MyCase Client Portal Overview [w/ VIDEO]

The Client Portal is a secure environment for you to share case information, billing information, & communicate with clients & contacts.

Updated over a week ago

The MyCase Client Portal is a secure platform where you can share case details, billing information, and communicate with clients and contacts. Unlike using multiple communication channels such as email, phone, text message, and traditional mail, the MyCase Client Portal provides a centralized platform for your clients to communicate with you and your firm. This allows for better organization and ensures that all information is kept in one place.

Client Dashboard

The Client Dashboard is what your clients see when they login to their MyCase account.

  1. Top Navigation Tabs include Home, Inbox, Documents, Events, and Billing. Clients can click on each tab to see information.

  2. My Account allows them to manage settings, including their Profile and Preferences.

  3. The Send Message button lets clients send secure messages through the portal.

  4. If they are linked to a case, they can Add a Document to share with your firm. Your firm is notified when clients upload new documents.

  5. Clients can view invoices and pay (if your firm has Online Payments turned on) by clicking View Bills.

  6. What's New alerts clients to new information, such as calendar events, invoices, documents, or messages. Anytime a new item is shared with the client, it will appear here.

  7. Upcoming Events appear on the home dashboard.

  8. Recent Activity gives updates on the client's case. It's important to remember that clients will only see recent activity for activities shared with them. If you upload a document to their case file but don't share it with them, they won't see the new document appear in the Recent Activity stream.
