Frequently Asked Questions

Does Attorney Core make my firm IOLTA compliant?

No software can guarantee compliance. Attorney Core keeps individual client trust ledgers, blocks withdrawals that exceed a client balance, and provides a reconciliation worksheet and audit history that support the firm's own review. The firm remains responsible for its jurisdiction's trust-account rules.

How does Attorney Core differ from CosmoLex?

Attorney Core provides a significantly more modern UI, integrated lead intake CRM, client portal communication, and native AI drafting tools alongside comprehensive billing.

Can Attorney Core support a small law firm without an IT team?

Yes. Attorney Core is designed for small U.S. firms that need practical setup, guided onboarding, license-based access, and workflows that do not require a dedicated IT department.
