User Testimonials
	Aderant Expert Sierra	PCLaw
Likelihood to Recommend	Aderant No answers on this topic	PCLaw \| Time Matters PCLaw is well suited for small to medium sized law firms with minimal accounting and bookkeeping needs. The software provides basic case management functions, and I've encountered issues with viewing or organizing new documents. The software crashes and freezes often, especially when multiple users are trying to access it at the same time. The user interface is a bit outdated but still very easy to navigate. You have to pay more for the cloud-based version of the software and it does not allow software integrations or workflow automations. I would recommend using this software only for billing/accounting purposes and subsidizing case management with more modernized products Alexis Dudek Paralegal Read full review
Pros	Aderant No answers on this topic	PCLaw \| Time Matters Quick - reports generate faster than Clio or Cosmolex Efficient data entry When set up properly, it speeds up a lot of different tasks Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Aderant No answers on this topic	PCLaw \| Time Matters Like I said in my pros, it can hold a lot of matters. But, if your firm is very large, PCLaw may not be the best option. My old firm grew to the point where they had to switch because they had too many matters for the system to hold. The software is definitely dated, and I have some issues with crashing and other weird/buggy behavior. I have to set the default printer every time I log on in order to avoid multiple pop-ups when trying to print a document/report (which definitely doesn't take much time, but it can get annoying).

Usability	Aderant No answers on this topic	PCLaw \| Time Matters The software may not be pretty, but it works. It could use a facelift but the functionality is still there. Personally, I would like to see an investment to make it prettier, but again, function over fashion. It is not a client-facing application, so internal use does not need to be razzle-dazzle.

Support Rating	Aderant No answers on this topic	PCLaw \| Time Matters Tech support for LexisNexis PCLaw has been seamless as far as I know. Those issues have been dealt with by others at my organization and I do not have personal experience. Incentivized Jaime L. Regan Associate Attorney Read full review
