Pros

“I enjoy Caret Legal, and how it allows us to stay connected to our caseload outside of the office or at my desk.”

Brooke R.

Paralegal

“I really like the seamless workflow in CARET Legal that extends from time tracking to prebilling and then to finalized billing.”

Crissy D.

Accounting Manager

“They switched to outsourced tech help happened several years ago - back then, customer service was quite helpful, and now, a simple issue can have multiple tickets, threads, and just general messy communication that seems to drag out and prolong issues.”

Natalya M.

Chief Operating Officer

Pros

“How it integrates with Quickbooks online and allows me to more easily deposit into trust and make payments from trust on invoices.”

Jessica P.

Billing Manager

“Simple and effective time tracking and billing”

William W.

Sole Practioner

“They helped me very quickly and confidently launch my solo law practice in 2017. When I relaunched the practice in 2020, all of my information was restored automatically.”

Kevin L.

Founder

Cons

“I do not like that it does not have the ability to expand text as in Amicus and that Caret does NOT sync People with Outlook contacts and does not have the ability to mark emails sent from Caret as Important (or Confidential etc).”

Donna D.

Managing Partner

“You can’t build them on your own and have to rely on their team to compile everything, which limits flexibility and can slow down access to the insights you need.”

Kayla R.

Office Manager and Paralegal

“Frequent issues, calendar items disappear from calendar, emails won't save to the matters and billing issues. ”

C M.

Owner

Cons

“The Quickbooks integration can be difficult to navigate, and anytime you need to make a change to an invoice, you have to do so in QBO.”

Alessandra R.

Firm Administrator

“This is frustrating b/c I often deal in 0.25 or 0.75, and it means I have to go back and edit and change a bunch of entries which is a waste of my time.”

Astrid M.

Barrister and Solicitor

“When I click on matters, it instantly only shows me the cases that I am linked to but I would prefer to just see all of the firm's cases instead.”

Melissa L.

Office Manager
