Criminal defense case management software that runs 300 open files without eating your margins.
Criminal defense runs on flat fees and volume, not on six-figure settlements, and legal software is priced as though it does not know that. CaseFuze is one plan at $49 per user with nothing held back for a higher tier.
You are billing $2,500 flat and being sold $89-a-seat software.
Most practice management vendors put trust accounting, document assembly, and reporting behind separate tiers, so the tools that keep you compliant cost extra on top of a seat price built for firms billing by the hour. CaseFuze charges $49 per user for all of it.
- One price, everything in it. Trust accounting, documents, billing, calendaring, and the AI agent are in the $49 plan. There is no tier above this one.
- No per-matter or per-client fees. Run 300 open files without the bill moving. Volume practices get punished by usage pricing, so there is none.
- Free migration off what you have. We move your matters, contacts, documents, and trust balances, and we do not charge to do it.
What the firm pays
All includedFlat fee drawdown
Unearned in trustThe fee is not yours the day it clears.
A flat fee paid up front is unearned when you take it. In most jurisdictions that means it belongs in trust and comes out as you do the work, and a lawyer who banks the whole thing on day one and withdraws before trial has a problem that has nothing to do with the quality of the defense. CaseFuze holds the fee against the matter and moves it to operating in the amounts you have actually earned.
- Define what earns what. Set the stages in your fee agreement, and each one releases its portion when you mark it done.
- Refunds are already calculated. A client who leaves after the preliminary hearing gets the unearned balance back, and the ledger shows how you arrived at the figure.
- Every movement is recorded. Each transfer from trust to operating carries its date, amount, and reason, which is the record you want if the fee is ever questioned.
The person who built this defends criminal cases for a living.
CaseFuze exists because running a criminal defense practice meant fighting the software as well as the case: flat fees that had to come out of trust in the right amounts, court dates across three departments, and discovery arriving as video. Everything on this page was built for that practice first, then for everyone else's. Meet the team →
Built for volume, priced for it too.
Two hundred open files, court dates across three courthouses, and discovery that arrives as video.
Court dates across every file
One calendar covering every appearance, with the matter, courthouse, and department attached. Filter by day and you have your morning.
Discovery that arrives as video
Body cam, dash cam, and interview footage store against the matter with the rest of the file, so the evidence is not living on a hard drive in a drawer.
Warrant and pre-charge search
Check whether a warrant is outstanding before the client walks into a courthouse, and search pre-charge status when somebody calls to ask whether they have been charged yet. It is the first question on half your intake calls.
Statute search
Pull the statute and its elements without leaving the matter, so checking what the prosecution actually has to prove does not mean a second subscription and a third tab.
Motions from templates
Assemble a suppression motion from a template that pulls the client name, case number, and court from the matter instead of a find-and-replace pass.
Trust accounting included
Three-way reconciliation against live bank feeds, per-client ledgers, and overdraft prevention. In the $49 plan, not a compliance upsell.
Client intake at the volume you take it
Criminal defense intake moves fast. Capture the charge, the court, the next date, and the fee quote on the first call. Run the conflict check. Open the file without retyping it.
The file on your phone
Pull up the charge, the next date, and the fee balance from the hallway outside Department 12, which is where you usually need it.
Payment plans that collect
Most clients cannot pay a flat fee in one go. Set a schedule, save the method, and let CaseFuze charge it without anybody chasing.
An AI agent on the file
Ask what the discovery says about the traffic stop, or draft the client letter. Every model it uses retains nothing.
What the practice actually earns
Fee per matter type, collection rate, and which referral sources send the cases that pay. Volume practice lives or dies on this.
One plan. No tier above it.
Legal software pricing assumes you bill by the hour at rates a criminal practice does not charge. Vendors then split the product into tiers so trust accounting, document assembly, or reporting cost extra, which means the compliance tools sit behind the paywall. CaseFuze is $49 per user per month with everything switched on.
- No per-matter pricing. Open three hundred files this year. The bill is the same.
- No setup fee, no minimum. Payment processing is in the subscription rather than sold as a bolt-on with its own monthly charge.
- Migration is free. Matters, contacts, documents, and trust balances move across at no cost, which is usually the reason firms stay somewhere they have outgrown.
