Pros I use every day. It is very easy to use. I can upload all important case documents and review them at a later date. Don't know what I'd do without it!

Managing Partner Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Getting Filevine up and running" September 3, 2021 5.0 Pros we moved from no file system at all to , and are about 2 weeks in to using the system. so far, our favorite aspect of the software is that we now have almost all case information in front of us when working on a file, from intake through resolution. Cons Implementation was very difficult and time consuming. The software is very customizable, however my experience was that we really didn't know what it was going to look like/function until it went live. We are a few weeks into using it, and there are still many aspects that need to be completed before we can fully use the system. Reason for choosing Filevine We liked the layout of the product and its customizability. Review Source Daniel C. Systems Administrator Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Was exactly the fit we were looking for and seems to constantly be adding new features." February 16, 2018 5.0 Pros The best thing about this product is the fact that it's fully web-based. Gone are the days of needing a beefy back end and/or an SQL server to host the databases. Now all of your data is secure and in the cloud for easy access for attorneys and their staffs. Cons The biggest con with this software was the setup. They sold us on a seamless integration, which is never the truth, with a dedicated handler. To put it plainly, our installation was not pretty. Lots of delays and having to really push to have certain items exported from our former client management system and entered into the proper fields within theirs. Was it worth the headache of making the move, absolutely, however it could have been handled much better in my opinion. Review Source CAM Clarence A. M. Client assignment specialist Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Filevine Thoughts" April 2, 2024 5.0 Wonderfully please with . Has also improved over the years. Pros It rarely has outages. Also they keep you informed of new implementations Cons The color theme is bland. Needs to have some more "pop" to it. Review Source Response from Filevine May 31, 2024 Thank you for leaving your review, Clarence! We're excited to continue growing alongside you! ER Eric R. CEO Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game Changing Software" March 17, 2021 5.0 I used TrialWorks for over 11 years with my prior firm and started my new practice with it. Within a couple months I demoed multiple other case management software's for my personal injury practice. was by far the most superior out of all of the choices. I am very pleased with the Filevine. Pros The software allows you to have a birds eye view of everything going on in the cases in my office. It also allows me to run excellent reports and manage teams efficiently and effectively. Cons The email integration is not the most ideal, but it has gotten better. Sometimes the document generation is slow. Alternatives considered [8am CasePeer](https://www.capterra.com/p/156217/CASEpeer/)[Actionstep](https://www.capterra.com/p/139923/Actionstep/)[SmartAdvocate](https://www.capterra.com/p/131579/SmartAdvocate/)[CaseCloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/115111/AdvoLogix/)[Litify](https://www.capterra.com/p/160393/Litify/) Reason for choosing Filevine felt the most logical and intuitive and had everything that I needed to run a personal injury practice. Switched from [TrialWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/2599/TrialWorks/) I wanted a more modern cloud-based software that allowed me to manage a high volume of cases and run reports to make sure the cases were being handled and resolved efficiently and effectively.

Legal Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Build Your Perfect System" September 13, 2021 4.0 Pros I like that you are able to make changes within to reflect how you want your company/employees to operate. The software is like building blocks, so there are many different ways to configure your company system. The customer service individuals are also very helpful whenever there are questions or problems with the software. Cons It can be difficult to figure your way through the software by yourself and when first transitioning to the software, the learning process is very time consuming. Review Source SD Scott D. lawyer Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not ready for prime time" February 8, 2022 2.0 Its as shame because could truly be great. But they do not seem to focus on meeting their customers needs. Pros is very customizable. It is very easy to ad documents to the system from outside sources and its reporting capabilities are pretty good. Cons The customer service is useless. They will not talk with you. You have to send them a detailed message and then they eventually respond with a vague response that does not address the problem. Load time to view documents is extremely slow. They refuse to connect with third party PDF software so they can make more money charging you for their clunky PDF software that does not work. Using their document assembly system is cumbersome because they do not have merge fields. It is extremely difficult to customize the system. There is more but there is not enough space to describe all the cons. Reason for choosing Filevine The belief that would live up to its expectations Review Source JR Jennifer R. Intake Specialist Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easier to use than Ad\*\*\*\*\*" April 2, 2024 5.0 I am excited to use .

