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 …

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.
