Case Study: Law Office of Damon D. Colbert achieves a responsive, mobile criminal practice and higher billables with Clio

Creating a Responsive Criminal Law Practice

Damon D. Colbert is a solo criminal defense lawyer based in Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia, who left an AM Law 100 firm to build a mobile, responsive practice. He faced the challenge of replacing a clunky on‑premise system with a cloud-based workflow that could handle time-sensitive criminal matters, track out‑of‑office billables, manage trust and operating accounts, and let him stay responsive to clients while balancing family life.

By adopting Clio’s cloud practice‑management platform (including its mobile app, billing and trust accounting features, and LawPay integration), Damon can record time on the fly, streamline invoicing and payments, and centralize case management. The result: faster client response, recovered billable time that was previously lost, reduced need for staff (an estimated $40–50K annual saving), simpler accounting, and a more sustainable work–life balance.
