Clio Manage handles contacts, matters, deadlines, flat-fee billing and trust accounting, and Clio's immigration page points form preparation to Clio Draft or to an integration with Docketwise or PrimaFacie. The part to look at closely is the agency forms. Forms software and case management are separate jobs, so a firm on Clio prepares forms in Clio Draft, in its own templates or in a second tool. The more of your caseload that ends in an agency filing, the more that arrangement matters.","url":"https://www.answerstack.io/q/can-a-small-immigration-firm-use-clio-instead-of-specialized-immigration-software","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2026-04-03T14:27:00","dateModified":"2026-10-09T21:44:51.702","author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"AnswerStack","url":"https://www.answerstack.io/contributors/answer-stack"},"citation":[]}}}
