Saves enormous amounts of time and helps you produce very sharp looking professional documents from your own current documents.

Sits on top of your OWN documents, and can be set up by mere mortals. Markup experience is helpful, but absolutely not necessary. The main person who implemented this at our practice just turned 70, and we have taken advantage of more and more features. If I could give a sixth star for service I would, as the person who develops the software does all of the customer service and is incredibly responsive for bug reports, usage suggestions, and troubleshooting setup. Can be used by even beginning staff without a lot of technical sophistication, and saves a tremendous amount of time.

Because of the many things it can do, and the multiple ways each method is implemented, it can be a little cumbersome to decide a quick route to the solution you want. Trial and error solves it fairly quickly. Because of the software stack it is built on (Word), it is occasionally buggy and has to be restarted. I suspect this is mostly due to Word and its Visual Basic for Applications implementation, because as stated in the Pros the customer service is excellent.

We are working to improve how our staff spends their time. Moving them from generating documentation to providing more value to our clients.

I really enjoy that Pathagoras lives ontop of word. We don't have to use any other software or become locked in to a certain way of operating. This provides us with flexibility. The software has been easy to use and setting up documents is easy. Customer service is also top notch. You get a very fast response to any questions you may have and they are interested in making sure you are successful with their product. Their is a ton of documentation that is provided that includes examples of how to approach solving a problem, along with guides on how to build your automation process.

There are a ton of different things that can be done with this software and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out how to approach solving a particular issue. There is no "right way" which is both great for flexibility and sometimes difficult. The documentation that is available is fantastic and covers all of the features that are needed to automate documents, I just wish it was a little bit easier to navigate. I also initially experienced some minor UI issues but those went away quickly.

Pathagoras tremendously reduces the amount of time and mistakes when it comes to document production. Their customer service is by far one of the Company's best attributes. One of Pathagoras's best features - the ability to adapt the program based upon the firm's individual needs. While there are multiple features to Pathagoras, each customer has the ability to choose what features they want to use. Pathagoras is a great way to ease into the modern world of document production, as a user can use it as little or as much as they desire.

If you have no prior coding experience, it may take you longer to learn the ins and outs of the program. The initial set up can be time consuming, as individual documents need to be coded and tested to ensure they work properly. However, once the initial set up is complete, the time to prepare documents is greatly reduced.

Automate any document, standardize documents with no specific programming skills. Easy to use, powerful, fast.

I love this software, and have previously reviewed it. But if you want superior customer service, you can't beat this product. I was playing with the software on a sunday and had questions. I emailed customer service - not only did I get several emails in reply, but the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] called and remotely did an install of an update I hadn't done. On a Sunday ! Always a helpful and quick response.

There are more features, and more power than I know what to do with. Is that a problem? I can grow into it.

My overall experience with Pathagoras is fantastic. The fact that documents are created as Microsoft Word documents and not on another platform (as with other document automation programs) makes programming straightforward. Also, the level of programming detail that you are able to incorporate into your documents with Pathagoras really cuts down on all aspects of legal work – I make fewer mistakes, am more productive and spend less time doing redundant clerical work. Also, not enough can be said about the level of support you receive from Pathagoras. My experience has been that when I have a question, I receive an answer either the same day or the next day. It's better than any support I have ever received from any other software company.

It can be used immediately, even by people with little to no programming experience, and supports and encourages step-by-step learning. Support is absolutely top-notch.

There's really nothing about Pathagoras that I don't like, except the fact that it's for Microsoft Word.

This software allows for the easiest creation of precedent documents for your practice. The functionality of the instant data base screen....it shows all the variables when you open the document....makes it very simple for support staff to follow and use. The learning curve has been minimal in all respects. Lastly, I have to say a word about the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. He s simply amazing at assisting you any way he can so that you have a successful journey with his program.

Intuitive and easy to install and use. Robust capabilities. Amazing support if you do experience any issues.

It is restricted to Word. I hate Word but I love this software....so I am using Word.

Pathagoras has given us quality control and increased efficiency at a very reasonable price. There is no real learning curve for users either - it is so easy to use!

