The IntakeQ Alternative for
Ontario Law Firms
IntakeQ handles forms. Atticus handles your entire practice — client intake flows directly into matter management, trust accounting, AI document analysis, and HST billing without switching tools.
The Problem with Standalone Intake Tools
IntakeQ solves one problem: collecting information from clients before their first appointment. But Ontario lawyers need much more than a form tool. After intake, you need to open a file, check for conflicts, set up trust accounting, start tracking time, and eventually generate a retainer letter and invoice. With IntakeQ alone, all of that still requires a separate system. Atticus handles all of it in one platform — intake to billing, with AI document intelligence at every step.
Intake Without Context
IntakeQ collects form data but does not create client files, check conflicts, or open matters. Ontario lawyers end up re-entering data into their actual practice management system.
No Trust Accounting
Every Ontario law firm must maintain trust accounts compliant with LSO By-Law 9. IntakeQ has no accounting features. It cannot manage trust funds, retainer receipts, or monthly reconciliations.
Extra Cost and Complexity
IntakeQ is a subscription on top of your existing software. Atticus includes integrated intake as part of the full platform — no double subscriptions, no data re-entry, no disconnected tools.
