MyCase

Pros

Affordability is one of the best benefits of MyCase. MyCase offers simple month-to-month, no contract obligation pricing a month for each attorney and /month for each paralegal. Another great benefit MyCase offers is Lawyer App which is compatible with iPhone, iPad or Adroid. Accounting features are limited within MyCase but with the ability to integrate QuickBooks, accounting is a snap. Collaborate, create, customize utilizing Legal Practice Management Tool Kit is another great feature MyCase provides to its clients. The automation software provides task template and case flows for repetitive forms via intake which is beneficial for estate planning, probate, divorce, and bankruptcy law firms. MyCase is the least expensive case management software available for law firms and would benefit small firms. Also, MyCase has been adding new features through time. You'll enjoy the time billing, firm reports, online payments, Quickbook integration, document management and collaboration features. I recommend trying the 30-day trial for free and check it out!

Cons

MyCase is the least expensive for a reason and with price, there are limits to features. MyCase is not as robust as its competitors if your law firm is medium to large. MyCase caters to small firms. If you are a firm that bills on contingency, UTBMS or LEDES, MyCase may not be for you. Also, MyCase only integrates with QuickBooks whiles others integrate with Xero too.

Pros

We love the ease of time tracking, the mobile app and organization features.

Cons

We have had client complaints that the client-side is confusing when they are looking for documents that have been shared or upcoming events. It would also be more efficient if we could share entire file folders rather than individual documents. Finally, a notification or icon when a new note has been posted to a case would make that function more useful.

Reasons for Switching to MyCase

Pros

Ease of invoicing. The only advantage to the product from the billing and payments side of the practice

Cons

Impossible to drill down on any report below the level of their standard reports. Lack of any common sense in reporting functions with billing, payments, etc. Need to hire some accountants to make their reports usable.

Pros

The MyCase features I appreciate most are: time and expense tracking; case deadline calendaring (especially the Workflow feature), and billing/invoicing. I really like the timer, which I use to track how much time I spend working on a case/matter. I also like to e-signature function, which I use when I need a client to sign a document.

Cons

The thing I like lease about MyCase is that I have often have to click through multiple screens to get where I want to go. For example, if I want to find my time entries for a particular case/matter, I have to search for that case in the search bar, select the case from the drop down menu of search results, then click on the "time and billing" tab within that case, then click on the "time entries" tab.

Pros

I love how much it's changed over the years. There are at least 2 new features that i wrote to the developers as a suggestion. MyCase changes with the market and changes to meet users needs. My entire practice revolves around this program

Cons

I wish I had access to my Leads information on the mobile app
