CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
Amicus Attorney can probably be deployed very well in a law office that has a manager specifically dedicated to making it run smoothly, and who can keep track of the contacts, etc. In our firm, no one can spend the time to do this, so the information stored by Amicus gets a little disorganized, which has the effect of slowing us down

Timekeeping is good, but the report output could be better. The interface is much better than it used to be.

In the time that I have been with my firm, we have not used any other comparable software. As a result I can't compare it to anything else that is out there

Return on Investment
CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
  • Large software investment, if not properly configured and utilized this can be a time and money vacuum.
  • If law firm does not have a consistent personality among employees, buy-in may be difficult as it's a significant workflow change for users.
  • Can greatly benefit law firm if used properly and across board for all employees. Uniform data organization for cases and custom pages add to personalizing software for firm.
