SurePoint’s (formerly Rippe & Kingston) Legal Management System (LMS) is oriented towards managing the financial aspects of running a law practice, with integrated accounting and general ledger.
Small to medium-sized law firms can greatly benefit from Amicus Attorney. It provides a central repository for all case management as well as calendaring between employees and their assistants. Document automation can also greatly save employee time (requires additional configuration and setup).
It is really well suited to medium to large sized attorney firms and practices. For small firms with one or two attorneys, it can be a bit of an overkill with its many features and components. On the other hand, smaller firms could pick and choose which features or components could be used without needing to utilize the entire package.
It is very helpful with tracking our time and allows us to start a timer when working on a project to keep an accurate log.
Since it is web-based, it can be used to log into email and contacts remotely, which I have found extremely helpful on several occasions.
The phone messages are also very helpful. Amicus will populate the caller information with the caller's contact info (if stored on our system) and generates an automatic email to the individual for whom the call was intended.
Subscription based only, formerly allowed "ownership" of software with annual maintenance agreement. Software has moved to a monthly subscription where one "leases" the software from the owner, Abacus.
Software stability, can occasionally have server-level issues that require cycling of services in order to restore connectivity.
Exchange calendar sync does not warn users that sync is not occurring. After updating Active Directory password, password needs updated in Amicus Attorney. Problem being, it does not remind / alert if the synchronization is not occurring.
In the time that I have been with my firm, we have not used any other comparable software. As a result I can't compare it to anything else that is out there
For small to midsize firms, SurePoint [Legal Management System (LMS)] is 100% better than Prolaw. I have not used the latest version of Prolaw, but I have seen it and it still does not compare to ease of use and features.
