The platform is very user-friendly with logical case flow, file previews with data inputs being very straightforward. As a collaborative tool, it provides real-time updates with our internal stakeholder contributions and makes case progression simplified. One of our favorite things that stands above other management systems that we have used is the friendly and attentive customer service. We have had several instances where we had a question or issue arise that needed more than the platform Q\&A. Every time, the agent exemplified a level of customer service that is rare. They were careful to understand the issue and provide options to resolution or suggestion to a work around. > > **Cons**: So far, we’ve only encountered one limitation. Expanding the CSV import/export functionality to include more detailed case information fields would be extremely beneficial. When working with large volumes of data, manual entry is simply not a practical solution. That said, when we raised this concern, the support team was receptive and understood the need. They submitted the suggestion for consideration in a future product update, which we appreciated. > > Overall, we have really enjoyed using this software for our comprehensive case management and anticipate future use. Thank you for the great platform and customer service. We would recommend\! ----- ### "Easiest Bankruptcy program" — 5.0/5 > **Terry** | *28 September 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's intuitiveness-it saves me time, it was easy to learn, and it has the best support I've ever had in a Bankruptcy program (and I've used many\!). I hope to use it until I retire. > > **Cons**: There's nothing I don't like about it. It's been reliable from the start, and has only gotten better. > > Very pleased-it seems like a lot of thought went into the production of the program. I've read many complainants about other programs, but not for NextChapter\! ----- ### "Review of NextChapter" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *7 December 2021* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to use. Even the most inexperienced user could use it with ease. > > **Cons**: No complaints. The service has been everything we needed. > > Positive experience. Easy to use and even when we run into issues the customer service team is great at fixing the issue. ----- ### "Next Chapter is your best bet" — 5.0/5 > **Lee** | *24 June 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We're able to buy the program on an "as needed" basis which is important as we have attorneys retiring and are winding down the bankruptcy filings. > > **Cons**: The boost in price for paralegal service from a one at a time option to flat fee. Previously knowledgable paralegals were available on a case by case basis. > > Have used in Chapter 11 and 7 cases; both easily accomplished. Help desk always available. Updates were immediately posted as necessary. ----- ### "First Class Product and First Class Support" — 5.0/5 > **Julianne** | *16 October 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was using ancient bankruptcy software for years, and they sold out and tried to sell me to their acquirer, Best Case. Just then, NextChapter was in beta and I agreed to test it. I immediately thought it was the best iteration that this program could ever be. 3 years later, I feel even more convinced. I can't think of software that I found more suited for any purpose...kudos to the Next Chapter team. > > **Cons**: Some of the flow is a little confusing, and takes some getting used to, but once you get it, it is a piece of cake. > > More than anything else, the customer service is impeccable, prompt and friendly. AND. they listen to your suggestions to improve and ACTUALLY implement. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/65001/nextchapter?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/65001/nextchapter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
