I have used it for over 20+ years and when it was working it worked well. But as I said it has now been replaced with cloud based software.

Pros

I respect that it was an innovator in its time

Cons

It is now obsolete and no longer offers IT Support

My overall experience with PCLaw has been positive. I appreciated how the system brings together client matter management, trust accounting, billing, and financial reporting in one centralized platform.

Pros

It integrates time tracking, billing, and trust accounting into a single, easy-to-use platform. It’s designed specifically for law firms, so everything from matter management to client trust compliance, is tailored to legal workflows.

Cons

The user interface feels a bit outdated and can be unintuitive, especially for new users.

Prior to the sale, it was an outstanding software.

Pros

PC Law used to be the gold standard for law practice matter management and accounting.

Cons

Unfortunately, PCLaw was sold, and the new owners have discontinued support and increased fees. We experienced many data inconsistencies, which could trigger Law Society problems.

Currently, we are now only using PCLaw for our historical data since migrating to a new case management system. PCLaw had a tendency to lock up causing downtime and having to manually track time and activity.

Pros

Tech support is knowledgeable and helpful. The accounting reports were detailed and useful. Separate registers and receipts for operating account and trust accounts made it easier when depositing payments or writing checks.

Cons

Biggest con of PCLaw was having to access information thru multiple screens instead of having it on one accessible screen. The parameters for creating prebills are too broad, took hours to go through and had a tendency to close out in the middle of prebilling. Experienced multiple issues several times throughout the month leading to downtime. Data would go missing, and files would have to be re-created.

Great software used by many law firms due to its user friendly software and amazing technical support.

Pros

Easy to use program that rarely had technical issues. Very dependable and user friendly. Docketing and Expenses were easy to view and edit and having the option to edit other users dockets helped when you are in charge of organizing multiple calendars

Cons

Wish there was spell check for dockets. When searching for client files sometimes it doesn't recognize their file number and you have to manually search for it.

It was an ok program and got the job done but there are easier programs out there to utilize.

Pros

It was easy to enter information into PCLaw and we used it for almost 20 years.

Cons

There were lots of bugs within PCLaw. We used it for a long time and we just accepted that these were going to be issues and would work around them. The main issue within PCLaw was with generating Ledes invoices. PCLaw did not give you the ability to generate them correctly, so I would have to go in and manually tweak all of the invoice files that it generated or sometimes completely redo them on my on outside of the software.

Reasons for choosing PCLaw

We eventually swapped away from PCLaw for another product and found it to be much easier to use. However, we used PCLaw for over 20 years and it works perfectly fine.
