

Capture the matter type, facts, and contact details before the consultation. Your attorney walks in knowing the case — not scrambling for context during a paid hour.

Retainer collection via Stripe

Send the retainer agreement and payment link from your dashboard. Client pays online before the first meeting. No chasing checks — funds clear before the engagement starts.

Branded firm storefront at your domain

Your firm's page at yourfirm.law.smartfront.ai or your own domain. Practice areas, attorney bios, intake form, and booking — all in one client-facing experience that looks like you built it custom.

Flat pricing that doesn't penalize you for hiring

Clio charges $89–$149 per attorney per month. Add a paralegal, add another $89–$149. SmartFront is $108/month flat. Hire your next associate — the price doesn't change.

Automated follow-ups for unbooked leads

A potential client fills out your intake form but doesn't book. SmartFront follows up automatically with a booking link. You recover leads that would have gone cold — without touching a CRM.

After-hours coverage

The lead that calls at 9pm goes to whoever answers.

No legal practice management platform — including Clio at any tier — offers a 24/7 AI front desk. SmartFront does. Your AI answers after hours, qualifies the inquiry, captures the matter details, and books the consultation. The competing firm that doesn’t answer loses the case.

“We were losing 30% of our after-hours leads to voicemail. SmartFront answers, qualifies, and books — now those leads are consultations.”

Pricing

$108/month. Your whole firm. No per-seat math.

Clio charges $89–$149 per attorney per month. A 3-attorney firm on Clio Complete pays $447/month just to get client intake and AI. SmartFront is $108/month flat — AI front desk, booking, intake, storefront, and Stripe payments for every attorney and staff member.

Law firms use the Scale plan ($79/mo) for multi-attorney features plus the AI agent add-on ($29/mo) — $108/mo all-in. The pricing page shows individual plan tiers; your firm uses both.

Moving from your current software takes less than a day.

Coming from Clio?

Clio has no public migration API, so setup is manual — but fast. Tell us your practice areas, team, and availability and your booking page and AI front desk go live same day. Most firms are fully transitioned in under a week. No data loss, no downtime.

Starting a new practice?

You don’t need to migrate from anything. Set up your practice areas, consultation types, and availability — your booking page and AI front desk are live the same day. Start with the right infrastructure instead of outgrowing a spreadsheet or cobbled-together tools later.

SmartFront's AI answers the call, asks qualifying questions based on your practice areas, captures the caller's contact information and matter details, and books a consultation on your calendar — all without attorney involvement. After-hours, weekend, and holiday calls all get the same response.
Can I collect retainers online?
Yes. Stripe payment collection is built into SmartFront. Send a retainer invoice from your dashboard — the client pays by card before the engagement starts. No chasing checks.