Pathagoras is very easy to use. I like having the ability to tailor the software to our needs - you can create simple and complex documents. I also like having control of my forms and the ability to go back and improve our form documents as we learn more about the software. The software is very user friendly and the customer service is AMAZING - all of our questions were answered quickly.

I have nothing negative to say about this software or the company.

Usability is great. The learning curve to put this software into action is not steep at all. Extremely helpful tool if you need to create redundant documents. Also, the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is EXTREMELY accessible. All around fantastic experience.

No issues at all. We looked into the competitors and very quickly realized this was the solution for us.

Pathgoras gives hope to lawyers who want to build an excellent system to produce documents fast and accurately.

It was logical and incremental. The developer knew what you needed and when you needed it. It is a feature rich program .

It takes time to learn. But once into it, it is very rewarding.

My law office provides only two services: divorce and marriage contracts. So, Pathagoras has been vital over the years in helping us create the highest quality contracts with no fuss, extra work, confusion, or missed topics.

I'm someone who only uses a computer to work, I use it as a typewriter, letter-sender, and telephone and nothing else. So, using any computer program that's "fancy" or "complex" makes me nervous. Years ago, when my associate said, "Let's use Pathagoras to help us write the highest quality contracts," and she showed me how easy it was to use to use the program, I was immediately on board. We've been using Pathagoras for almost *twenty years* now and it's the most treasured product on my computer. I'd die without it at this point. It's so easy to update the underlying template to change over the years and easily access a treasure trove of past drafted sections to use going forward. And, more importantly in some ways, the customer service is *highly personal and immediate.* I recently had my hard drive crash and it wiped out my Office Suite so I had to repurchase and reload it. When I connected the new Word to Pathagoras I couldn't get it to work so reached out to [sensitive content hidden], the developer. He personally emailed me back within ONE HOUR and quickly scheduled a video call to go onto my computer and connect Pathagoras to the new Word, and voila, my office as back in business. This meant the world to me that a customer as old my my law office would be important enough for [sensitive content hidden] to drop everything and get my office up and running again, practically overnight. What a treasure!

There is nothing about the program that isn't optimal. I love it and have never had a problems with using it.

I'm a solo practitioner. If I didn't have Pathagoras I would have to hire help and raise my fees, or buy some kind of subscription software and raise my fees.

I've been using it for about 10 years now to make templates and fill in the data (names, addresses, phone numbers, case numbers, judges, etc.) If I had to look all these things up it would take me forever. To me this product is a must have. I looked at using Form Tool for a while because of their I saw that you could make a questionnaire for your forms... Well - I didn't realize it but Pathagoras will do that too, and even better.

It is a bit of a challenge if you want to do "everything" with it. You can use it quickly by putting placeholders in your templates and then filling them in from your records with a touch of a button. That's pretty easy and I used it that way for a long time. But I'm the kind of person who digs in and wants to use ALL the bells and whistles and that is challenging because this software does SO much. As the documentation says - don't try to do it all at once (like me).

Pathagoras will change your practice. Taking the time to create excellent forms - one time - then using them over and over (revising over time) is just amazing. Compared to trying to remember which client you did that project for, digging up the document and cutting and pasting - well there is no comparison. Frankly, if you are an attorney - or business person - and document generation is not central to your practice you are missing the boat and, frankly, making a huge, foolish, mistake.

Pathagoras makes document generation easy, even for those of us who are not technically inclined. Every attorney has to generate the same basic forms over and over again - pleadings, wills, trusts, contracts, leases and so forth. With Pathagoras it only takes a few minutes to convert a document into a form - so you never have to cut & paste again. Doing so cuts down the error rate of cut & paste to zero, saves time and every document looks just as it should with no real time or thought required - leaving you the time and energy to focus on the substance of documents, not the format or details. Pathagoras has saved me a huge amount of time and saved me from untold embarrasing errors. I use the basic features of the Pathagoras, which is all that I need. But Pathagoras is well suited for those with more sophisticated needs as well, it has amazing capabilities. If you can see the value of doing it right, one time, then enjoying quality documents thereafter, Pathagoras is for you. If you are a hopeless cut & paster, there is a better way - Pathagoras. Before investing in Pathagoras I used a few other programs and they all were over my head and hopelessly complex for me.

