Pros

“Trying to get the attorneys to use it, but that is the same with any new technology and lawyers”

Barbara P.

Paralegal Office Manager

“Easy to use, handles large databases, offers a variety of features including date calculator, time management stuff, and document templates that integrate with Word.”

Doreen T.

Manger

“I wish you could highlight fields in the status section. Or make something in bold so that the important stuff jumps out.”

Doreen T.

Manger

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.”

Richard K.

Partner/Owner

“A very basic service.”

Katie T.

Owner

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

Deidre' S.

Associate Attorney

Cons

“Amicus suffers from the bane of software development: it has become a spaghetti of code that seemingly generates glitch after glitch and crash after crash as Amicus has added more features to keep up with the competition. ”

Glen T.

Principal Attorney

“They lock you into a contract and even when you honor the term of the contract and send in written cancellation they kept charging our card.”

Michael S.

Operations Manager

“We DO NOT rely on the calendar since we found it is not accurate and never synchronizes with Outlook as promised, over, and over, and over. Since being forced into a subscription based model, we have found it is no longer cost effective. ”

Terry B.

Chief Financial Officer

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.)”

Katie T.

Owner

“I didn’t like that we had a difficult time getting into our system if their system was down.”

Victoria S.

Paralegal

“I would never recommend this to any other business owner.”

Katie T.

Owner
