How we talk about SmartAdvocate
SmartIntelligence is built-in: case chat, summaries, medical chronology, demand generation, deadline and insurance extraction, document classification, a settlement-value assistant, and more. Medical chronologies hyperlink to record content. Chat-with-case citation behavior is not stated, so we mark citations partial — not a dash.
They have a client portal, iPhone and Android apps, texting, e-signature, SAML SSO, WorkPlans, and PI modules for records, negotiation, and calendared SOL dates. Their in-house migration team lists Filevine, CASEpeer, Clio, and MyCase as sources. We will not claim faster migration.
Documented 2FA is email or text. We found no FIDO2 or passkey. “SOC 2 compliance” appears on a marketing article with no scope, auditor, or report; the KB points at the hosting provider’s SOC reports. We show that as claimed, not as a check and not as a fail.
Trust-and-payment management was announced for transactional cases (November 2025); whether a full accounting module shipped is unverified. Bank-statement three-way is unverified. Public per-seat pricing, required FIDO2, and URCP 6 on the Utah file are the contrasts we will stand behind.
