Firm Administrator Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software; billing needs help" April 22, 2021 5.0 FileVine has been a vital addition to our company and we love it! Pros The ease of use is by far the nicest aspect of the software. I also like how frequently the product is improved and new features are added. Cons As a law firm, the billing, timekeeping, and invoicing could use more flexibility like the rest of the software; i.e. being able to export as an excel spreadsheet or word document; allow for more malleability with tracking dollars and hours and utilizing those factors in reporting; being able to view by hours or by dollars. Etc. Alternatives considered [netDocShare](https://www.capterra.com/p/204419/netDocShare/) Reason for choosing Filevine We appreciated the affordable cost for our small business as we grow.

It's very easy to use. Has amazing features. It comes in handy when you're not close to a computer you could just log on in your phone. Cons To be honest I haven't encountered any difficulties throughout the time we have been using this case mgmt. software. Switched from [8am CasePeer](https://www.capterra.com/p/156217/CASEpeer/) In our opinions Casepeer was little difficult to use compared to Filevine. Review Source VT Valeria T. Case/Claims Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall, Great software!" March 12, 2020 5.0 I love it! It makes it so easy to stay organized and so easy to catch up when you've been away from the office a day or two weeks! I am able to keep up with my work and calling clients. It's just a great software overall. Would not switch from this! Pros I love that you can assign and change deadlines for tasks. I love that it's setup like a facebook profile page for each client. I love that it's easy to use! The best part is being able to make reports on your data. Cons I can't think of anything negative about this software. every function has it's purpose and each purpose is very valuable to the case.

I appreciate the many tabs that can be created for what ever we need. The avenues are endless with Filevine. Pros Filevine is so simple to use and we appreciate the ability to create projects for anything the firm needs. I particularly like the report builder. Cons Sometimes there are glitches but for the most part it is a quality dependable product. Support is always ready and able to resolve any issue we may encounter. Switched from [Clio](https://www.capterra.com/p/105428/Clio/) Firm decision. We needed something that could go beyond what we had been using @ the time. So glad we switched. Review Source KW Kimiko W. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lots of love for FV" February 26, 2021 5.0 Pros I love the functionality and how customizable Filevine is. Everything can be customized. The text features are great too, it's always so nice to be able to read back and reference texts between the client and attorney or the client and myself. Cons We set it up a couple of years ago and it was a bit of a learning curve to get it the way we wanted it; but once you know how it all works it gets much easier. Review Source AE Ana E. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Filevine Review" August 29, 2022 4.0 Definitely useful and great to use. Pros Everything is all together and easy to find. Tasks are always updated and good to keep up with. Cons There are a lot of days with it going down and unusable, and there are a few days that there are lags or issues. But it is getting worked on. Review Source GC Gloria C. Legal Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Case Management System" March 17, 2021 5.0 I enjoy using Filevine. It has allowed for our office to become really productive. Pros What I like the most about this software is the bcc email address associated with each project. I can bcc the filevine project and it will appear in the activity for that project. Cons I think I need more involvement in what roles actually do for our firm. Switched from [Dropbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Filevine works with our firms practices better. Review Source LL Lola L. Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great System " April 5, 2024 5.0 Pros it is very user friendly and easy to use. Cons there is not much that I don't like about it. Review Source Response from Filevine April 24, 2024 Thank you for leaving your review, Lola! EA Ed A. owner/attorney Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "THIS IS A SALES PITCH AND NOT A PRODUCT -- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MIGRATE DATA TO THEM" May 17, 2021 1.0 The worst part is the total lack of customer service. It might as well not exist. I am convinced that it is better to stay with an older case management system and embrace its flaws than it is to switch to Filevine. Look also at how many users have to hire independent implementation consultants to make anything happen. The implementation timeline and costs are therefore very dishonest. If there were a class action suit against them I would happily join it. Pros It seemed like a highly customized and intuitive interface. I wanted to be able to ditch a server and have an integrated practice management system, and one I could use through the web. Cons After a very detailed questionnaire about your practice, the delays piled up one after the other. Mid-April becomes mid-May and then July or August. It feels like outright fraud. Look at the reviews or the Filevine users Facebook page. Only people who start a new firm with no files have a good experience at implementation. If you