LexisNexis Firm Manager (Discontinued) vs. Time Matters

Extremely easy to import data. Management system is very easy to use as well. Lexis Nexis Firm Manager is well suited for use by a small firm when they need to organize large amounts of data. It is an easy to use tool that saves time and allows for more efficient use of staff and attorney's time.

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.

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

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.
