Pros:
The price is affordable. The program is easy to learn. The artificial intelligence aspect is solid and helps save time. The jurisdictions are easy to identify and narrow. The search results are easy to identify as to the source and type, so you can look at a brief or look at the opinion. The printing of the results lets you select the format for printing. The program is a steal as the price is 20% of the other research engines—great online chat staff.
Cons:
No lexis or Westlaw quick cites, so you have to look deeper for them to find them. Not impossible, and the online chat staff will help but still an inconvenience. However, 90% of the time, you don't need them. You continue to realize at this price, and it's worth it.

Reasons for choosing Casetext

Too expensive for too many bells and whistles that a small firm doesn't need on a regular day.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Price. not worth overpaying. Went from $300 to $400 per month to $ 50. 00

My 3rd year of Casetext

5

After a few years of using Casetext I can say it has been wonderful for my firm. Great search capability, great customer service, and most importantly I get what I need quickly and the search results, IMHO, have honestly just been better. I'm very glad I made the switch. It's nice to send a good review as I spent years doing the opposite with other services that could have cared less.

Pros:
What I like most is that it works great! At first got involved with Casetext due to the crazy pricing and bundling offered by other services that finally put me off dealing with them. Casetext has exceeded my expectations and honestly is better than the others (the big ones) I've used for the past 32 years. Rather than a drop-off there has been an improvement in level of service. I like the CARA search feature and I feel overall it's just a better product at a fair price.
Cons:
There were a few things that need to be worked out when I first bought Casetext but they listened to feedback and made improvements. I'm happy with where it as and hope the price point stays were it is now for while.

Reasons for choosing Casetext

Because it was better and less expensive. I think people stick to the other services because it's what they know but they can call me and I'll tell them for a firm like mine I just found something that works. So that's why I chose Casetext.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Price, frustration with the others always buiding in unnecessary, exponential price increases. They were the 800 lbs gorillas of the industry and never felt threatened. Well sorry, but Casetext gives me a better product for a much better price. I was wary initially but after sampling Casetext for a month I was sold on it and have been ever since.

Best Value "complete legal research solution" period.

5

Casetext is the only legal research platform I will use for a long time. I have been a customer since their inception, I had noticed their watermark on some cases people sent me, and once I tried the free trial, I never looked back. Simple, easy to use interface, every case, statute and rule under one inexpensive subscription, and constantly gathering feedback from lawyers who use it, Casetext isn't hiding it's next big feature or functionality reveal in some coding basement vault, they are asking attorneys how CT can be made to work better for users, and how design changes will make lawyer's jobs easier.

Pros:
What I like most about Casetext is the price. That statement requires context: What I like most is the LOW price considering I can access every decision statute or rule nationwide for significantly less than half of what it would cost me to get ONLY Illinois decisions, statutes and Court rules on the big 2.
Cons:
Although they are adding features that are actually cutting edge, and unavailable on any other research platform, they still lack natural language search and an equivalent feature or functionality to gathering the sheep or unlocking cites to similar cases and issues.

Reasons for choosing Casetext

Casetext feels more robust, doesn't have apparent "gaps" or "blind spots" where one might miss a case due to the program's quality.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Cost.

Pros:
Casetext is a solid platform. It is easy to use and provides what you need. I run a criminal practice and I use it all the time. Easy to download pdfs, easy to share pdfs, easy to connect to other cases.
Cons:
They started out as a reasonably priced option for small firms but they quickly decided that they should charge like Lexis so up went the price. A single person or two person firm it originally was a great deal ($50 a month or so) but then it went to $80 a month like a Lexis or Westlaw and now it isn't that great of a deal. I would recommend it to other people when it was $50 but now that it is $80, who cares which one you get. The only reason I would recommend would be if you don't like Lexis (they are not a nice company - they will sue you)

Reasons for choosing Casetext

Westlaw is another. They have had the industry for so long that they didn't need customer service. Same with Lexis. So when I could call Casetext and speak to a human that really wanted to help me with my situation then I was sold. Westlaw and Lexis do not care about your situation (in my opinion) unless you are paying them a bunch of money - single and less than 5 people and you get no attention at all.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Lexis as a company is a crappy company. If you are a small business then they do not pay attention to you. Money talks so the decision was made to see if Casetext would pay attention. At first Casetext did so that was nice.

Pros:
The software itself is not bloated and does not include unnecessary features but also allows me to conduct research easily, including reviewing related cases or points of law.
Cons:
Sometimes specific case references do not include proper links and I have to search elsewhere for the cases. But this rarely happens and isn't much of an issue.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Westlaw continued to increase the cost of their service by including a number of features we did not need at our firm. Casetext has everything we need for a fraction of the cost.

Pros:
The software is extremely easy to use with a highly intuitive interface. One very reasonable subscription price gives access to all State and Federal opinions I have ever needed. Probably the most useful feature is the ability to upload a pleading, have it reviewed within seconds and return a list of suggested cases to strengthen the argument. It is an outstanding product. While I have only needed support twice (assistance structuring search terms), the response was quick and solved my problem.
Cons:
This is not really a complaint. The only thing I would change would be to make the drop down box when selecting text for a citation either partially transparent or outside the margin of the opinion's text so that you can see the remaining text in the paragraph - only a minor inconvenience.

Reasons for choosing Casetext

The deciding factors were cost and access to other State and Federal cases.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

Cost and ease of use. While the head-notes are helpful they are not worth the much higher overall cost.

Quick research ability, but need to verify Ohio specific ssyllabuses

I really like the software because it allows me to research quickly and on point. The Ohio syllabus is a specific issue and affects my research about 10 to 15 percent of the time. I really love Casetext overall.

Pros:
The features I liked the most are 1) It is easy to use anywhere. Not only is it quick at the office, but I can use my smartphone, which is quick and convenient for use even it city or right before a hearing. 2) The search usually brings up relevant cases on the first page. Not only that but you can skim through the case quickly because Casetext shows you the searched terms in context and you can view the location in the case of all the key terms without opening the case to read it. This saves some much time which I believe is there best function.
Cons:
I am an Ohio practitioner and Casetext does not always includes the syllabus the appellate court states at the beginning of the case. This is a problem because in Ohio the syllabus is the law and main holding of the case. While the Ohio courts are not using syllabuses as much anymore, I still have to review another case software to confirm the syllabus.

Reasons for switching to Casetext

I also used Casemaker. I made the switch because I was able to reduce research time by about 30 to 40 percent.

We sometimes call it "Slowcase." They're constantly improving, to their credit, but Casetext is faster, richer in features, and yields more useful results.
