Built for law firms workflows
Purpose-built features that understand how you actually work.
Matter intake forms
Collect the information you need before the consultation: legal matter type, relevant dates, opposing party, prior counsel, and urgency. Arrive prepared.
Consultation fee collection
Many attorneys charge for initial consultations to ensure serious client intent. Schedly's Stripe integration collects the fee at booking -- not after.
Multi-attorney scheduling
Manage all attorneys in the firm from one account. Route by practice area, seniority, or availability with granular control.
"I was losing consultations to competitors who had online booking. After setting up Schedly with a paid consultation intake, my booking rate went up and the quality of prospects improved dramatically -- clients who pay upfront are far more serious about retaining counsel."
Why Law Firms Are Adopting Online Scheduling
The legal industry has been slower than most to adopt online self-scheduling, but client expectations have shifted decisively. Today's prospective clients -- especially in consumer-facing practice areas like family law, personal injury, and immigration -- expect to be able to book a consultation the same evening they decide to seek legal help. Firms that still require a phone call during business hours to set up a meeting are losing those prospects to more accessible competitors.
Using Intake Forms to Prepare for Consultations
One of the most underappreciated applications of scheduling software in a law firm context is the intake questionnaire. When configured properly, a booking intake form can collect the legal matter type, relevant timeline of events, opposing party information, previous legal representation history, and urgency level -- all before the attorney opens the consultation file. This transforms the first meeting from data collection to legal strategy, making the consultation more valuable for both the client and the firm.
Managing No-Shows and Late Cancellations in a Law Firm
Attorney time is expensive. A missed 60-minute consultation at $350 per hour represents a significant loss. Automated reminder sequences -- a text and email at 24 hours and another reminder an hour before -- dramatically reduce casual no-shows. For firms with recurring cancellation issues from specific client segments, requiring a consultation fee at booking provides a natural filter: clients who pay to book almost never fail to appear.
