Stop losing billable hours between the jail and the courtroom.
Between jail visits, the arraignment calendar, and a hallway plea negotiation, your day happens everywhere except your desk. Lorla captures billable time in one tap - even from your lock screen - and syncs it to Clio.
Works with your existing Clio account.
The problem
The billable time criminal defense lawyers lose
Between the jail, the arraignment calendar, and a hallway plea negotiation, your billable day happens everywhere except your desk. A call from a client in custody, ten minutes on a bond argument, a quick conference before the judge takes the bench - by the time you are back at the office to log it, the details are fuzzy and some of it is gone for good.
Of every 8 hours worked, only about 3 become billable time.
Clio 2025 Legal Trends Report. The work happened - the hours just never made it onto a time entry.
A day in the life
Criminal defense lawyers capturing time on the move.
- 8:15 amCounty jail parking lot
You finish a client visit and tap the lock-screen timer to stop. 35 minutes captured before you start the car.
- 9:40 amCourthouse hallway
A plea offer comes in by phone. One tap to start, one tap to stop - matched to the right matter on your phone.
- 12:30 pmBetween hearings
A bond argument runs long. You capture it the moment you step out, before the next case is called.
- 5:10 pmBack at the office
You review the day's three entries, confirm the matters, and approve. They are in Clio.
How it works
Capture in seconds. Done before you've put your phone down.
Tap once to capture.
Start the timer from the app, your lock screen, or the Dynamic Island - the moment work begins. No unlocking, no digging through menus.
Confirm the matter.
Lorla suggests the right matter from your active Clio cases and shows you why it matched. One tap to confirm.
Approve, and it's in Clio.
Review the entry, approve it, and it syncs straight to your Clio time ledger. Nothing reaches Clio until you say so.
The math
What one recovered hour a week is worth.
Capture just one billable hour a week you would otherwise lose, and the math stops being close. Move the sliders.
Estimate only. Your numbers, your call.
You'd capture about
$1,299
per month in billable time
Lorla costs $49/month.
That's 27x what you'd pay.
Retained, flat-fee, and court-appointed voucher work alike reward capturing every tenth of an hour.
What you get
Built for the way you actually work.
Capture without unlocking
A timer that lives on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Start and stop billable time without opening the app - the moment a call comes in, the second you leave the courtroom.
The right matter, in one tap
Lorla matches your time to the right Clio matter on your device and shows you the reason for the match. You stay in control, and you're never guessing which case it belongs to.
You approve every entry
No entry reaches Clio automatically. You review the matter, the duration, and the details, then approve. Defensible by design - every billable entry is yours, checked by you.
Works offline, syncs later
In a courthouse basement with no signal? Capture anyway. Lorla stores entries on your device and syncs your approved entries to Clio the moment you're back online.

Encrypted on your device

Your data stays yours
Lorla captures and syncs to your Clio account. We don't sell or share your data.
Connects through the Clio API

FAQ
Questions criminal defense lawyers ask, answered.
Can I capture time from the courthouse or jail with no signal?+
Yes. Lorla captures offline and syncs your approved entries to Clio once you are back online - built for a courthouse basement or a jail with no reception.
Does Lorla work for court-appointed and voucher matters?+
Yes. Lorla captures time against any matter in your Clio account, whether it is retained, flat-fee, or court-appointed. You review and approve every entry before it syncs, so your records stay defensible.
Does Lorla record my time on its own, without me starting it?+
No. You start each capture with one tap, and you approve every entry before it syncs to Clio. Lorla does not reconstruct your day for you - you are always in control.
Why pay for Lorla if I already pay for Clio?+
Clio is where your time lives - Lorla makes sure it gets there. Clio's mobile timer is manual-start inside the app; Lorla captures from your lock screen and Dynamic Island in one tap, matches the matter on your device, and syncs on your approval.
Is my client data safe?+
Sensitive fields like client names and matter details are encrypted on your device with AES-256, nothing syncs without your approval, and Lorla connects through the Clio API (v4).
