LexisNexis Automated Templates vs. Time Matters

The legal world- you need this program. There are plenty of other options out there, but TM is by far the best that I have used. This program works for an office of 1 to an office of 100. I have no clue how it would work in any other jobs, it is designed for legal work.

• Tie Matters handles event and to-do notifications well. This ensures that all SOL's and due dates are met.
• Time Matters does case management tasks well, including documenting cases, documenting client and opposing counsel interactions and court orders.
• Time Matters does a good job of syncing all case data to a users Outlook Calendar, to ensure todo and event notifications on a users Outlook/phone.

• The software crashes a lot.
• The plugins for Office and Adobe are unstable.
• The whole software package appears to be built for the year 1995.

There is no unpaid support. They insist on a service contract for support, either with the manufacturer, or with a re-seller.

So Juris and TM are both LexisNexis products. I dislike Juris greatly and the only thing we use it for is billing because we already had it and it was compatible with TM for billing purposes. Juris doesn't allow you any kind of document storage or management. You can make a "note" but what good does that really do me? In my opinion, Juris is good for billing only (not client management) and there are other options like QuickBooks that really outshine it.

• Time Matters has allowed attorneys to focus on research and writing, rather than wondering where a file is.
• Time Matters has allowed for more efficient communication between team members on a case.
• Time Matters has ensured hot documents are tagged and accessible.
