Case Study: Guest & Gray achieves a mobile, secure, paperless criminal-defense practice with Clio

How Criminal Defense Attorney Robert Guest Delivers Justice from a Smartphone With Clio

Guest & Gray Criminal Defense Lawyers is a six-attorney Dallas firm led by managing partner Robert Guest, who faced the challenge of moving away from paper-based workflows while managing a couple hundred active matters, maintaining client confidentiality, and avoiding missed deadlines that can lead to malpractice. The firm needed a way to stay organized, collaborate remotely, and give attorneys the flexibility to work from court, home, or anywhere without losing oversight.

By centering a simple tech stack around Clio and smartphone integrations, Robert and his team handle onboarding, case management, billing, payments, and team collaboration entirely on mobile. The result: the firm operates as a virtual practice (Robert works from home about 80% of the time and often goes to court with only his phone), fewer missed matters, stronger data security, improved productivity, and scalable service delivery for clients and staff.
