Amicus Attorney

Amicus Attorney is my favorite software. Period. I have used it for many years, and it's fun.

Avantages :

I actually look forward to pulling up the program (it reminds me of the best secretary/paralegal I have ever had). Everything is at hand, and connected to anything I need to do, whatever task is immediately at hand. It is flexible enough to accommodate interruptions in work, and powerful enough to take on every task I need to perform. When I was practicing full-time, my overhead was 30% while generally in the profession 40% to 60% was considered normal. My billing hours went up dramatically, and my family time increased commensurately. The tech support has alway been terrific. I had been practicing for several years before the personal computer was introduced, and I am not a computer wiz. When I needed tech support they were always on time and always fast and effective in sorting whatever I needed. The online tutorials are also terrific - clear and easy to follow; allowed me to use advanced features initially beyond my ability. This is a great program backed by a solid company with real integrity. I is always a pleasure to do business with them.

Inconvénients :

Paying for it, of course. Worth the money, though in increased billing hours and increased time with my family. Several years ago there was an separate accounting add-on, which I used and did not like at all. I am not sophisticated in accounting principles or software. Tech support was good, but I ended up doing it the old fashioned way (hired someone).

Worth the Investment

Avantages :

Amicus Attorney offers a comprehensive case management solution tailored for legal professionals. Its intuitive interface streamlines tasks, making law practice management significantly more efficient. While the integration features with other software are commendable, there's a slight learning curve for beginners. Nevertheless, Amicus Attorney stands out as a worthy investment for firms seeking to modernize their operations.

Inconvénients :

Ways to make some notes stand out would be helpful

Not recommended

Avantages :

One stop functionality. Decent customer service in training

Inconvénients :

Difficult to use. The firm opted out after a few months

Amicus Performance

Commentaires : I have used Amicus Attorney in the past and have always been happy with the efficiency it offers. I am the administrator and daily user of the program. The billing program is easy to use and the organization of client's files is a time saver.

Avantages :

The efficiency. The program for billing is easy to operate. The management of client's files is essential to our practice. Being able to add all contacts to a file is a time saver when working with same.

Inconvénients :

Nothing I can recall at this moment. I so far have not had a bad experience with this program.

An Aging Software

Commentaires : Overall, Amicus is a solid case management software, but given their choice to switch to a model that does not truly have their customer's best interests in mind, it was simply not a software we could continue to use or support.

Avantages :

I have used this software for over two years at the law firm I work for. Ultimately, the software does everything we need it to do and them some: track case development, client information, time spent, etc. The software served its purpose well and has kept our firm organized and up to speed with all our cases.

Inconvénients :

While we have a large database of clients and still depend upon Amicus day-to-day for our older cases, we ultimately made the switch for other case management software a year ago, for one sole reason. Price. While Abacus decided to go the route of so many other similar products and only offer a subscription-based model, this was not something that ultimately suited our needs, and we had to cut ties.