Nothing. At times I have had small issues with formatting and the support has been amazing. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] apparently never sleeps and is endlessly patient. Not to mention that the support pages and explanations of how to do things are amazing - and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is kind in not pointing out that I could have solved my own issues by reading a bit more carefully.

Only wishes I had it available 25 years ago.

First, this program offers more functions than anything else I have seen and it is still being upgraded with improved and new features. Second, most people will talk about the easy bracket "pathagorizing" a document and use which is great, but in my practice I am required by the Court Clerks to use a lot of the standardized Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) .pdf forms. Oh YES!, you can bracket (I use the deep method) the cells in the Adobe(R) pdf form and the variables used in Word(R) can be placed in the pdf. Third, Excel(R) isn't left out. I've created (by example for estate administration) a comprehensive spreadsheet that is used to manage most aspects (Decedent name, address, age, etc.; Heirs and spouses names, addresses, etc.; if selling property to pay debts requiring a special proceeding, respondents names, addresses, etc.). With a few keystrokes all those variables can be downloaded into a database file for use in Word(R) documents or selected variables directly into a document. Fourth: Calculates numbers, and dates (i.e. 30 days from date A), or insert Excel(R) into Word(R) documents. Fifth: Variations on dates (1/1/2020 or 01/01/2020 or January 1, 2020 or 1st day of January 2020, etc.), and dollar amounts. Sixth: I haven't even gotten to BIG document assembly. Seven: Maybe this is a Con, but what I've learned only scratches the surfaces of its capabilities. Eight: Real, old time support. No answering robot. Real person.

Nothing! But to nit-pic the online manual is good but would like to have more YouTube how to videos and webinar/seminars.

I've been using Pathagoras for the past 5 years - and I can say it's the single greatest technology change I've ever made in my law practice. With a little effort, all of my pleadings, letters, etc. are completely automated. With a few clicks, all needed variables are filled in, as well as appropriate he/she, Mr./Ms., auto spelled out dollar amounts, etc, and preparation errors are cut by 95%. With no more effort, custom optional clauses (as lengthy and complex as you wish) can be easily incorporated into the forms, and basically anything that could be created on a "if/then" flow chart, can also easily be incorporated into a Pathagoras-MS Word document forms. The time needed to draft and proof read forms is cut by 80%. With emails becoming such a large part of a law practice, form emails with variables are also easily created on MS Word, and then cut and pasted to emails as needed. Whatever effort is needed to convert your existing forms to Pathagoras-MS Word document forms will easily return a huge profit in time savings over just a year of using them. In short, I highly recommend Pathagoras, and the customer support is second to none.

Really nothing. The cost is more than reasonable, and it's a huge productivity boost.

I like it because I was able to Pythagoras one of my basic forms during the first 15 minutes following the most simple user manual.

Comments from a satisfied long-term user.

I like it because I was able to Pythagoras one of my basic forms during the first 15 minutes following the most simple user manual.

I am extremely happy with Pathagoras. It has help me become more efficient, provide outstanding documents and service to my clients, has reduced overhead and the bottom line, it has made me money.

Pathagoras makes document drafting exceedingly efficient and easy. By using Pathorgas, I am able to create templates and draft even complex documents in much less time than prior to using the program. It is very feature rich and can assist with simple to complex document automation. The support available is by far the best support I have ever received for a software product. I highly recommend this product. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give this product and the support team a much higher rating.

As in any new software product, there is a learning curve. The basic functions are easy to learn. The more robust features take time to learn. However, the support for this product, both tutorials and available customer support, greatly help reduce this learning curve.

Forms, form forms, the key to a successful busy Law Practice, and Pathagoras actually encourages you to make new forms. It really reduces so much stress and makes you look great to your clients.

That it is so easy to transform your Word documents into Templates that are then so easy to call up and fill out. It's is seamlessly integrated into Word and your staff will immediately produce perfect documents. Creating divorce docs, used to take about 60 minutes and there were always mistakes, once we installed Pathagoras it literally and unbelievably now takes 10 minutes. And then there is support, have a question, they are on your computer in minutes, problem solved. Get Pathagoras and you too will soon be writing a great review for them.

The only thing I don't like is that I feel guilty that it costs so little, seems wrong.

