“I work in a small IP law firm with three partners, and myself as the office manager. This software works great for a firm of our size. It’s easy to use and can hold a good amount of matters (we should be able to grow quite a bit, while still being able to use PCLaw). The daily entry of time, expenses, etc. is very easy once set up.”

“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. One small drawback, while it possesses many features, it could be a little more user-friendly.”

“I like the interface he interface for time-keeping and billing. Overall, PCLaw is very user-friendly, and was easy to adopt across our law office. I can’t say there’s anything I really dislike, though I do wish that the contact forms were more customizable.”
