Pros

“I kept a stand-alone license of Abacus (Amicus's successor) just to ensure I could access data for cases pending prior to changing case management software products. Once those cases had concluded, I decided to close down Abacus and sent a notice of cancellation.”
RK

Richard K.

Partner/Owner

“A very basic service.”
KT

Katie T.

Owner

“It asks all the right questions and requested a wealth of information on behalf of the client.”

Cons

“I have never been so disgusted by the treatment I received when I tried to cancel my service after over a decade (to move to another software IN THEIR COMPANY.)”

Owner

Cons

“It also uses outdated judicial council forms, has spelling errors, the billing and accounting is awkward and not designed how a lawyer thinks to bill a client.”

“It also seems that after Abacus was sold last year, they reduced services and even if you have a contract they want to provide less service and charge more.”

“They try to upsell you more "allocated memory" after they change the settings to make your "private cloud" not work well. ”
