    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 …

    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.

    It is great for taking credit card payments, managing calendars, sharing and accepting document uploads and maintaining digital files. The app is better than nothing, however is vastly inferior to the web version. The time entries should show on the first screen whether they are marked as billable or non-billable without having to enter each specific time entry

    Pros
    Filevine
    • Customization - you can easily add sections and fields
    • Workato and Zapier integration works well - we can connect Filevine to a multitude of other platforms and services
    • Texting and faxing is available across the entire platform
    • Integration with Vinesign for e-signature completion

    • Trust accounting. This is an area of great concern as little mistakes can lead to serious consequences.
    • Client management. By posting all client documents we have significantly reduced postage and rather than getting a phone call, the clients can see what is happening in their case.
    • Scheduling. This is a great way to keep on top of calendars and a better way to avoid missing deadlines.

    Cons
    Filevine
    • The PDF document editor can be easier when trying to save changes. Make a button that says save changes, instead of save file.
    • The contacts can probably be more streamlined so that there are not multiple contacts for the same individual or business.
    • Tasks should automatically be changed to a new individual in a parallel role when the file changes teams.

    • Use of AI (should not be integrated into MyCase, especially with legal services that require a high-level of confidentiality which AI cannot guarantee)
    • Payment Reconciliation (sometimes invoices don't show up, nothing in Help Center about how to remedy)
    • Billing (doesn't consider that billing contacts for a case may change based on who can pay)

    I don't personally handle whether or not we renew our subscriptions to platforms but it's very integral to our work so I doubt we'd get rid of it

    Usability
    Filevine
    there’s a learning curve for advanced features, some functionality comes only through add-ons at extra cost, and occasional performance issues such as lag or sync glitches have been reported. Additionally, a few users note challenges with implementation and customer support responsiveness. Overall, it’s a powerful and adaptable case management tool, but not entirely frictionless, making 7–8 a fair usability score

    It is so easy to use. We've had multiple people join our team and they don't have any issues using it right away. It's also easy to use new features as they're developed. I think everyone should have and use a simple case management platform, and MyCase is my usual recommendation.

    One of the things we liked most about Tabs3 when we used that system was its support. PracticePanther was step behind in support when we switched to it, but when we switched to MyCase, it actually seems to be a step ahead of Tabs3. The chat support feature has saved me hours on dealing with issues both internally with users and externally with clients trying to navigate the client portal.

    Filevine
    Filevine is so much more detailed and extensive in terms of keeping all the information for each case in one place. I can even edit docs within filevine and combine docs and create emails and faxes right from within. I feel Filevine is an all in one stop and helps keep everything as organized as possible.

    Prior to using MyCase, my firm relied on AbacusLaw for its CRM program. I have also used Amicus Attorney prior to that. AbacusLaw and Amicus Attorney were local area network programs using an onsite computer server. I started using MyCase so that I would have an entire cloud-based legal CRM program. At the time its best competitive feature was that the program was entirely cloud-based and that online retrieval of documents and client contact information was easily retrievable. The best contribution of these features is not just improving team collaboration, but improving efficient communication with clients by allowing them online access to their case file and secure communication with the client portal. Our Intake staff uses Clio Grow as a CMS (Contact Management System) despite some intake features being added my MyCase in the past year. Clio Grow has a Kanban board interface to manage incoming leads and improve intake team collaboration. MyCase's intake feature is new and less robust and intuitive to use compared to Clio Grow (formerly Lexicata). From the beginning, G Suite has always been an integral tool for email and calendar management. MyCase offers email and calendar support but G Suite is easiest to use on multiple platforms and hardware devices compared to MyCase.

    Return on Investment
    Filevine
    • Allows much attention to detail on many cases. We can handle more cases more easily. Revenue is up for several years by at least 25%
    • Better client communication and less expensive with texting from the file. Less expense than letters. Reduction in letterhead and postage costs of at least $2000 per year. Emailed letters may not be noticed as quickly but text messages are.
    • Less time on billing. Saves on our bookkeeper tasks making it more part time and allows paralegal tasks to be added for this person increasing productivity.

    • Organization: I know where to go for my case details
    • Efficiency: I just leave a window open on one screen logged into mycase and I can instantly modify/update matter details
    • Billing: integrated credit card payments/invoice updating is nice. Invoicing is a lot easier than prior platforms I used given you can email the invoice out directly from the platform, and see when it has been viewed.
