What's good
- Been in the market since the 1980s, so it handles traditional legal workflows that newer tools sometimes miss
- Calendar and docket rules engine is comprehensive with built-in court rules
- Trust accounting is mature and reliable
- Cloud version available for firms migrating from on-premise
What's not
- Interface feels a generation behind Clio, PracticePanther, or Smokeball
- No client portal, no intake forms, no eSignature, no mobile app — missing major modern features
- G2 rating of 3.4 is the lowest in the category, with users citing outdated UX and slow support
- Parent company AbacusNext has had mixed reviews about customer service and billing practices
