Case Study: Peter Johnson Law Office achieves major efficiency gains with Clio

A Blessing in Disguise That Led Connie to Increased Efficiencies with Clio

Peter Johnson Law Office, a small firm founded in 1973 in Saint-Joseph, Michigan (2–5 staff) handling criminal defence, family, and personal injury matters, began moving off its server-based legacy software in 2022. After choosing a cloud vendor that introduced a major data-loss bug and dismissed their concerns, the team — led by Business Manager Connie Babcock — pivoted to Clio in 2023 to meet their transition deadline.

Clio’s straightforward migration tools and intuitive Manage interface gave the firm a single source of truth, while powerful full-text search and filtering made information easy to find. Clio Draft reduced document review from about 30 minutes to under a minute through templates and automation; Clio Grow digitized intake, eliminating handwritten errors; and Clio Payments sped and simplified collections. The result was faster workflows, lower risk, and a much happier, more efficient team.
