## Reviews

### "A wonderful product that offers real functionality for cloud based bankruptcy software." — 5.0/5

> **Ronald** | *08 November 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are all really enjoying using NextChapter. I've uploaded a number of documents that we frequently download and use, including Client Service Agreements, Credit Counseling Instructions, Suggestions of Bankruptcy etc.&#10;&#10;We tried Cincompass about a year ago and hated it.&#10;&#10;We were with BestCase for over 10 years but were frustrated that there was no cloud solution for them.&#10;&#10;Then about 2 or so years ago BestCase announced they had a "cloud solution" which was really a Citrix virtual workstation.&#10;&#10;While Citrix "worked" it just added a whole layer of confusion and required training for my team; plus it did not have 100% uptime.&#10;&#10;Plus, it was very expensive, starting per month and almost per month as I added users. This was on top of the BestCase maintenance agreement, which also grew over the years.&#10;&#10;So NextChapter has been a great improvement for our firm.
> 
> **Cons**: The software has a few growing pains (when compared with BestCase), and you do need to adjust your workflow a bit, but not too much. That's why I give 4 instead of 5 stars for Features \&amp; Functionality, but I expect it will continue to grow and improve.
> 
> Freed me from Windows software and all of the compromises that involves. Gives us the chance to be a 100% Macintosh office after many years of hybrid solutions.

### "NextChapter is Great" — 5.0/5

> **Tami** | *14 January 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the ease of entering information into the software.
> 
> **Cons**: I dislike the treatment of a leased vehicle and the inability to put a monthly vehicle payment into Schedule J without having a vehicle on Schedule B.
> 
> Every time I call into NextChapter my question is answered quickly and the issue resolved.  I have had an awesome experience with NextChapter.

### "Easy to use" — 3.0/5

> **Sarah** | *13 August 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: NextChapter was really easy to get started with and the data entry is simple to use. The texting feature has been a real help with keeping in contact with clients as well. When we've had problems, customer service was quick to help resolve our issues.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest issue that we've had is the amount of time that it's taken get a case filed, but NextChapter has worked towards fixing that and made it easier.
> 
> While there have been bumps in switching software, overall it's been a smooth transition.

### "NextChapter has improved my bankruptcy practice." — 5.0/5

> **David** | *22 April 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is very easy to learn and use.  My paralegal and I love the flow of the interface which make data entry smooth and easy.  The customer service and tech support are super fast, friendly, and helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: I have nothing bad to say about NextChapter.
> 
> As a career BestCase user I was reluctant to switch, but after using NextChapter I wish I had switched sooner.

### "Frequent user" — 5.0/5

> **Nicole** | *06 May 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that I only have to enter the information in one location and it automatically places it whereever else it is relevant in the software.
> 
> **Cons**: The exemptions that we use are not alway correct in the software.  I have to old school it and look up exemptions to ensure I am using the correct one.  However, when I have found an exemption to be incorrect, I have contacted customer service and they have quickly corrected it (:
> 
> It it easy to use and I am abel to move quickly through the program.  I like that I am able to preview and if something is incorrect, with just one click I am able to get to the schedule or statement to make my correction.
