User reviews
Pros
We considered other law office management systems, but I was impressed with the comprehensive nature of Abacus and it’s clear and easy system.
I love the ability to change the screens to suit our needs and the ability to create and run simply reports on my own without having to pay a fortune to have one created.
It has grown with us over the years and is consistently updated. In addition it has outstanding customer service.
Pros
Smart Advocate makes it easy to keep data updated in the case files so that everything is live and accurate. I love that we can build out the product in the way that it works great for our law firm.
The customer service is amazing and they respond quickly if you have questions. I love that they offer on line classes if you want to learn more.
I like the ability to customize the tasks and evenly distribute the workload using statuses and stages. Also, Dayhanarah is awesome.
Cons
Technical support is sad. So many of the people we get have no idea what the problems are or why the program is doing something it should not be.
This can be frustrating and annoying. When updates are made, we are not notified of the changes and must learn how to use or work around those changes.
After we upgraded, AbacusLaw has been terrible. It changed the decade from "19" to "20" in all client birth years, which will have to be corrected manually.
Cons
The problem of inefficiency corrects itself with many of SmartAdvocate's customizations and automation.

No longer being able to add a new contact from disbursements directly.
For the most part it functions well but occasionally seems to get stuck.
