Filevine vs MyCase: Which is a better fit?

Jacqueline: Hi, I am Jackie. I'm the office manager here at Legal Focus. We're a law firm here in Windsor, Ontario. We use Filevine and I give it a five-star review. We just used the paper methods, so we had a ton of filing cabinets and lots of boxes stored of paper, and there was no electronic storage of any of our client files. We switched over to Filevine as COVID was hitting and forcing us to work remotely, and it wasn't feasible to transfer all the paper files to the home offices. And so we looked for a file management program that would be able to be easy to use and designed for the legal industry. The upfront setup is a bit tedious because you have to scan in all of your paper files and create your projects, but once the system is set up to add a new file, it's quite simple. Filevine has a lot of capabilities, including digital signing through Vinesign and also integration with financial software, and also has a built-in billing program. So I'm suggesting that anyone thinking of using Filevine, examine their entire firm's requisites for operating, not just for file storage, but to be able to use all of the other components to make it a fulsome experience.

Amal: My name is Amal. I'm an attorney at a small law firm and I give MyCase a rating of 5-stars. Prior to using MyCase, we used to use Clio software management. Clio was just a little bit more expensive, and to get all of the features that MyCase has under one price, we had to keep upgrading and purchasing separate items. MyCase was a game changer for our estate planning and probing practice. MyCase was very user-friendly. It had a lot of features, everything that we really needed. Everything was in one place, including billing, communications with clients, document collection. And clients actually love MyCase because they have their own client portal where they can access all of their documents, upload their own, and access their invoices and other tasks on their case. Transitioning from Clio to MyCase was a very easy process. People from MyCase reached out and supervised the whole process. They walked us through kind of collecting all of the information and data they needed and transferred it over to MyCase. It was a pretty straightforward process. And just kind of starting with MyCase was very easy, as I said. It's very user-friendly. And yeah, it's very easy to use. If you are looking for a software to streamline your practice, organize your tasks, and really just keep your staff on task and calendar, MyCase is the one for you.
