Their Support is excellent and documentation is abundant. Highly recommend it. Comment Yes, I recommend this product. Cons Didn't find any negative issues. So far working as explained. Review Source AG Albert G. Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Know Your Business" November 21, 2020 5.0 Understanding who is producing, where they are producing, and who is responsible for clients all come together with QuickBooks and the bottom line. Pros It works great with QuickBooks and it tells us how we are doing for out monthly billing. Cons I am not a fan of the app on my phone. it needs to be easier to enter time. There seems to be a limit on the amount of text. Reason for choosing LeanLaw QuickBooks recommended Switched from [Tabs3](https://www.capterra.com/p/2589/Tabs3-Billing/) I wanted something that connected to my back office. Review Source HK Heather K. partner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integration with Quickbooks Nightmare" November 20, 2020 3.0 I have had no luck with customer service being on point or helpful. I would only suggest this to a company that likes QB and doesn't want integration with other programs. Pros Ease of navigation. it has some features that are helpful and would be beneficial to someone who likes QB. Cons It doesn't work well with quickbooks there are features that require work arounds to do this. As a result we are working through switching. We would keep the software maybe but the inability to work with other accounting software makes it impossible. Reason for choosing LeanLaw Not sure Review Source Response from LeanLaw November 30, 2020 As a founder of LeanLaw, I regret and take personally LeanLaw not working for a client. I have personally worked with your firm, and it a bummer to see you folks leave. I hope you know we are vigilant with our customer support, know we will be investigating your poor experiences and ensuring they are not replicated. As a company, has worked diligently on our QuickBooks integration and it would be no easy task replicating that level of integration with another accounting partner. This is why Intuit has recognized LeanLaw as a premier app in their marketplace. MS Mallory S. Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect for a Small Firm using Quickbooks" August 5, 2021 4.0 We previously had more expensive softwares and were using so few of the features because of the size of our firm. Pros I like the synchronization with Quickbooks. I also like that it is easy to apply different tax rates for different jurisdictions while time track and billing. Cons There is no ability to schedule appointments within the software. This is a feature I am very hopeful they will develop given that they already have a calendar view within Leanlaw. Reason for choosing LeanLaw Price and simplicity. Switched from [Rocket Matter](https://www.capterra.com/p/82112/Rocket-Matter/) We were not utilizing most of what Rocketmatter offered and wanted something more synchronized with Quickbooks. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" November 18, 2020 5.0 Pros The software does everything I need and meshes well with Quickbooks. Most of all, the customer service is really great! Cons Maybe an icon on my desktop would be nice. But honestly, you might already be able to do this but I haven't taken the time to figure that out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer founder Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes Quickbooks much more palatable." June 14, 2019 4.0 Overall, very pleased with LeanLaw. Good pricing. Good customer service. Pros This software has two-way integration with Quickbooks. Time entry is easy. Desktop and smartphone timekeepers are very handy (when I remember to use them). Simple to open new matters or add new clients. These then populate automatically to Quickbooks. I moved from PCLaw (then a different web-based program) and looked, at all the major and minor players. This works great for me. Cons Quickbooks billing setup is a bit clunky. But that's as much a QB problem as LL. Not a full-blown practice manager, but I knew that going in. As a result, need to keep info in both Outlook and LL/QB. Not a huge deal since my contact list is huge and my client list is infinitesimally smaller. Reason for choosing LeanLaw Two-way Quickbooks integration. Pricing. Review Source LA Lynda A. President Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My go to app for working with Law firms and QuickBooks Online" March 4, 2019 5.0 All of the law firms I work with use LeanLaw. We are even converting clients from desktop PC law to LeanLaw/QuickBooks Online. We are conversion specialists in moving law firm clients to the cloud. Pros It's ease of use. From the attorney's perspective, it is very intuitive. Produces high-quality invoices. From the Accountant's perspective, it works seamlessly with QuickBooks Online. I love the two-way sync and the billable expenses feature. Cons Nothing, the even have high-level customer service. Great app! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Partner Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple to Use and Relatively Inexpensive" March 11, 2019 5.0 Pros We switched over to LeanLaw after using CaseFox (which is low priced, but glitches often). We found LeanLaw to be easy to learn, onbaord, and incorporate into our daily practice. Cons I have heard LeanLaw does not have all the bells and whistles that some of the other legal softwares have. That did not dissuade us because we were actually looking for something simple. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Leanlaw works great for me" March 5, 2019 5.0 LeanLaw and Quickbooks Online allow me to handle all my billing, receivables, and accounting in a straightforward, understandable way. I am a sole practitioner and it saves me a lot of time with these tasks. Plus, the customer support is quick and responsive on those occasions when I need it! Pros Ease of use, customer support when needed, good integration with Quickbooks Online Cons Can't really think of anything negative. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product that's easy to use!" April 30, 2019 4.0 LeanLaw is an exceptional service that has timely and responsive customer service. Recommend highly. Pros This software is easy to use, and user intuitive. I'm just a regular user so I don't run reports, or create new files - so my use is confined to just billing clients and it couldn't be easier. Cons Occasionally there are glitches where I find my input time on a different date than I entered, however, that was easily fixed by the LeanLaw team. Review Source MK Mitchell K. Owner Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LeanLaw Review" November 24, 2020 5.0 I have really enjoyed this product. I really don't have too many complaints about this product. Pros I enjoy the ease of use and the integration with Quickbooks. LeanLaw takes the stress out of accounting for lawyers. The customer service is always excellent. Cons It's not very intuitive and there isn't a place to store client documents within the software. Alternatives considered [Clio](https://www.capterra.com/p/105428/Clio/) Reason for choosing LeanLaw It was cheaper and virtually did the same thing as Clio, minus the document storage and unneeded features for a solo-practice. Review Source KN Kelsey N. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very user friendly and helpful" February 27, 2019 5.0 I was one of the first users and have seen how the company is dedicated to improving the product as it learns more. They are always available to troubleshoot and help me. It has helped me manage my solo practice. Pros I like the timekeeping and how the invoicing links directly to Quickbook. Cons It used to link directly with Gmail and Google Drive and that isn't supported anymore. I wish it was. Review Source LH Lance H. Firm Administrator Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It's in the name: LeanLaw" February 27, 2019 5.0 LeanLaw achieves its goal in providing an efficient way to keep time and bill clients. Good, relevant reporting also helps the lawyer who uses LeanLaw not only work in the business of practicing law, but also work \*on\* the business itself. Pros The user interface is very clean and intuitive in LeanLaw. Timekeeping down to 1/10 of an hour is a great feature, and the desktop app makes it very easy to do log time for various matters. LeanLaw's integration with Quickbooks is huge, as our firm never has to draft an invoice. The reporting features of LeanLaw are good, and continue to get better. It is very easy to see revenue by attorney, revenue by client matter, productivity, and accounts receivable. There is even a report to help gauge fixed-fee profitability margins. Cons There isn't much not to like about LeanLaw when you understand what it is for. It's lean timekeeping and billing software for the lean law firm. It will never include client portals, document storage/sharing, or other such features. Review Source TY Tim Y. Owner/Principal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wish I had started using it years ago" December 10, 2020 4.0 My overall experience has been great. It has significantly reduced the time it takes to run billing each month and the timekeeping feature is very easy to use. I'm told the customer service is excellent. Pros The user-friendly nature of the product and the smooth integration with QuickBooks. Cons I don't know that we got the full customer service experience with onboarding. There were issues with our first billing cycle using LeanLaw that could have been avoided with better assistance. Reason for choosing LeanLaw n/a Review Source PA Paul A. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lean Law Saves Time and Money for Sole Practitioner" March 27, 2017 5.0 The software is easy to use, intuitive, and saves me time and money. Moving to the cloud has been the best decision I have ever made and Lean Law allowed me to do so. I highly recommend Lean Law to any firm looking for improved efficiency in timekeeping, billing and productivity. They have very responsive customer service should the need arise. Pros It is easy to use, integrates with Quickbooks for billing, allows me to access my timekeeping software from anywhere and has saved me time and money since I began using it. It is easy to use and very intuitive. Cons The online version of Quickbooks is more difficult to use than the computerized version. Review Source JP Jessica P. Billing Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lean Law Review" November 18, 2020 4.0 Been a great experience. Thank you. Pros How it integrates with Quickbooks online and allows me to more easily deposit into trust and make payments from trust on invoices. Cons If I forget to switch back from use undeposited funds account it will unevenly pay from trust and the liability account without warning. Reason for choosing LeanLaw Was the first program I came upon and it suited my needs. Review Source TT TAYLER T. