What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Parallel search must be improved to reflect dissenting opinions from majority opinions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is my understanding that Casetext is addressing the dissenting opinion issue, and that will allow me to increase the speed of my legal research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Groff of CoCounsel

Thank you! Your review of Casetext means so much. We are always hard at work improving our services! Here are a few tips that might help. Search Parallel Search with a declarative sentence that summarizes your argument. Parallel Search will find the most relevant cases, statutes, administrative materials, regulations, and rules in our database. When Parallel Search pulls relevant cases, it shows you the arguments the opposing side is most likely to rely on. Use the 'Search Within', 'Find in Doc', and filter features to narrow your results.

For more tips on Parallel Search, visit the link connected to this response ("See how Casetext improved").

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

CoCounsel Conquers: Our legal team's journey with this AI-powered virtuoso, blending Sherlock's wit and Google's speed, as we waltzed our way to legal mastery and case-crushing confidence. CaseText´s CoCounsel application is a legal ace!" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Our legal department´s once-beloved manual research, now pales in comparison. We no longer need to hire so many contract attorneys to review discovery documents, which is not good for the country´s GDP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Casetext´s CoCounsel is solving the problem of lawyers wasting time and money on outdated and overpriced legal research tools. It’s benefiting us by giving our legal department access to cutting-edge AI technology that helps us find the best cases, statutes, and arguments for our legal matters. It’s like having a super-smart co-counsel who works nearly for free and, more importantly, never complains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Westlaw and Lexis provide similar engines but at a much higher price.Although I continue to use the Lexis product, it's because I find that their Shepherd's system is easier to use. If I could only have one, it would be case text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

It sometimes takes an extra step or 2 that really shouldn't be necessary. As an example, I rarely need authority outside of Wisconsin and that should be the default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

90% of the time simply describing the issue is enough to get the answer. I never feel that I am shooting an arrow into pitch darkness. That if I just use one more word, I could've found what I was looking for.Lexis and Weestlaw provide the service but their charges cannot be justified by a sole practitioner.

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

The interface is user friendly, I don't get nickeled and dimed for every search that I do. I love that I can copy parts of cases and drop them directly in my document. I also love that the citation is correct. Customer service is outstanding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I would love there to be a feature where I could filter by subpart to a regulation within cases. Sometimes, some cases aren't in Casetext -- I can get a subsequent ruling, for example attorneys fees awarded but can't get the original decision. I wish there was an app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legal research was by far my biggest firm expense before I got a Casetext. Casetext saves me money every day. It also saves me time - because I can cut and paste from Casetext right into my document, I don't have to spend time taking notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Martha, thanks so much for sharing your review, and for including this helpful feedback!

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

I find that the most helpful things about Casetext are that it saves lots of valuable time and is very accurate with search results. The key difference makers for me are features such as CARA AI and Parallel search features. I also love the ability to cite check an entire brief and Casetext in seconds lets me know if the authority my adversary cited is bad law. I also like the ease of cutting and pasting caselaw excerpts with automatic citation. This feature alone saves tons of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

There is not much I dislike about Casetext at all. The learning curve is short and the experience is very intuitive. They make it really easy to use no matter your tech prowess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find Casetext is very time and cost-efficient and certainly helps level the playing field when going up against large firms with more resources. With Casetext, I can quickly locate and make effective use of the law that is most on-point with the issue at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review Casetext, David!

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Clean and easy to use interface, it gets the job done, search features are available, it shepherdizes good enough (none of the services are A+), and for the price it is a value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Lack of customization and inability to access briefs from appellate cases as well I would through Westlaw. I think this would be much more valuable than the parallel search feature which is nice but not at an appellate lawyer's level. Each case should have the briefs linked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legal research in a timely and efficient manner. Case text gets me what I want without all the bells and whistles that are unnecessary for my small to midsize needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Casetext is simple and intuitive to use and really takes no knowledge other than search syntax, which is available from the search bar. Their customer service and research staff are responsive and have provided quality assistance when we needed to do some more advanced research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

There are some types of documents that are not usually available, specifically, briefs from appellate cases as one example, but it seems like additional materials are being added all the time. The briefs are more of a "nice to have" for us, so that isn't a deal-breaker. I would love to see more pleadings available though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Casetext has taken the fear and risk out of searching. We do not pay per search or per document, so I have been able to start with broader searches and see if there are related issues that may factor into the issue I think I am researching. If I had to pay to go down each of those rabbit holes, it would cost a fortune. I am able to zero in on specific issues when needed though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Groff of CoCounsel

Thank you very much for making time to review Casetext! You're totally right: we add a lot of new content to the database every day. We have federal briefs and California briefs as part of our coverage, but other pleadings and briefs aren't currently available.

If it helps, you can review our brief coverage at the following links:

If you're interested in finding additional pleadings or briefs not currently on Casetext, we recommend Pacer.gov.

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

It is quick to search and allows for searches by citation, keyword or phrase. It allows me to obtain case law and statutes very quickly and can copy and paste citations for research. It also provides history for cases and subsequent matters that cite those matters. It is the complete research tool for lawyers. Additionally, its cost is not out of control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I am not able to find Pattern Jury Instructions on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it as a source of legal research. It provides quick information on law and citations for cases. It is my "go to" when working on briefs and arguments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

James, thanks so much for taking the time to review Casetext! This feedback is very helpful. We don't currently offer jury instructions on our platform, but we will let our team know there is interest! We have put together a Free and Affordable Law Firm Tools guide that has some resources on jury instructions. To read it, use the link connected to this response ("See how Casetext improved").

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Casetext has the research resources that I need to win my cases. The searches are smart enough to catch relevant sources that I might not have found otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

When you search using a term and the results yield cases with the relevant passage displayed, you can't open the relevant passage in a new tab. I'm submitting a feature request and it should be easy to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Casetext provides me a viable alternative to the big names at a more competitive price point. It provides services equal to the competitors; I know I'm getting comparable results with my research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Groff of CoCounsel

Josh, we really appreciate this review. Thank you! I'm also very excited to confirm that this feature now exists: now you can open a relevant passage in a new tab. Just right-click the passage in your results, and then select "Open Link in New Tab." (The option might have slightly different wording in different browsers.) Then a new tab will open to the relevant passage!

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Having long been a user of Westlaw, Casetext offers a fast and accurate means of researching cases, with a speed that will shock you if you are used to waiting for the chugging away of prior services.

What do you like best about CoCounsel?

I love that I can use a statement or a question as my "search" and Casetext provides relevant and accurate results. It's saves me so much time to research particular issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I wish I could narrow my search to specific terms in Black's Law Dictionary in Casetext but I haven't been able to figure this out or it isn't possible yet. I'll keep trying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a solo practitioner, it is critical I can save time when researching issues. I need my research to be efficient and effective. Casetext delivers. I LOVE that I can upload a pleading and Casetext will complilenall cases cited and I can download all cases at once for my reading pleasure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
