My go to app for working with Law firms and QuickBooks Online

All of the law firms I work with use LeanLaw. We are even converting clients from desktop PC law to LeanLaw/QuickBooks Online. We are conversion specialists in moving law firm clients to the cloud.

PROS

It's ease of use. From the attorney's perspective, it is very intuitive. Produces high-quality invoices. From the Accountant's perspective, it works seamlessly with QuickBooks Online. I love the two-way sync and the billable expenses feature.

CONS

Nothing, the even have high-level customer service. Great app!

Fits the Bill

My experience has been very very good overall. I have only needed customer service once or twice over the past year or so I have used the product and both times, LeanLaw was extremely responsive and helpful.

PROS

I chose LeanLaw because it works with my Mac based systems, integrates very easily with Quickbooks, and has a very easy to use interface for my desktop which I use all day every day.

CONS

I would like a little more ability to customize some things.

Reasons for switching to LeanLaw

I couldn't integrate Billings Pro with Quickbooks and I got to the point where I just felt I could no longer trust the product.

Integration with Quickbooks Nightmare

I have had no luck with customer service being on point or helpful. I would only suggest this to a company that likes QB and doesn't want integration with other programs.

PROS

Ease of navigation. it has some features that are helpful and would be beneficial to someone who likes QB.

CONS

It doesn't work well with quickbooks there are features that require work arounds to do this. As a result we are working through switching. We would keep the software maybe but the inability to work with other accounting software makes it impossible.

Reason for choosing LeanLaw

Not sure

Reasons for switching to LeanLaw

It was before I started. I really don't know.

Vendor Response

As a founder of LeanLaw, I regret and take personally LeanLaw not working for a client. I have personally worked with your firm, and it a bummer to see you folks leave. I hope you know we are vigilant with our customer support, know we will be investigating your poor experiences and ensuring they are not replicated. As a company, has worked diligently on our QuickBooks integration and it would be no easy task replicating that level of integration with another accounting partner. This is why Intuit has recognized LeanLaw as a premier app in their marketplace.

Great product overall

Overall, I am pleased Leanlaw. We have been using it for over a year now, and we still have some kinks to workout. Overall, I believe that the Leanlaw training process could be much more streamlined.

PROS

It is fairly easy to use and integrates with quickbooks online.

CONS

I am not really proficient in quickbooks and I think that the software would be more useful to me if I knew qbo better

Reason for choosing LeanLaw

the qbo integration

Reasons for switching to LeanLaw

We did not like tabs at all, and did not feel that it worked well.

Intuitive product and great customer support

Very positive. They helped me very quickly and confidently launch my solo law practice in 2017. When I relaunched the practice in 2020, all of my information was restored automatically. It was very easy and a great relief.

PROS

The product is easy to set up and easy to use. The integration with Quickbooks is great - it made it possible for me to confidently use Quickbooks, which I had never used before. The team is very responsive to customer service questions and any questions/issues are very quickly addressed. They are great communicators.

CONS

I don't have any criticisms but my law practice is not very complex.

Reason for choosing LeanLaw

I liked the monthly subscription pricing and the easy integration with QuickBooks. I was also able to speak with someone from the company and they had very good practical advice for launching my law practice with their product and with Quickbooks. I felt confident after speaking with them.
