Innovative user-interface for legal research

Generally positive experience.

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.

Reasons for switching to Docket Alarm

Free searches are something that Westlaw does not offer. Often times, I need to look up simple legal points, I conducting a research on Westlaw will charge the client.

Docket Alarm - Great for Research

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Docket Alarm

Cost was a deciding factor.

Docket Alarm is Okay

PROS

Easy to use and there are a broad range of cases available

CONS

Some legal documents have a paywall; I wish that there was some way to inform the user of that before the user clicked on it

Avid users of the api to find legal data about individuals

It helps us extend our legal coverage and provides a very useful api access.

PROS

The extensive coverage and querying options, the access via api.

CONS

1. More county courts coverage - especially NY and Massachusetts 2. The ability to filter by dates in the api query - in both pacer and docket alarm. 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.
