Very good. I have found cases and research results that have been critical to research projects assigned to me and which were not found on Westlaw.

Pros

It contains cases and opinions that are not found on Westlaw and as such, is a necessary compliment to Westlaw.

Cons

The interface generally is not as neat and user-friendly as Westlaw, and the options to narrow search results are not as helpful as those offered on Westlaw.

I've used this program for 2 years managing multiple databases.

Pros

The search function uses very familiar Boolean and connectors. The databases are massive, and associated programs like statenet at the best in the biz.

Cons

Since the company is constantly innovating, there are features to complex to be apparent and seem to go overlooked.

Overall Lexis has been around and I could not imagine my law practice without its services. I highly recommend this service over the others because you get more security and services for a little more money.

Pros

The ability to read up to date case law and see whether courts in the future have used that same law and logic is unbeatable. I could not have the same sense of security in my client's cases without Lexis. It helps me negotiate a settlement quicker and if I can save time, then no matter the settlement I am satisfied.

Cons

The price is too high. You have to bring in clients each month to make sure you are getting your moneys worth. But I often just read cases from other courts just for fun and my personal knowledge which supplants my mild annoyance at the price for the services.

The research results were fine, but Lexis overbilled me for years and wouldn't fix the problem.

Pros

I like the Shepardizing feature the most.

Cons

I dislike the cost of the software, especially the billing

Reasons for choosing Lexis

Familiarity with the product.

I mainly use Lexis as the first resource for researching addresses, phone numbers and relatives, since it is the quickest way to come up with the historical data and relationships. Then I cross verify the results with other resources.

Pros

The ability to look up phone numbers, current and historical addresses, and the addresses of relatives and associated persons, as well as business registration information.

Cons

Results can be messy and confusing with multiple people showing up. Filtering down is a necessity. The philanthropic searches are not as up to date or comprehensive as other software.

When my firm dissolved, they would not accept proof of dissolution and attempted to sue us for the full price of the contract even through we would have gone to a lesser term by default under the terms of our contract. I finally had to get a lawyer involved to resolve the issue. If they hadn't been so expensive, I may have stayed with them in my new practice.

Pros

Software is easy to use, has a good search engine. Natural language search is easy and typically funds results quickly, and narrowing the field is simple.

Cons

Compared to other programs this product is more expensive and is not superior for the price differential.

Reasons for choosing Lexis

This is what we always used from the start of my practice.
