Migrate your Lead Docket data
Legal intake CRM built for law firms that tracks lead sources, automates follow-ups, and routes cases to attorneys—but the API is write-only and automations cost extra.
In its favor
Why people choose Lead Docket
The signal that keeps Lead Docket on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Built specifically for legal intake, not adapted from a horizontal CRM—so lead statuses, case types, and attorney rotation map cleanly to how law firms actually work.
Keeps all incoming leads organized and visible on a single dashboard, with attribution showing exactly where each lead originated for marketing ROI tracking.
Automates follow-up sequences out of the box, reducing manual outreach workload for intake staff at small to mid-sized firms.
Users consistently describe it as easy to set up and navigate, with a short onboarding curve for non-technical intake specialists.
Referral source tracking is native and granular, helping firms understand which channels convert to signed cases versus dropped leads.
Reporting is weak—reviews across G2 and Capterra cite poor reporting accuracy and limited analytics as a persistent pain point for data-driven firms.
The platform's API is severely limited: integrations and external calls can only create new leads, not update existing records, which breaks live sync setups.
Messaging and communication features have reliability issues according to verified reviews, with users reporting dropped texts or notification failures.
The Filevine integration has known quirks—reviewers note minor but recurring issues when syncing lead data to Filevine case files.
Some users report billing surprises, particularly around the paid add-on model for automations, which are not included in base subscriptions.

What gets migrated
Lead Docket object support
Object-by-object support for Lead Docket migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Leads
Fully supportedLeads are the primary object in Lead Docket. We export all standard fields plus any custom properties. The platform supports 11 default lead statuses and allows custom statuses. We map each status label 1:1 into the destination's pipeline stages and preserve the lead's creation and closure dates for reporting continuity.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are separate from Leads and can be imported alongside them. We map contact records with name, phone, email, address, and any associated custom fields. Source attribution on contacts is preserved so marketing ROI data carries over.
Expenses
Mapping requiredExpenses can be imported via the standard import tool. We extract expense records tied to leads and map them into the destination's financial or billing object. Any expense categories not recognized in the destination require manual mapping during scoping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredLead Docket supports user-defined custom fields on Leads and Contacts. We detect all custom field definitions during the discovery scan and map them to equivalent custom fields in the destination, flagging any that lack a direct type match for manual review.
Case Types
Mapping requiredCase Types define the legal matter category for a lead. We preserve the Case Type label and associate it with the lead record. Where the destination uses a different taxonomy for matter categories, we map them by name and note any unmapped types for the customer to resolve.
Automations
Not in this platformAutomations are a paid add-on and are not exposed via API. The automation engine can trigger status changes, send forms, push to Filevine, and send Vinesign templates with a 50-change-per-lead cap to prevent circular loops. We cannot export automations programmatically; they must be manually rebuilt in the destination system after migration.
Roles
Mapping requiredRoles are labels attached to user accounts that correspond to positions in the firm (e.g., Intake Specialist, Attorney, Paralegal). We export role assignments so they can be recreated in the destination. Role-based permissions are not exported.
Attorney Rotation
Mapping requiredAttorney rotation is an optional configuration that distributes incoming leads fairly among attorneys. We document the rotation settings and queue order during discovery so they can be reconfigured in the destination platform's equivalent routing feature.
Marketing Sources
Fully supportedLead Docket tracks the marketing channel or referral source for each lead. We preserve the full source attribution chain including UTM parameters, referral URL, and campaign name where available, mapping these into the destination's lead source fields.
Documents and Templates
Not in this platformDocument templates and custom templates are stored in Lead Docket's template library and are not accessible via the export API. We recommend exporting these manually as a separate step before migration cutoff, then re-uploading to the destination.
Integrations
Mapping requiredLead Docket integrations (including Filevine) can only push new leads into the target system and cannot update existing records. During migration, we flag any active integration connections that need to be reconfigured to point to the new destination, and we warn that two-way sync will not be available without manual re-pairing.