decide to get this, you should insist on NOT paying until you are up and running. They will lie to you about the timeframe and about what can be customized. They will. Alternatives considered [8am CasePeer](https://www.capterra.com/p/156217/CASEpeer/) Reason for choosing Filevine The interface seemed superior Review Source RB Robert B. Partner Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent So Far " September 29, 2020 5.0 The Filelvine training and transition is extremely well organized. The customer support is exceptional. They are proactive and knowledgeable and pleasant. The resources are endless and on point and readily available and they understand how to communicate and train busy lawyers and staff. Basically Filevine is the New England Patriots in their prime and TrialWorks is the Cleveland Browns at their worse. Pros Its is extremely well organized with advanced capabilities that exceed TrialWorks by a great margin. The customer support is night and day. TrialWork was a cluster fudge. Filevine is like the extremely well run and proactive and knowledgeable and pleasant. Basically Filevine is the New England Patriots in their prime and TrialWorks is the Cleveland Browns at their worse. Cons Nothing so far. The customer service is excellent - and nothing we have encountered so far is anything less. Reason for choosing Filevine Filevine is is extremely well organized with advanced capabilities that exceed TrialWorks by a great margin. The customer support is night and day. TrialWork was a cluster fudge. Filevine is like the extremely well run and proactive and knowledgeable and pleasant. Basically Filevine is the New England Patriots in their prime and TrialWorks is the Cleveland Browns at their worse. Switched from [TrialWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/2599/TrialWorks/) Because Trialworks had terrible customer service and an inferior product and they over blow it. Review Source CB Christa B. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy transition from antiquated case management software to FV" March 17, 2021 5.0 I feel like I have a better grasp of what's going on with any given file. That being said, the files are only as good as the information put in them, so documentation is key. Pros Having come from an old, antiquated case management system, I love the diary aspect the most. I can make notes/tasks and easily refer back to them. My favorite feature is the text and e-mail option -- I literally had to cut and paste e-mail and paste to a Word document so they were accessible to all. I love being able to sort my tasks by complete or incomplete and also sort via hashtags. Cons I wasn't involved in the integration. If I'm making an entry and want to check information elsewhere on FV, I have to open a new tab or save that info and return and edit it. While this isn't hard to do, it's a little cumbersome. When working with liens, I'd like more options such as payors and corresponding amounts. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Operations Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Headache after headache" February 14, 2022 1.0 We feel we were misled in the way filevine would work for our Criminal Law. It is not something that will work at all with it so we stopped that part of the build. For our PI side of things, it would be amazing if it worked consistently and we didn't need support (who doesn't get back to you in a timely fashion, now on day 4 waiting for them to get back to me on an issue) Pros When things are working properly, it is seamless and work gets done. Cons We are constantly losing sync with our add on's. We can't get support to return emails, help us on chat and we have no way to call them. Reason for choosing Filevine We trusted they were being truthful to us. Review Source HM Hailey M. Legal Assistant Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Filevine Review" April 2, 2024 5.0 Overall it has been an exceptional experience. Pros Easy to use. Everything needed to manage a case is there. Cons Crashes and takes a while to load sometimes. Review Source Response from Filevine May 31, 2024 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, Hailey! MS Mitchell S. Office Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Filevine for Case Management" April 28, 2021 5.0 Once you figure out how to best use Filevine for your particular business I feel this to be a great case management product. Would highly recommend. Pros Purchased product in December 2018. Once it was determined how best to utilize Filevine has become indispensable. User friendly. Checks all the boxes for what we had hoped it would accomplish for our firm. Cons The only negative to speak of was the rollout itself. Not alot of guidance back when we purchased the product. Finding our way around Filevine for implementation was pretty much left to us. Review Source VV Vonda V. Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Filevine" September 8, 2021 3.0 Too soon to tell. So far, frustrated. Pros Medical / treatment tabs help keep track of medical specials. Cons It's so different from Client Profiles and there are a lot of features missing that we were used to using. Switched from [Clio](https://www.capterra.com/p/105428/Clio/) The attorney made the decision because he thought it was more Personal Injury friendly to use. Review Source Response from Filevine September 10, 2021 Hi Vonda, I'm sorry to learn about your frustration in switching over to Filevine. At Filevine, we strive to create products that simplify legal work, but sometimes we learn we are falling short.

Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficiency " April 30, 2021 5.0 I am able to manage more cases as an attorney because of this software and live a less stressful life. Pros I like the way this softwares allows you to pull reports to your liking and allows you to cutimize the reports. I am a big fan of the mobile app. Simply things like being able to text from the software is a huge help and lastly the interface is amazing. Cons I would like it to be easier to edit documents right from FV , but maybe there is a way and I am not sure of it. Switched from [TrialWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/2599/TrialWorks/) I heard good things Review Source TK Tyler K. Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "review " March 18, 2020 4.0 I like it. But it isn't a perfect 10 product. Pros that the system does update, that the company does work on it. Cons its isn't as user friendly as it could be with changing things about the practice areas. it does take a significant amount of work to dig into the weeds to figure out how to auto-generate documents.

JL Jane L. Case Manager Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Filevine is the Bomb Diggity" April 13, 2021 5.0 It is awesome and perfect! We love it! Pros The integration - being able to fax, save as a PDF, preview and rename documents, & send secure documents (such as contracts via Vinesign) directly from the case is amazing and saves me more time than I could have ever imagined. Not to even mention texting directly from the case and a secure email address that delivers right to the case, and settin gup the TASK list... Filevine has become part of my daily life - I come from a Needles CMS platform and Filevine was so easy to learn! Cons Probably the Mailroom - not because of anything you guys did or did not so, but because it's always full! :) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Of Operations Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommend the product and it continues to improve." January 24, 2019 5.0 Overall the product works great and has a ton of functionality that integrates extremely well with the personal injury practice that uses it. The text messaging function within the application has also been a huge game changer for the practice. Pros What I liked most about this software was that it allows for a fully web-based environment for the users that we don't need to support and back up. Cons What I like least about this product is that it still does not offer a proprietary application that can be used on mobile devices. Review Source ED Erica D. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Litigation Case Management Software I have used" September 17, 2021 5.0 Pros Software is user friendly and easy to modify to meet our specific needs based upon file types, etc. Cons Would like to see the tabs on the left side work better together with each other, pull information from one another so that data doesn't have to be updated in more than one location within a file. OCR features are still limited, not functional on all PDF documents. Would be nice to have a tab for client correspondence so that it's not just a search of the feed to find prior conversations. Review Source JR Jared R. Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Product Does Not Deliver Promised Features" February 17, 2020 1.0 Filevine bills itself as an upstart, client-oriented company. Whether it is growing pains, or it is just making promises it cannot deliver, I do not appreciate being sold a product that does not work as promised. Had I known that Filevine was never going to be able to sync with Dropbox, I would not have bought it. Pros The system of tracking deadlines and calendaring events may be useful for folks who are disorganized without it. Cons Filevine was sold to me as a product that would "sync" with Dropbox, but it does not, in fact "sync" in real-time with Dropbox. Because my filing system uses Dropbox and I was unwilling to stop using Dropbox, I insisted that any management software be compatible with Dropbox. I was promised that Filevine would sync with my Dropbox files, but it does not. Reason for choosing Filevine Filevine representatives promised that it would work effortlessly and sync with Dropbox. Review Source Response from Filevine February 20, 2020 Hi Jared, we apologize for any frustration the lack of Dropbox integration options have caused. While we do have some options available, we know they did not meet your needs. Our product offering and integrations evolve through time and we are truly sorry to hear how these changes negatively affected you. We appreciated working with you for as long as we have and wish you all the success in the future. PW Patricia W. Litigation Paralegal Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonderful!" April 27, 2021 5.0 I especially like that it's web based and accessible anywhere. Seeing what everyone has done on the project/file is beneficial and the search options are great. Pros It's easily customizable. If we need something updated or added due to a change in precedent or process, our team is able to update easily. Everything I need, especially precedents, are saved and accessible in the system. Cons The feed. I don't need to see email's I've sent or received in my feed. I also don't need to see faxes that were "successful", only need to see faxes that did not go through, failed, busy, or no-answer, so I can re-try or send another way.
