    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.

    Chose Amicus Attorney by CARET
    Amicus Attorney has been a solid competitor for at least a decade. LexisNexis does not seem to invest a lot of time into new features for Time Matters, but the same can be said for Amicus Attorney in recent years. ProLaw is in a category of it's own (especially in regards to …

    Actionstep is a true cloud-based Practice Management system. Actionstep is superior to Amicus in every aspect, more customizable, more fully featured and better sales/support resources. It is unfortunate what has happened to Amicus, which appears to be based on someone's greed …

    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

    Pros
    CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
    • Very efficient calendaring with sync to Outlook calendar (option of Exchange or Outlook level synchronization).
    • Case management including contacts, emails, documents, etc. to keep everything in one consolidated place.
    • Document automation including Word merging or HotDocs (third party). Take case data including custom pages and fields and instantly create documents based on templates with ease.

    CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
    • Partner channel doesn't really exist anymore
    • Support of the product is extremely poor
    • License agreement states you can only run it in their data center (not Azure or AWS, really Amicus?)

    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.