Pathagorus is intuitive, easy to use, and logical. It allows us to automate and customize the preparation of document sets to an unbelieveable degree, all while working easily with our pre-existing forms. Everything in the program is visible. Nothing happens behind the scenes where you can't see or fix or control it. If I was going to create document automation software myself. Pathagorus is what it would be.

I have not found a single con. I even love the manual. Customer service has been incredibly personal and responsive. I was even provided with a custom solution for a particular need.

I explored document assembly years ago. I subscribed to a popular software that like Pathagoras, was Word-integrated, well-priced and easy to learn - but it didn't come close to the brilliant simplicity and power that's offered here. Although Pathagoras is positioned as a 'legal' product, it's adaptability to my very specific situation has already proven itself, and the potential of the product keeps unfolding daily.

I'm not in legal. I'm a consultant in domestic, high-ticket construction-design and sales. In addition to customized building-design I produce a myriad of documentation that encompasses project feasibility, design-proposals, costing-briefs and building-specifications. With seamless, robust Word integration I'm able to harness Pathagoras' ability to grab data from Word and Excel data-sources to allow me to quickly create information-rich, beautifully-presented proposals and support-documentation. Before, I was putting these documents together; however the 'cut-and-paste' approach I was using was exhausting, sometimes inconsistent and very time-consuming. I'm now moving to a heavily-automated document-assembly workflow, and the investment I'm making in setting this up is already very rewarding. (And personal support from Pathagoras for specific document-assembly challenges has been fast, flexible, generous and 100% resolving of any problem I have proposed. And I'm in Australia, 13 hours ahead of Virginia).

Not much. Only that I need to think through the 'legal' examples in the help-documentation and apply them in a non-legal setting.

Experience has been outstanding. Using Pathagoras Document Automation has resulted in a tremendous time savings and has allowed us to accomplish tasks that previously required multiple support staff members.

The software has transformed the way we practice law. Gone are the days of having to find templates, cutting and pasting, and changing grammar. Pathagoras offers an intuitive process that lets you automate documents. With a few clicks, attorneys can create their own pleadings, discovery responses and correspondence. There are an endless number of utilities and features that allow you to streamline multiple areas of your practice.

There is nothing that I do not like. Getting up to speed on all of the different features takes some time but there are great publications on the website, and the developer is incredibly responsive to any emails that you send asking for guidance.

This software is a great value and time saver. It helps us create a template out of any Word document. It protects our templates by allowing us to pull up a new document from a drop down list and start fresh with each client. Great personal customer support.

We encounter glitches sometimes with running the software. Hard to tell sometimes if it is Pathagorus or Word.

I have purchased a number of systems in the past but none were able to perform like Pathagoras. They were either too complex to be useable or too simplistic. This is the Goldilocks for me - just right. I was able to set up documents that could be part of a system for producing my documents that anyone could use. For me it is not just about productivity, but also consistency and quality. I had no trouble learning the system. Then, as I ventured into more complex areas I asked for and received prompt support and suggestions. It was a nice change not to have to hire somebody to write things for me. Although I have answered that I am a sole practitioner at present, I have in the past had a larger firm that I ran on best practice principles.

What is there not to like! I suppose that if you want generic documents straight out of the box then this may not be the software for you.

One-stop shop for personalized engagement letters, contracts, and estate plans.

Fast and easy control using only Word to update fields and documents. The creator is super helpful when questions arise and always gives extra tips to improve it's value. Saves me from hiring an assistant

Many features I don't use due to learning curve and time required to update documents.

I'm 100% satisfied with Pathagoras. The product functions as advertised and the customer service is top notch. I usually receive answers to questions about document programming the same day I send a request for help.

Its virtually unlimited flexibility. I can prepare any documents my company needs using Pathagoras.

Truthfully, I don't have problems/issues of any kind with Pathagoras.

Pathagoras is Brilliant - but I am a Google man and I find MSWord very/too complicated. That said - I have to spend lots of time learning Word just to use Pathagoras - but it is more than worth it. The Instant Database is really great. Pathagoras means I can prepare documents for clients in a flash with fewer errors or checking

Instant Database and its multi-replace abilities

It only works with MS Word which is of course great software but overly complicated for the average user
