Pros

“Advanced features include: calendaring triggers with conditional branching, user-programmable multi-practice group set-ups, fast searching, contract management support, mass emailing, support for atypical billing arrangements, client portal support, and embedded links with many types of other software.”

William W.

“Third, when I have a problem, I often get immediate attention from support, and it never takes long for a response by someone who truly knows what he is talking about.”

William W.

owner

“It assumes that the user will have high-end tech support in-house.”

William W.

owner

Pros

“It's no standard AI, the intelligence of AI Paralegal, CRM (I chat with pilot constantly), Matter Issues, Pathways, Ruffle, it's just endless the support”

Kathryn O.

Managing Partner

“For estate planning, for instance, Leap features prompts for you to fill in all family members, all heirs, all devisees, all assets of various types, all executors, all agents,...”

Brendan O.

President and Lawyer

“We have a system in place that any work that gets done on a client's file must be notated in the "Notes" section and with the Time, Save and Close feature we have found that staff is capturing more billable time. ”

Joanne C.

Assistant Office Manager

Cons

“The product lost some functionality that I was relying on when it moved from version 1.99x to 2.0x and later.”

William W.

owner

“I continue to be surprised by what I consider to be poor programing/feature choices made in the transition to a different coding platform.”

William W.

owner

Cons

“I can't save PDFs from Adobe directly to Leap even though i have the Leap add-in installed. And with Microsoft products i get recurring error messages and they sometimes get sick in a loop. But Leap's customer and tech support are very receptive to customer input and responsive to tech issues and problems.”

Brendan O.

President and Lawyer

“The only feature I miss from previous suppliers that is not done in LEAP is the ability to see, at a glance, all documents (eg. scanned) for a particular day, or all calls for a particular day.”

Rossa M.

Partner

“Integration with MS Office applications is very glitchy: saving documents into LEAP from different applications like Outlook, PDF or Word is not intuitive (small window pops up without clear destination folder).”
