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.

Nick is a fountain of knowledge, tried and tested personally. He has that rare gift of not making you feel daft for asking any question. After our consultation I felt far less like a rabbit in the headlights and far more empowered to climb the marketing mountain successfully.

Having implemented a raft of improvements to our website and marketing campaigns suggested in Nick’s excellent books, I decided to contact the man himself for a one-to-one discussion.

The thirty minutes spent with Nick on that video call provided me with more business improvement tools than I could’ve hoped for. Nick even took the time to give me some insights on client conversion particular to our area of practice.

Online reviews are often brimming with trite phrases and hyperbole, but I cannot find any other way of saying that my only regret is that I didn’t contact Samson Consulting sooner.

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.
