Hands down the best legal billing software I have ever used

I have found PCLAW to be the best solution for smaller law firms, where numerous timekeepers may work on a particular matter.

Pros:

PCLAW has the best interface, once you've learned how to use it it is very easy to use, with a lot of features. Very easy to integrate with various insurance carrier portals. Easy to generate reports.

Cons:

Somewhat of a learning curve. Can be expensive if you're adding many licensed users.

PC Law used to be the gold standard for law practice matter management and accounting.

Reliable Legal Accounting Software with Room for Modernization

Did great work for us for over a decade but ultimately the cons outweighed the pros

PCLaw was the billing and timekeeping software we purchased when we opened the law firm, and we used it for nearly 15 years. It did its job but ultimately the cons outweighed the pros, so we switched this year.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

We used PCLaw for almost 15 years. Its reporting functionality was excellent. It's timekeeping and billing functions (including ability to generate LEDES bills for e-billing systems) handled everything we needed.

Cons:

PCLaw was sold to us as a one-time software purchase, not a subscription software product. It was very pricy but, like most software that is sold on a license basis, we were able to purchase the software and not have to buy an upgrade every single year, so the overall cost was reasonable. However, when we started to have what should have been minor functionality problems, we realized that there was also an annual subscription cost for access to customer support. Because we weren't paying that additional annual cost, we didn't have access to customer support. So, ultimately, the software ended up being much more expensive than originally priced. The software is not accessible via the web-based access, so you have to have access to our server to use it. The user interface is also not very attractive.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Quick - entering data is very fast and reports, invoices, etc load fairly quickly

Cons:

Support was a nightmare to work with. They do not respond very quickly and you are forced to wait for an agent for chat if you want the fastest response, but when you are busy with other things you don't want to keep your eye on the chat all day just to see when they have an agent available. Server based - makes it very difficult to set up - my IT had to make several attempts and was frustrated with each new little issue that had to be resolved before moving forward.

Reasons for switching to PCLaw

Moved to a different company that was using PC Law.
