I have found PCLAW to be the best solution for smaller law firms, where numerous timekeepers may work on a particular matter. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### Reliable Legal Accounting Software with Room for Modernization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shreyas K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience with PCLaw has been positive. I appreciated how the system brings together client matter management, trust accounting, billing, and financial reporting in one centralized platform. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It integrates time tracking, billing, and trust accounting into a single, easy-to-use platform. It’s designed specifically for law firms, so everything from matter management to client trust compliance, is tailored to legal workflows. #### Cons The user interface feels a bit outdated and can be unintuitive, especially for new users. --- ### The Original in the Industry - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Holly P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have used it for over 20+ years and when it was working it worked well. But as I said it has now been replaced with cloud based software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I respect that it was an innovator in its time #### Cons It is now obsolete and no longer offers IT Support --- ### PCLaw for small firm - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Barbara P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Was not difficult to learn to use and conversion from Quickbooks went well #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I liked the ability to manage accounting and billing in the same software #### Cons It was a bit more than needed for a small lawfirm #### Reasons for switching to PCLaw PCLaw integrated accounting with billing --- ### It was an ok program - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Leah D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It was an ok program and got the job done but there are easier programs out there to utilize. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It was easy to enter information into PCLaw and we used it for almost 20 years. #### Cons There were lots of bugs within PCLaw. We used it for a long time and we just accepted that these were going to be issues and would work around them. The main issue within PCLaw was with generating Ledes invoices. PCLaw did not give you the ability to generate them correctly, so I would have to go in and manually tweak all of the invoice files that it generated or sometimes completely redo them on my on outside of the software. #### Reasons for choosing PCLaw We eventually swapped away from PCLaw for another product and found it to be much easier to use. However, we used PCLaw for over 20 years and it works perfectly fine. --- ### PCLaw - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Ed M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. When it works properly, it is a great legal billing and accounting softeware program. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is an excellent legal billing and accounting platform. Custom billing templates is a powerful tool, and creating invoices is a breeze. #### Cons There have been several software and data corruption glitches, and technical support can be frustrating. #### Reasons for choosing PCLaw PCLaw had the most and best features. #### Reasons for switching to PCLaw Wanted a comprehensive billing and accounting program that had a straightforward interface and was user-friendly. --- ### Flawed software - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Dean S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I used it for about ten years, and each year I spoke to company reps about addressing the problems I saw. They promised but never made any attempt to address my concerns. I switched to CosmoLex,and it is significantly better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Integrated time keeping, billing and accounting #### Cons Poorly formatted bills - columns don’t line up and tech support couldn’t correct it; difficult installation involving database engine, clumsy updating procedure when software versions released #### Reasons for choosing PCLaw Cost. #### Reasons for switching to PCLaw I needed software structured for a law practice, with trust account tracking --- ### terrible support - when it works it is okay - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Mark T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. --- ### Did great work for us for over a decade but ultimately the cons outweighed the pros - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Michael G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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 - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. --- ### Easy to use software, very efficient - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Renatta G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Ease of use, efficiency, and saved time doing menial tasks. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I find the customer support to be extremely useful and prompt; I have had to use it on several occasions and never had an issue getting through or solving my problem. #### Cons The look of the software is somewhat outdated, but it is still easy to find anything you might be looking for. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 80 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/pclaw-profile/reviews/) ## PCLaw Popular Comparisons [LEAP vs PCLaw](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/20175-LEAP/vs/208138-pclaw/)[Clio vs PCLaw](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/clio-legal-profile/vs/pclaw/)[8am MyCase vs PCLaw](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/mycase-profile/vs/pclaw/)[Sage Timeslips vs PCLaw](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/pclaw-profile/vs/sage-timeslips/)[Smokeball vs PCLaw](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/pclaw-profile/vs/smokeball/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/pclaw-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Law Practice Management Software [Filevine](https://www.softwareadvice.com/enterprise-legal-management/filevine-profile/) **4.4** (296) Recently recommended **362** times [PracticePanther Legal Software](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/paypanther-profile/) **4.7** (529) Recently recommended **350** times [Clio](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/clio-legal-profile/) **4.7** (1750) Recently recommended **296** times [8am MyCase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/mycase-profile/) **4.6** (807) Recently recommended **162** times Stuck Between Options?
