Access Legal vs. Filevine

DPS Outlook Office is suitable for a business environment and would be best used by businesses without remote employees. For remote-based businesses, it would be better to look into a Google-powered office scenario.

File Vine is well-suited because I believe it was invented to assist Law Firms with document organization for the legal cases collected in a Law Firm. It is easy to navigate and find your documents with a click of a button.

I dock a few points because of the setup it requires. If someone in-house can handle that then the score goes up. It really depends on the firm and their personnel. Once it is setup though, I think anyone can get in and do what they need to do

They work together pretty well. When I have voicemails, I get an email in my inbox with it and I can even hear it on Outlook; no need to go through Genesys and hear [them] one by one. I get the phone number from where I received the call and voice mail as well.

I’ve tried Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther. Clio is super user-friendly with lots of integrations, MyCase is great for billing and communication but more limited on automation, and PracticePanther is easy to use but not as strong on reporting. Compared to them, Filevine feels more customizable and workflow-focused, though it does take more time to learn.

Incentivized

• Communication with coworkers.
• Communication with other departments.
• Communication with clients.
• Filters a lot of spam.

Incentivized

• Our intake process has been fast tracked using Filevine

• We have repurposed our front desk / reception call logger by using a custom layout
• Our attorney's have their own private projects for case lists which scripts updates to our executive management