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Platform" February 26, 2019 5.0 Overall it's been a great tool for my law practice. Pros I like the integration with Quickbooks and the ability to track my time effectively. Cons The Quickbooks integration is not very customizable. I've had trouble getting my trust accounting to work properly and it'd be nice to be able to customize things more on that front. Review Source HW Haile W. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Over the Moon" February 28, 2019 5.0 Pros The ease of features is my favorite thing. It is a very straight forward and easy to understand program that has been invaluable to the practice. Cons I wish there were check marked boxes next to time entries so one could select or deselect the entries that are wanted to export to excel spreadsheet. Review Source TB Thomas B. Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" November 17, 2020 3.0 Its a simple solution for timekeeping and billing but doesn't contain the reporting or features of other products. Pros The product is very easy to use and integrates well with QuickBooks. Cons The reporting functions are insufficient Alternatives considered [Rocket Matter](https://www.capterra.com/p/82112/Rocket-Matter/)[Clio](https://www.capterra.com/p/105428/Clio/) Reason for choosing LeanLaw Recommendation from accountant. Review Source MM Marie M. Business Manager Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LeanLaw is the only way to use QuickBooks Online for Law Office" November 17, 2020 5.0 We have found the company very responsive and helpful. Pros We decided to use QuickBooks Online for Attorneys and spent three months trying to make it work. Everything required "a work-around" to make it attorney-office friendly. LeanLaw puts a 'pretty face on QBO' in our CPA's words, by creating those work-arounds for you and translating everything to law office friendly language and processes. Asking for help and getting a REAL person in 5 minutes is amazing! Cons There is nothing about LeanLaw that we dislike. Review Source JL Jordan L. Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple to use and good value" February 26, 2019 5.0 Great option if you are primarily focused on billing and time entry more so than a comprehensive practice management option. Pros Ease of use (particularly timers), per license cost, continuing feature growth Cons Limited use of mobile application which does allow you to enter time for current day and open new client/matters but nothing else really. Review Source JP James P. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product " February 26, 2019 5.0 I have had a great overall experience with Lean Law. They are very customer friendly, and have incorporated a number of our suggestions. Pros The program is very easy to use, and interfaces with quick books. Cons The program still needs a little work with trust account reporting Review Source SL Steven L. Professional Legal Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I Can See The Value" November 20, 2020 5.0 I have had a very slow start with the company. I brought a great client to the table and felt let down when things fell through the cracks on landing them. When I have more leads, I will definitely bring them to LeanLaw. I believe in their product. Pros It's tailored specifically to Law Firms. It plays well with QuickBooks Online. It appears easy to understand and learn. Cons So far, I really like everything about this software! Review Source MA Mark A. Lawyer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A joy to use. Intuitive and incredibly user friendly!" July 20, 2018 5.0 Pros The program comes naturally to the least computer literate user (like me!). The people behind the product are amazing. I had a number of one on one conversation with the LeanLaw people. Each and every person I communicated with were consumer oriented. Getting a live voice each and every time I called boosted my enthusiasm for LeanLaw even more. Cons It goes to say that nothing designed by humans is perfect but I have yet to find anything that jumps out at me at this point. Review Source Response from LeanLaw January 31, 2019 Mark: for sure you are not the least computer literate person who uses LeanLaw software. So glad you're enjoying it. JG Judy G. Firm Administrator Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Saving Billing Processes" November 19, 2020 5.0 Pros Integration was quite easy. Using LeanLaw has significantly cut down the hours spent invoicing clients. It's a user-friendly interface, the customer service is excellent, and the software is cost-effective. I recommend it highly for small law firms. Cons So far, so good. I have no cons to report.
