How the money works

Five fee models, five different ways to lose money.

Practice area is mostly a billing question. What you do all day changes how you get paid, and how you get paid decides which part of the job costs you without ever showing up on an invoice.

Personal injury: Contingency. Nothing bills for two years, and then every cost, lien and reduction has to reconcile in a single afternoon, against a trust ledger the bar can audit.
Criminal defense: Flat fee, high volume. The bill that hurts is your software’s, the moment it starts charging per matter or per client on a practice running 300 open files.
Family law: Evergreen retainer. You work for free from the day the balance drops through its floor to the day somebody notices.
Immigration: Flat fee, high volume, government deadlines. The file you cannot find in under a minute is the one the client is on the phone about.
Insurance defense: Hourly, billed to a carrier rather than a client. The carrier rejects the invoice over a task code and pays you sixty days late.

Common ground

What does not change, whatever you practice.

One matter record: Documents, time, costs, contacts, deadlines and the trust ledger sit on the case rather than in four systems that disagree.
IOLTA trust accounting: Client ledgers, three-way reconciliation and bar-ready reporting are in the base plan. Read how the trust ledger works.
One price: $49 per user per month with the whole feature set in it. Volume pricing applies above 25 seats and the features never change.
Free migration: MyCase imports directly and Clio is next. Anything else we map by hand, and we do not charge for it either way.
Built for both ends: One solo attorney up to a 1,000+ user multi-state firm, on the same platform.
US-hosted: Data stays in the United States end to end. SOC 2 Type II, and a HIPAA BAA when your work needs one.

Practice not on the list? CaseFuze is not practice-specific software, and these five are where the differences bite hardest. An estate planning, employment or general civil practice runs on the same matter record, the same trust ledger and the same billing engine. See the full feature set.

Questions

Practice areas, answered.

Is CaseFuze only for these five practice areas?

No. Nothing in the platform is locked to a practice type. These five have the sharpest differences in how money moves, so they get their own pages. Every other practice runs on the same matter record, trust accounting and billing.

Does a practice-specific setup cost more?

No. There is one plan at $49 per user per month with everything in it. Volume pricing applies above 25 seats, and the feature set is identical at every size.

Can one firm run several practice areas at once?

Yes. The fee arrangement is set on the matter, not on the firm, so a practice doing criminal defense on flat fees and family law on evergreen retainers runs both out of one system.

Does CaseFuze calculate court deadlines for my jurisdiction?

No, and be careful with anyone who says they do. CaseFuze gives you a date calculator: count a filing date, statute or completion date in calendar or business days, save it to the matter, and the reminders warn the whole team rather than one attorney. It does not hold a jurisdiction rules database.

I am switching from another system. What happens to my open matters?

They come with you. MyCase imports directly, Clio is next, and anything else we map by hand, including matters, contacts, documents and trust balances. Migration is free. There is a guide to switching if you want the detail first.

One plan, whatever you practice.

$49 per user per month, everything included.
