Buyer's guide
Best CRM for law firms
For a law firm, a missed intake call can be a missed client, so answering and follow-up matter. Here is an honest look at the options, starting with our own and covering well known alternatives.
We make Cadrey, so we list it first and we are upfront about that. The other tools here are real, well known options described in plain, factual terms based on what they are generally known for. We do not list prices or make claims about competitor features, because those change and vary by plan. Check each vendor directly for current details, and pick the tool that fits how you actually work.

Common questions
Why does answering matter so much for law firms?
Prospective clients often call several firms, and the one that answers first frequently wins the matter. Cadrey answers calls, texts, and chat and follows up on intake, so fewer prospects reach voicemail and move on, while the attorney keeps control of what is said and sent.
Does Cadrey replace legal practice management software?
No. Practice management platforms handle matters, billing, and case work. Cadrey focuses on catching and following up on prospective clients and keeping those records current. Firms often want both, one for the practice and one for the front door intake work.
Built on frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Cadrey shows its work, never fakes an answer, and you decide how much it runs on its own.
