CasekeepLegal practice system

Not another Clio. Your firm’s own system.

Matters, time, billing, trust accounting and deadlines in one system, built for small firms. Pay once and it’s yours for life, with no subscription and no fee for each person you hire. It runs behind your firm’s own website, on your own accounts, so your data stays with you.

Made to fit. We change any screen, field, step or report to match how your firm works.

Why own it

Rented software charges every seat, every month.

  1. 01

    The bill grows with the firm

    Every new associate or paralegal adds another monthly seat, and the vendor sets next year’s price.

  2. 02

    Your records live on their servers

    Stop paying and you are left with an export and a migration.

  3. 03

    You pay for the whole catalog

    Plans bundle features a small firm never opens, and the one you need sits a tier higher.

  • Export any report to CSV, or print it

Client portal

  • Clients sign in to see their matters, invoices and shared documents, and message you

Where your documents live

Files stay where you already keep them: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or your own server. Each document in the system links to its file and sits on its matter.

We can add

A connection to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or any file tool with an API, so files open straight from each matter.

Taking payments

You create, send and track invoices and record every payment, but the system does not charge cards itself. Put your LawPay or Stripe payment link on your invoices.

We can add

A LawPay connection so clients pay online and each payment records itself in the system.

Trust accounting is kept by hand

The system records deposits and payments from trust but never moves money. You reconcile it against your bank statement under your state bar's rules. It is a record keeping tool, not legal or accounting advice.

We can add

A LawPay setup so retainers are paid online straight into your trust account.

Security

Built for confidential work, secure at every step.

Access enforced by the database

  • Four roles and matter level permissions, checked by the database itself, not only hidden on screen
  • Permissions for every staff member, set one by one: billing, reports, every matter or only their own, new matters and operating costs

Records that cannot be quietly changed

  • Trust entries are never edited or deleted; a mistake is fixed with a reversing entry
  • Every change is logged: who made it, when, and what it was before

Clients see only their own, and less is stored

  • The client portal shows each client their own invoices, documents and messages, nothing else
  • No document storage and no card processing built in, so client files and card numbers never sit in the system
  • Secure sign in, with your data on accounts you control, or on our hosting if you choose it

Protected, reviewed code

  • Shipped protected, with a signed license key that catches a changed copy
  • Security headers included for Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages and Apache hosts
  • This version passed a full security review of the app and the database rules

License check
The license to use Casekeep ends if the purchase is refunded, reversed or charged back, and the copy then stops working. The system checks its license automatically in the background once a day.

Refunds
All sales are final, so try the full demo first. The one exception: if something is broken and we can’t fix it or replace it, we refund you.
Questions

Questions before you buy.

Is there a Clio alternative without a monthly fee?

Yes. Casekeep is a lifetime license with one payment and no subscription: $499 with one seat, and $99 for each extra seat, a firm of 10 to 20 people pays $1,390 in total, and a firm of more than 20 contacts us for its price. If you host it yourself on your own accounts, you pay those providers directly (the database runs on Supabase, which has a free plan to start). If you would rather we host it, that is an optional $29 a month, which comes with our $79 setup.

Can I turn it into an app on my phone?

Yes. Turn it into an app on your iPhone or Android phone: it sits on your home screen with its own icon, with nothing to download from an app store. Open your Casekeep address on your phone and add it to your home screen. With My firm, shared, every phone and computer shows the same matters, time and invoices.

Can I host it myself?

Yes. Who hosts it is your choice. Host it yourself and you get the complete system and a setup guide: run it on one computer with no setup, as a shared system for your firm on your own free Supabase database (about 15 minutes), or on your own server. The files can go on any static host, such as Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages. Or choose our hosting at checkout and we run it for you.

Is my client data safe?

When you run it yourself, your data sits in your own database account, not ours, so we never hold your client files. When we host it, we run the system and its database for you with SSL and backups, and you can export everything any time. Either way, the shared setup uses sign-in, four roles, matter level permissions enforced by the database, and an audit log. You control who has access. On your own hosting, backups come from your database provider (Supabase backs up daily on its paid plans). No system on the internet can be promised to be completely secure, and you remain responsible for your own professional and regulatory requirements.

How many users?

The price includes one seat, meaning one person who signs in. Each extra seat is $99, paid once. A three person firm pays $499 plus two seats, $697 in total. A firm of 10 to 20 people pays $1,390 in total. More than 20 people? Contact us and we set up your firm. When you click Buy, choose how many people will sign in and the extra seats are added before you pay.

Can you customize it for my firm?

Yes, it is fully customizable through our Customize service. The code is delivered protected, so changes come from us. We tailor it for an added charge: your own fields and screens, the way your firm runs intake or billing, your branding, or connections like Stripe, LawPay, QuickBooks, Outlook and Google Drive. We quote the work before we start, and it is not included in the purchase price. We can change it any time, even months after you buy, and this is separate from upgrading to a new version. For ongoing changes, Care Plus and Care Max include up to 2 or 5 hours of work a month.

Can we bring our data over from Clio or another system?

The system imports clients, contacts, matters and time entries from CSV files, which most practice software can export. You match the columns, check a preview, then import. Rows with problems are skipped and listed, and rows already in the system are not imported again. You can also export your clients, contacts and matters to CSV at any time, so your data is never locked in. Want us to do it? Our Move-In package, priced by firm size and quoted first, installs the system, imports your clients and matters with a written count check that every record arrived, trains your team in one live session and hands it over. Your current system keeps running until you switch.

What does hosting include, and who owns the data?

For $29 a month we run the system and its database for you, with SSL and backups. Hosting comes with our $79 setup, so we put it online for you. Your firm owns its data, and you can export it any time. If you later want to run it yourself, we send you a full export to move to your own accounts.

What happens to our data if we cancel hosting?

Export your data any time before your plan ends. For 30 days after it ends, ask us and we send you a full export. Then we delete it, and deleted data cannot be recovered. Lawyers usually must keep trust account records for several years, so export your trust ledgers and reconciliations before the plan ends.

Can we have Care on our own hosting?

Yes, as long as the system runs on Vercel, Supabase and GitHub, so we can service it. If yours runs somewhere else, we help you move it over first, quoted before we start.

How do new versions work?

New versions come out as we improve the system, and each one is numbered automatically. Your copy stays on the version you buy and keeps working as it is, so you never have to upgrade. To move to the latest version, come to us: $29 with instructions to install it yourself, or $79 and we install it for you. With a Care plan, new versions are included and we install them.

Who at TheWebSuite can see our data?

If you host it yourself, we cannot see it: we only see what you share when you ask for help with setup or Care. If we host it, our team can reach the database to keep it running, and looks at your data only when that is needed or when you ask for help. We keep client information confidential.

Every system we build is a Keep.

What could your firm stop paying for?

You start with the base system, and it grows with your firm. Whenever you need something new, a screen, a report or a connection to another tool, we add it.
