## Reviews

### "Innovative user-interface for legal research" — 5.0/5

> **Armin** | *8 May 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nice looking and easy-to-use user interface, extensive databases of legal decisions, nice filters to narrow them, and properly named files when we download.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish the alerts for new case filings could come faster.  At the moment I use Dinger Alerts, which appear to be among the fastest in the industry.
> 
> Generally positive experience.

### "Avid users of the api to find legal data about individuals" — 4.0/5

> **Idan** | *17 May 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The extensive coverage and querying options, the access via api.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. More county courts coverage - especially NY and Massachusetts&#10;2. The ability to filter by dates in the api query - in both pacer and docket alarm.&#10;3. More details in the initial query, so I don't have to get the full case just to find it's not about the person I was looking for. Mainly in Docket Alarm end point.
> 
> It helps us extend our legal coverage and provides a very useful api access.

> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and there are a broad range of cases available

### "Docket Alarm - Great for Research" — 4.0/5

> **Scott** | *7 May 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Docket Alarm has provided good coverage of federal cases. It's limited state coverage has proven  to be good where available. The feature I like most is the expanded search ability which allows you to narrow down cases or find the exact documents you are looking for with ease. It is a time saver when searching for specific types of cases.
> 
> **Cons**: There were a few hiccups with downloading information but Docket Alarm's customer service was fast and responsive. They updated me on progress and solved the issue in a timely manner.  I couldn't ask for better customer service.
> 
> Docket Alarm has been beneficial in searching for specific types of cases for clients. It has streamlined the process and delivered better results. The search and alert functionality has been a good way to stay current on cases and topics.
