Director of Operations

There were too many teams, too much switching of people helping us and we were unable to rely on one person.    

Attorney

Outlaw CLM

Paralegal for Atty David C Farr

Filevine dedicates a Representative to respond to issues and questions, and connect you to the appropriate person(s) to help -- billing, training, implementation, etc.

I must say that everyone I have been in contact with at Filevine has made me feel like I am their only customer -- they value my input, and work to customize Filevine to address our practice in a one attorney and one paralegal/"everything person".  

IT support

After uploads, Vinetegrate requested CSV exports instead of the previously provided FileMaker files, requiring duplicate work and causing frustration and extra cost.

Everything is customizable, a lot of reporting features, great integrations, great task flow settings, and now the new Payments feature makes it even better.

Legal Assistant

I really like the newsfeed for each client to keep up with the communications and activity in the cases.

Managing Partner

For example, it calls cases "projects" the calendar is so bad that you must use outlook and sync with it, but anything entered in Outlook will not show-up in FV (Filevine).  

Intake Speacialist

I used to work on another firm were the tools to assist the clients and draft the different letters were very time wasting, but this app allows you to work fast and you can work your task on a timely manner

Business Development Team Leader

AI is seamlessly integrated to the platform and the software is more aligned with the technology of today.

The vendor’s dispute process was one-sided, with broad leeway to assess “cooperation,” adding risk and inconvenience for the company.

Director

The fixes that were offered came far too late, communication was inconsistent, and the third-party vendor assigned to us admitted fault, lacked expertise, and even brought in a fourth party.

I really enjoy it for case management and organization of information.

The unlimited file storage is great (no more additional Dropbox fees)!  

Intake Zar

Filevine is the best legal management system I have used during my time in the legal field.

President

They do not have any templates and do not help with setting up the system to work for you.

February 2024: The scheduled Go Live milestone was reached, but documentation does not confirm if it occurred on time.

Calls and responses were often delayed or indefinitely postponed, which added to the frustration.

FileVine is extremely overpriced for a system that is of average quality.

Chief Technology Officer

There are some limitations such as viewing multiple pictures and calendaring issues.

Chief Operations Officer

It is rare that you are able to speak with someone directly at Filevine if you want to implement a new service or need assistance with a feature.  

Case Manager

The simplicity of being able to pin important notes and add to that note in the file.

The company was required to deliver data backups to Vinetegrate.

What I appreciate most about Filevine is its efficient document management, which significantly enhances efficiency, collaboration, and compliance within legal operations.

Settlement Specialist

So many capabilities allowing you to stay w/i FV and ie share folders, send out for electronic signature, PDF edit, combine, etc.

The company was held responsible for technical tasks that were expected to be vendor-managed.

You value its diverse range of features, such as centralized document management, collaborative case notes, efficient billing and invoicing, well-organized contact database, effective time and expense tracking, streamlined electronic signatures, and strong security and compliance measures.

These functionalities collectively enhance workflow efficiency, promote better communication and collaboration, improve financial management, and contribute to heightened client satisfaction.

Managing Attorney

All the features and settings that are done by the user with other software has to be done with a programmer.  

Subrogation Specialist

It is easy to navigate and having the ability to customize the platform to our firms needs has been critical.

I found it to be very difficult to learn and unless you have an in house amazing tech person like we do, I would not even consider it.  

Owner

Bad fit for small firms (but they won’t tell you that).

Director of Finance and Human Resources

We have found that Filevine can be slow or kick users out more often than other websites.

Records Clerk

I wish documents, once saved to file, could be re-ordered manually, rather than just relying on their order of upload as the only way of sorting them within an area of Filevine.

Working in the cloud is easy with fast internet and small files (documents and such)

It is extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate.

They upsell to their sister company to set it up.

The idea of a software with a good activity feed and fluid use.

partner

They were not responsive to our problems.

Office Manager

The ability to customize it specific to the type of law and the firm's unique procedures.

Paralegal

not being able to copy tab information from related projects (ex. insurance tab, case summary)

Managing cases and the dozens of documents, emails, records, etc., is so much easier with Filevine.

attorney

You need to pay for services that other products provide for free, like training or customer service or tweaks to the set up.
