Steve O
Owner

Steve: My name is Steve. I'm the owner of Lawyer Up Legal Services, and I rate PracticePanther a four out of five. Prior to practice Panther, I was using Clio. My problems with Clio is that it didn't have all of the integrations and solutions that I needed in one place, and it was a little bit too confusing to use. It wasn't as user-friendly. What made me use PracticePanther is number one, it was cheaper. And number two, it had a lot of the functionalities that I need to use for my firm. Bringing PracticePanther into my business initially came with some challenges in terms of transferring all my files from Clio to PracticePanther. So that part was a bit cumbersome. But once I got it integrated into my business and got all of my files and cases over, it was a pretty straightforward process. Advice that I would give for anyone getting PracticePanther is to make sure that they have a pretty seamless system for transferring their files from whatever CRM that they were using to PracticePanther. If you're using it for the first time, it's pretty simple and straightforward. The other thing I would say is to bear with the customer service. That's really the only knock that I have on PracticePanther is that they need to really improve in that department. But everything else, it's pretty easy to use.
