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
TrialWorks software is a trusted source to manage cases in a law firm. It's also a great management tool for insurance companies, as well as courts. It works well for a Plaintiff firm and can be switched to work well for a Defense firm. The software works as a virtual file cabinet with tabs across the top as if you were looking through a file cabinet. You can sort the tabs to most used and hide tabs you don't need. You can change the colors of the tabs for your preference
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.
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
We used TrialWorks long before we started using Salesforce. Salesforce does not have the many capabilities TrialWorks has for managing cases in a law firm.
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.
