Massive improvements in technology produced more legal practice management options for lawyers to choose from. While that’s certainly a great thing, it can also create a feeling of overwhelm as law firms try to find the best solution to meet their needs.
In our TrialWorks review, you’ll learn more about the program, its key features for law firms like yours, what we really like about the program, and we’ll give you our verdict. Our goal is to provide you with enough information to help you as you find the right practice management option for your office.
TrialWorks Overview
We’ll begin our TrialWorks review with a scan from 100,000 feet. TrialWorks is a case management program that caters specifically to the needs of litigation-focused law firms. It can be hosted on-premise (on your own in-house server) or in a private cloud.
TrialWorks was actually created by experienced trial attorneys who needed something that would better meet their needs, specifically focusing on litigation and managing the details of each case.
Although it is now owned by the same parent company that owns Needles, the program itself has been in existence (as well as frequently updated to add and improve features) for more than 20 years. It provides trial lawyers with case management features they need and includes seriously impressive litigation-specific features.
However, TrialWorks is not an accounting or bookkeeping program (the good news is that this program integrates with many of the greats relied on by law firms).

What We Like about TrialWorks
The Uptime Verdict
TrialWorks is a fantastic product boasting incredible features that are designed for use by law firms that focus on litigation.
We recommend it to any trial law firm looking for more portability, centralized docketing that complies with state rules, and who basically wants just one program to track everything related to litigation. It integrates with some of the most popular bookkeeping and medical records providers relied on by the legal industry.

Better in the Cloud
Although TrialWorks can work on-premise, it provides you with more portability, better privacy, better support, and better data security if it is hosted from a private cloud.
But be careful: Not all private clouds are created equal. Cloud hosting is a bit of a Wild West at the moment, with plenty of fly-by-night providers (unfortunately). Be sure to do your homework.
