LawGro vs. Time Matters

I think this is a great tool and offers many features like case management, lead management, and reputation management. So we don't rely on multiple software. If LawGro can also integrate some online payment solution like LawPay, it will help us a lot.

The legal world- you need this program. There are plenty of other options out there, but TM is by far the best that I have used. This program works for an office of 1 to an office of 100. I have no clue how it would work in any other jobs, it is designed for legal work.

• Client Intake forms - It is the best. I was able to create the intakes seamlessly in just minutes.
• Document Assembly - It took us a while to take live our internal templates but now we see a lot of advantages and are able to roll out documents quickly in just a few clicks

• Tie Matters handles event and to-do notifications well. This ensures that all SOL's and due dates are met.
• Time Matters does case management tasks well, including documenting cases, documenting client and opposing counsel interactions and court orders.
• Time Matters does a good job of syncing all case data to a users Outlook Calendar, to ensure todo and event notifications on a users Outlook/phone.

• Searching case notes for specific keywords is not supported. Will be great to see this feature soon.
• Version control on document assembly is a great feature on LawGro but it does not tags documents with version numbers.
• Approval workflow for invoicing is missing. It will be great to review and approve invoices and time entries before sending to the client.

• The software crashes a lot.
• The plugins for Office and Adobe are unstable.
• The whole software package appears to be built for the year 1995.

There is no unpaid support. They insist on a service contract for support, either with the manufacturer, or with a re-seller.

LawGro has deeper analytics and insights on multiple activities like invoices, payments, team member availability etc. They have an in-built client intake forms and document assembly feature which was critical to our practice.

So Juris and TM are both LexisNexis products. I dislike Juris greatly and the only thing we use it for is billing because we already had it and it was compatible with TM for billing purposes. Juris doesn't allow you any kind of document storage or management. You can make a "note" but what good does that really do me? In my opinion, Juris is good for billing only (not client management) and there are other options like QuickBooks that really outshine it.

• Helped us to manage our reputation and client happiness much more professionally and analytically.

• Time Matters has allowed attorneys to focus on research and writing, rather than wondering where a file is.
• Time Matters has allowed for more efficient communication between team members on a case.
• Time Matters has ensured hot documents are tagged and accessible.
