Case Study: Hemmat Law & Consulting achieves $200K+/month revenue, 4.9× faster payments, and launches a consulting arm with Clio

How the Hemmat Law Group, tripled their revenue, gets paid 4.9× faster, and opened a consulting group with Clio

Hemmat Law & Consulting, a Seattle-based family and probate firm founded in 1994 and now a 6–10 person team, grew out of a decades-long solo practice led by Steven Amir Hemmat. After hiring COO John Avi Socha and expanding post-2019, the firm faced paper-based workflows, limited performance visibility, slow collections (about 70% on a good month) and long payment lockup periods, so in 2021 they sought a cloud solution to scale intake, operations, and billing.

By adopting Clio Grow, Clio Manage, and Clio Payments to centralize matters, automate intake, and streamline payments, the firm rapidly improved efficiency and financial performance: monthly revenue climbed from $30–$40k (2021) to $200k+ (2024), utilization rose ~10% per year, collections jumped to ~95%, and they get paid 4.9× faster (lockup down to ~12 days). The team went paperless and remote, boosted client ratings from ~2.9 to ~4.9, expanded staff, and launched Hemmat Consulting to help other firms adopt the Clio ecosystem.
