The SmartAdvocate Client Portal is a website that permits your firm you to collaborate with your clients without requiring direct interaction with your staff. You can make documents, notes, and other information from SmartAdvocate available to clients, while clients can also law firm. You can upload information directly into their SmartAdvocate case file.

No information from SmartAdvocate is automatically made available on the Client Portal; specific action is required by your or a staff member (for example, clicking on a checkbox marked "Share in Client Portal") in order for anything to be shared. (The only exceptions are appointments in which the client is a participant; these will automatically be visible to the client on the Portal.) Access to the Client Portal, what information is available, and how it appears, are governed by the Client Portal Administration page.

The Client Portal is an additional feature available to all SmartAdvocate clients, for more information on getting your Client Portal set up for your firm please reach out to your salesperson or support@smartadvocate.assist.comthe case file, view calendar activities, send messages, and edit personal information.
