What do you like best about PCLaw®?

That I'm FINALLY dumping it. After 6 years of use, I am FINALLY getting something that works! (the ONLY actual positive thing is that it is local and not cloud based) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCLaw®?

Constant crashes. But the WORST aspect is that the user interface is as elegant as a slaughtered hog. The coding is amateurish (windows dont fit in their own spaces, buttons are displaced, it looks like it was designed by random homeless people. When you DO navigate to the right screen, you still cant access all you need ... nope. Go load a different screen to load a message. Want to look at "phone messages" DONT click on "phone messages", you can only (kindof) take a message.

It. Is. Horrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The outdated entries. You have to click on every box to enter information and every box comes up with a new box. It is time consuming and I don't like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Billing entries that don't have to be submitted on paper first. The amount of reports that you can run is beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCLaw®?

Its functionality and effectiveness. It's great for my work - in a law firm setting. Helps us keep client files organized, billing in one place and easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCLaw®?

It does have glitches at times. The program has frozen on me many times where I've had to then restart the program or my computer to get it to work again. The option to print shorter ledgers should be available or easy to find if it is available because sometimes I am printing out 8/9 pages of a ledger when I only needed the most recent entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PCLaw®:

Best tool available for any law firm/office. The last firm I worked at did not use PC Law and it was much less organized. PC Law does everything for you even billing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCLaw® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many benefits of PC law in my work place. We are able to stay organized. We are able to access how much clients owe us, how much money remains in their trust balance. It is easy to see all this when we print out our ledgers. We communicate a lot just by printing out the ledgers highlighting the important parts and passing it on to another co-worker.

What do you like best about PCLaw®?

I like that I can keep track of clients, easily look up client information and review outstanding accounts easily.

I also like that the software produces reports efficiently to address various concerns or questions a lawyer or client may have. It also has the ability to produce clearly detailed invoices.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCLaw®?

When it comes to adjusting invoices it is a little difficult to do.

When invoices are adjusted through the RTF format, it is hard to figure out how to save these adjusted invoices in the PC Law system.

If you are a beginner, it is hard to figure out the software at first. It takes a while to learn the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCLaw® solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is used for invoicing, file management, accounting and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCLaw®?

It's an all in one matter and client management, accounting and billing software. The program has so many functions that covers all areas in a law firm's accounting management. However, should you have to pick the best feature out of the many. then the customer support will probably top the list as they are one of the best support teams I've dealt with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCLaw®?

There are, however, quite a few issues with PCLaw. While it possesses so many features, it definitely is not as user friendly as it seems. There are way too many buttons and a lot of setup is required to use PCLaw efficiently. A regular end-user would probably have to go through some training and demos in order to get used to all the features.

In addition, depending on the size of your database, calling information over a networked environment may take some time if your network and hardware infrastructure is not up to the task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PCLaw®:

Definitely request some demos and training to get used to PCLaw as it will be very helpful in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCLaw® solving and how is that benefiting you?

As it consolidates many programs into one, it saves on licensing fees for multiple programs and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
