Key benefits of MyCase
The key differentiators that MyCase offers customers include:
Easy to use
MyCase is an easy to use platform that requires little time investment to get it up and running, and can be quickly incorporated as the foundation of office processes.
Provides one secure platform for all communication
One of the primary challenges of a small law firm is that there is often a glaring lack of effective communication between attorneys and their clients. MyCase solves this common hurdle by providing a single platform through which client communications can occur. This makes dialogue between both parties faster, easier, and more organized – ultimately resulting in happier clients.
Mobile access allows more control from anywhere
Through the MyCase app for iPhone, attorneys and clients alike have increased access to their case developments and documents. Secure emails can be sent and received from a mobile device, and notifications come directly to the app so all parties are kept apprised of important alerts and appointments, even when in court.
Friendly to small law firms’ budgets
Small law firms are like any other small business trying to stay afloat financially. MyCase is offered at an incredibly affordable rate per month, so that small practitioners can build a strong organizational foundation for their businesses without busting their budgets.

Pros
I love the timekeeper, the ability to start several timers at once, and the ease with which you can enter narratives for each time entry. Making invoices is super easy as well, and you can even (I just learned this) add your firm's logo to your invoices. The invoices look very professional, and are easy to edit and amend as needed. There is a "no charge" function for time entries you decide to write off for clients. You can also share invoices via the client portal if you'd like. I am just exploring some of the other features of MyCase, such as the task list, the calendar, and using MyCase to keep track of marketing and contacts.
Cons
I'd like to be able to view detailed time entries with narratives before creating an invoice. Maybe this exists? Right now, I create an invoice, print it out, decide what changes I want to make, then go back into the invoice and edit it.
Response from MyCase
Thank you, Bridget, for your thoughtful review. We are happy to hear that you are saving time with MyCase and finding value in new features. Also, you can now run a detailed Case Time & Expense Report and view more details on your Time Entries before creating an invoice. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or additional feedback. We look forward to our continued partnership.

MyCase Legal Case Management Review

MyCase has allowed us to provide more detailed information internally for each case, given our clients more interaction with their case, and communication flows well using the messaging function, payment can be easier (we use the e-check function, which is currently free with the software), and having a central system for the office makes it easier for us to work from multiple locations. There are many features we use, including the MyCase app for our firm, tasks, calendar, notes and checklists for each case, and many others.
Although there are some features that need work to be useful to our firm (reporting, intake forms, and tasks, and some integrations), MyCase overall is well worth it for our small firm.
MyCase is very open and eager to receive feedback from users, and incorporates updates regularly, which improves the system, and have seen my feedback implemented into the system. Customer Service in my experience is excellent, and timely. I highly recommend MyCase.
Pros
Bank grade encryption of data and documents. Ability to give clients access to their own portal, which is very easy to use, and allows them to upload documents directly to the system with drag and drop function. Clients can message securely, have their own calendar for case related events, our firm can task clients with a checklist, and they can pay online. The Client secure access was a major reason we switched to MyCase in 2012.
Cons
I prefer to have more robust reporting functionality as it relates to managing cases by dates, and other case data. The reporting function exists but is not developed enough to capture all the data I prefer in my case management reports. Email integration is not ideal, but I understand a major upgrade is coming soon.
Reasons for Choosing MyCase
Client access, bank grade encryption, ability to save unlimited documents without additional surcharges, and overall cost.Switched From

Client access is one of the best on the market based on what I have checked out. I have considered several other systems, but none have the functionality and ease of use for client access. Cost is straight forward and includes unlimited document uploads.- Industry: Law Practice

THERE IS NO VIDEO PLAYER. So, basically, you have to download what you have already uploaded just to view it. And when doing so, you are sometimes logged off because it takes so long to transmit big files. BUT THERE IS A CAP on how big those files are. As criminal defense counsel, videos are relevant. MyCase has a 5GB cap (no file may be larger) and there is NO BATCH uploading if a file is 1GB or greater. It's literally COSTING ME TIME to use the software. If all you use if PDFs, fine; you'll be mostly okay. But clearly this software was not designed by actual practicing attorneys. And customer service is not responsive to our requests to remove the cap or increase the batch filings or to install a player (like Google Drive does).
Pros
Choose Clio. Very little to like here. Certainly nothing unique.

I have practiced for a long time. When I began I worked for a big firm that valued tracking billing time above all else. This was a good experience. When I started my firm I was always good at keeping track of time. Mycase makes it easier. A lawyer rarely bills all their time. But tracking every minute should be the goal. Integration of docu-sign and ability to keep all data about a case within the software makes for more efficient practice.
Pros
The time recording, case/contact data storage, docusign, billing features are what I started using. I used abacus before cloud based practice mgt software was available. I have used Clio. Mycase is more intuitive than other practice mgt software programs with which I have experience. It is easier to use.
I was slow to use some of the better features like templates. I realized that I could distinguish my firm by completing tasks quicker than average for the industry. Using electronic data forms allows us to obtain relevant data from customer and swiftly prepare the pleadings necessary to initiate case or respond to case and to prepare pleadings for requesting temporary relief orders from the court. We are continuing to explore the use of templates. Our goal is to have the petition or response, the declaration regarding minors, the income and expense declaration, the request for orders all template based.
Having calendar synced is good. Having email synced is great. Ensures all time is considered for billing.
Cons
Slightly more detail on creation of templates from judicial council forms would be helpful. I imagine CA is a big market. CA has court approved forms for civil litigation and family law. Family law is the most form driven area of CA state litigation. Why not pre-load Petition FL-100, Summons FL-110, Response FL-120, Declaration re Minors FL-105, Income and Expense Declaration FL-150, Request for Orders FL-300, Responsive Decl Request for Orders FL-320, Asset and Debt Declarations FL-142 and FL-160 into mycase? If you do you will have a marketing tool for family law attorneys.
