What is Lawyaw?
Lawyaw is a document assembly tool designed to help law firms create smart templates. It has a user-friendly web-based platform, and comes with an MS Word add-in that connects directly to Lawyaw online. It is somewhat unique in the marketplace as a low-code application that retains most of MS Word’s conditional formatting functionality. Our Lawyaw review finds a reasonably priced platform that balances complexity and usability.

What garbage this add on to the CLIO family is. You must be a level three computer whiz to even understand how to do it. I LOVE CLIO but this add on is a goose egg. Customer service is awful and if you cancel when you pay in advance THERE IS NO REFUND. The only redeeming quality is it did work seamlessly with CLIO, but other than that, steer clear.
I had HOTDOCS for years and although expensive, I think I’m going back to them. At least I wont have to get a degree in computer engineering to use the product.
Why Lawyaw doesn't work for me
I like the interface with Lawyaw but the software does not have a calculation function. It does not add the sums in a summary of account (GC-400) or in an inventory or appraisal. Also numbers do not necessarily align by decimal point. Also, you cannot adjust where, say, a phone number will appear in a document, so that the preprinted parentheses obscure phone numbers. I have also noted various missing forms and errors in forms.
The client contact is good with things they can fix, but they have not fixed and have expressed no interest in the calculation and numbers issue. So much of my work requires accurate calculations that ultimately Lawyaw is no longer working for me.
Good forms but Clio integration is clunky
I used LawYaw for court forms for a while. The one thing I found very difficult was that the Clio integration took hours to sync, making it pretty much unusable. Otherwise, a pretty good solution for the court forms they do have.
Lawyaw is Awesome!
We’ve been using Lawyaw for several years. The Lawyaw team is very responsive to requests and willing to adapt their software for users. We enjoy using all of the features (esign, forms, templates, etc.) and the price makes it a great deal for any small or solo attorney. I highly recommend adding Lawyaw to your tech stack at your firm.
