    IT WAS KIND OF MEDIOCRE FOR EVERYTHING. IT SYNCED WELL WITH MICROSOFT OFFICE PRODUCTS AND ADOBE ACROBAT.

    Cons

    SO DIFFICULT TO LEARN/USE (I AM PRETTY TECH SAVVY). TERRIBLE REPORTING.

    Overall it gets the job done, providing essential filing services that can be shared across users and permits a variety of important controls.

    Pros

    Many features of this software are useful to the practice of law. It loads documents, tracks clients, tallies hours and more.

    Cons

    However, it is not intuitive and requires significant amount of time to learn the system compared to other software. The interface is also a bit dated, looking like something from Windows XP rather than modern day softward.

    if you have a legal practice... you need to try this software

    Reviewed on 2019/03/25

    Pros

    what I like the most about this software is that it facilitates our teamwork at the office because every document of every case we handle is available to everyone in the office so you don´t need to send them anything, they just need to get use to the software.

    Cons

    At the beggining it was not easy to understand all the features of the software but as everything it was just about time to get used to it.
