Case Study: Ad Astra Law Group helps clients through hardships while staying profitable with Clio

Helping Clients Through Hardships While Running a Profitable Firm

Ad Astra Law Group is a San Francisco–based business litigation firm founded in 2014 that represents mostly self-paying small and mid-size clients facing high‑cost, stressful disputes. The firm’s challenge was balancing compassion for clients who couldn’t afford large up‑front bills with the practical need to collect fees, maintain cash flow, and run a nimble, responsive practice.

Ad Astra adopted Clio’s cloud platform to centralize records, enter time in real time, accept credit cards, and offer payment plans, while producing clear, detailed bills that tell a client-facing story. The result: faster, more accurate billing and quicker dispute resolution (often paid within an hour after correction), improved cash flow, the ability to help clients who otherwise couldn’t pay, increased client satisfaction and referrals, and greater flexibility for attorneys to work remotely.
