Legal Case Management Software Reviews: Which Is Best?

Looking For Legal Case Management Software Reviews from fellow solicitors?

I invited solicitors already using case management software to review their experience and below I share my findings with you.

If you sign up to receive this survey, you will also be invited to enter the next survey and to receive the annual survey results.

In my survey of Legal Case Management Software, I asked users to rate their overall experience of the use of the case management software.

Whilst the numbers of the survey are not huge (around 100), I believe there are certain themes which make it valuable, at least providing solicitors with questions to ensure are answered fully by the software provider before proceeding to sign up with them.

The survey results are in alphabetical order, after the overall summary.

Emerson Scotland

Brilliant, insightful and a great discussion. Nick certainly knows his stuff and makes you feel at ease.

Michael Birch

Less than a year ago I asked Nick to help me grow our practice by making the telephone ring.

He’s certainly done that and much more.

The improvements are incredible and Nick has guided me through the many challenges of scaling up, not least the need for a client focused approach.

This has allowed me to start the next phase; organising the practice to ensure a better lifestyle balance for all of us, whilst we continue to grow.

Anthony McCarthy

Nick gives simple and clear advice which makes sense.

In a field full of smoke and mirror merchants he is the real deal.

His book, content and webinars are first class.

Highly recommended.
