Who each product is for
MyCase, now styled 8am MyCase, is legal practice management software from 8am (formerly AffiniPay) for solo, small, mid-sized and large firms across many practice areas. It brings case management, documents, billing with payments powered by 8am LawPay, intake, and a client portal together. For firms focused primarily on personal injury, 8am also offers a separate product, 8am CasePeer.
Lumbre is case management built only for personal-injury firms, designed for solo and small teams. It focuses on running PI cases: email and documents filed to the right case with AI-assisted reading your team reviews, a daily priority email for every case owner, and medical specials, liens and settlement tracking built in. It doesn't do time-based billing, online payments, or a client portal.

Switching without a migration project
Moving years of matters is what keeps most firms on software they’ve outgrown. With Lumbre you can start your next new case the same day, without a data migration or an implementation project, and let existing cases finish where they are. Read why Lumbre needs no migration and how to switch case management without migrating.
Choosing between Clio and MyCase?
Clio and MyCase are both broad practice-management platforms used across many practice areas, with billing, online payments, client portals, and large integration ecosystems. Each also has a personal-injury option: Clio through its personal injury add-on for US firms, and 8am through its separate PI product, 8am CasePeer. If those broad platform features are what you need, compare the two directly. If your firm handles personal injury and wants case management shaped entirely around PI work, with no migration project to get started, that is what Lumbre is built for.
