Online booking software for lawyers and law firms
tilkbook lets law firms run intake consultations on a public booking page — with conflict-check questions, document-collection, and a paid-consultation option built into the flow.
Why lawyers owners switch to tilkbook
-
Free consultations clog the calendar
Without a payment step, free-consultation slots fill with tire-kickers. Charging $50-$150 upfront filters intent without scaring qualified leads.
-
Conflict checks happen too late
Discovering a conflict after the call is wasted time on both sides. Pre-booking intake catches most conflicts before the slot is held.
-
Document collection is a back-and-forth email thread
Marriage certificates, accident reports, lease agreements — clients forget what to bring. A booking form with required uploads solves this.
What features matter for lawyers?
-
Conflict-check intake
Custom questions on opposing-party names run against your conflict list before the booking confirms.
-
Paid consultations via Stripe
Charge a flat fee or refundable deposit at booking. Booking only confirms once payment clears.
-
Required document upload
Per-practice-area document checklists (immigration, family law, personal injury). Clients can't finalize the booking until required files are attached.
Stub. Writers expand per /seo/2026-05-18-booking-competitor-playbook.md §4.1 with screenshots of the conflict-check intake and a real customer quote from a partner firm.
Required FAQs: paid-consultation flow, conflict-check workflow, Clio/PracticePanther integration boundary, refund/cancellation policy, data-retention defaults.
Frequently asked questions
-
Can tilkbook handle a paid consultation?
- Yes. Connect Stripe and set a per-service consultation fee. The slot only confirms once the charge succeeds, and you can configure full-refund, no-refund, or partial-refund cancellation windows.
-
How do I run a conflict check before the appointment?
- Add a "names of opposing parties" question to the intake form and tilkbook will route bookings with flagged names to manual review before confirming.
-
Is tilkbook a substitute for case-management software like Clio?
- No. tilkbook handles the booking + intake step. The matter itself stays in Clio (or PracticePanther / MyCase). tilkbook integrates with Clio's contact and calendar APIs.