Litigation Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GREAT Document Management" March 28, 2024 5.0 As a person who has used a multitude of document management systems, is probably one of the easiest, especially for someone who might not have any experience with document management because it is very user friendly Pros How versatile it is. How you can save files directly from your email Cons I honestly can't think of anything I just did not like.

It's number of strong points are increasing." January 30, 2016 5.0 The PI department in my firm (my department) has used for about two years now. I think we were one of its first users. My firm also uses Clio. Clio has some real strengths in trust accounting and thinks like that. But Clio doesn't hold a candle to Filevine when it comes to communication. Filevine absolutely shines in the area of communication. That is an area where Clio and other practice managers fail. The Filevine Feed give unparalleled team cooperation and collaboration opportunities. Clio notes and tasks are combersome and my firm kind of ignores that feature. Filevine notes and tasks are the central feature of Filevine (imo) and it shows that the development team built it with team communication as the central goal. It is the only software that my office has ever used where I have been able to convince my staff to consistently take notes on what is happening in the case. I can think of at least four times in the last year where there was a dispute with the court, and insurance company, or a client about what we said or did. We pulled up Filevine, showed them our time-stamped notes and won the day. I also love, love, love the text-to-file feature. We can assign a private texting number to each client. The clients text directly into their case feed where I team can respond in text back. Clients can text pictures to that number, and Filevine will save them to the documents folder. If i am on the go, and I need to get a copy of a client's documents, I will often just take a picture of them and text them to the client's Filevine number. The texting feature means that texts aren't fragmented between different telephones. It means I can monitor communication between my team and my client. It means that we can reduce time-wasting phone calls by answering concise texts when we are ready. Clients really seem to love it. In all fairness, Filevine is still rough in a couple of areas. I have spoken with the developers, and I know that they are working around the clock to bring new functionality and to make existing functionality more elegant. I personally don't mind software that still has room to grow as long as it has a team that is excited about making it grow. I think Clio has that kind of a team too. I know that Filevine does. Anyway, it is worth taking a look at it. I know the Filevine team also spends a lot of time onboarding you with customization for your own firm. It is kind of cool. Review Source CC Chelsea C. Legal Assistant Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great File System " April 8, 2021 5.0 has made it much easier and simpler to organize cases and keep up with what phase they are in / recent activity made within the cases. Pros I like the project feed feature most as it helps make it much easier to keep up with the flow and organization of our cases. Cons I don't like the editing PDF feature because it is difficult to use, I usually use Adobe PDF to edit PDFs instead of . Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) My employer found that would be much easier to use and keep organized. Review Source BB Brian B. Managing Member Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Filevine Review" September 9, 2021 5.0 Pros Task management, customized reports, contacts much improved with latest updates. Cons Feed too cumbersome, Task reminders only show original task in email, not any updates. Also, cannot see who posted the note unless you open it. Activities are not listed in chronological order.

Principal Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Functional and Reliable" May 4, 2021 5.0 The system has been very beneficial for our purposes. We have not fully implemented and utilized the billing and settlement features. Pros The Software was integrated into our law practice with all the modifications we needed. It provides features that allow us to maintain all our client information in one system with designated users. This software even allows us to fax, text and receive messages from clients, providers and others through our mailroom feature. It is truly an innovative expandable package with good technical support for any purpose. Cons Integration into our business was an extended process requiring our personal involvement. The least likeable feature thus far is the import of external files from outside the system. Reason for choosing Filevine Gat reviews by other attorneys. Switched from [8am MyCase](https://www.capterra.com/p/115613/MyCase/) We needed a more rigorous and individualized system. Review Source LS Lynsey S.
