LawToolBox Reviews

Law Tool Box is a reliable docketing program that is easy to use. An added plus is the links to state and federal rules of civil procedure.

Deadlines do not automatically synch to your calendar without the use of Office 365. I would like to see improvements with the deadline "hide" feature.

This product makes it easy to keep track of deadlines and be in compliance

n/a - I have no cons for LTB. It does what it is supposed to do.

It is easy to set up a case with expedited setup. Can do regular setup if needed. The dates calculate accurately. I like the reminders send to Outlook.

No way to make a deadlines chart for a period of time showing only cases for one attorney, and exclude all the other attorney's cases. Wish I could track the same Complaint served on multiple defendants and their individual deadlines for Answers and account for any Extensions of time granted a bit more easily. Right now I just manually make a deadline for each, or edit those I input prior. Wish I had "Date of Mediation" among the other trigger dates. Wish I knew how to create custom reports filtered for my attorney and her cases.

After hand calculating deadlines for many, many years, I am very happy to have been introduced to LTB. It saves an incredible amount of time, is very easy to use, and makes recalculating deadlines so easy. It also has a lot of great forms and if you ever have a question, customer service responds quickly, is extremely knowledgeable about their product and gets the problem fixed.

The real estate calculator doesn't help our firm much and we have contacted LTB who is working on some changes so that we can use it in the state of Colorado.

It automatically generates deadlines and puts them in outlook. This makes my job function quicker and easier since I don't have to populate the dates after a Complaint is filed.

It populates deadlines that I don't always need. The attorneys don't want unnecessary deadlines clogging their outlook calendars.

Thank you for your review! In response to your comment, "It populates deadlines that I don't always need. The attorneys don't want unnecessary deadlines clogging their outlook calendars", this is actually one of the top features that sets us apart from all other docketing solutions. In LawToolBox you have the ability to hide ANY deadline that does not apply to your case. Even better, you can now set a template that automatically hides the deadlines every time you set up a case, so you don¿t have to hide them individually every time. If there is one instance where an automatically hidden deadlines applies, you can just reactivate in that one case. Hope this helps! Thank you for being a valued LawToolBox customer!

It takes the guess work out of calendaring and provides peace of mind. It is easy to use and easy to teach others.

We do not have Integrated Deadlines and I don't like how I have to "update" to get things on the calendar and the process I have to go through to change a date or cancel a date. I think that should be all part of the software.

It's user-friendly, the customer support is amazing, and it's the best value for the money.

It's sometimes a little confusing but the amazing support makes it better.

It is easy to use and takes very little training. Even someone with (basically) no legal background would be able to figure it out and successfully use it.

County Court actions are not included. New tracking features are added periodically, and it would be great if County Court actions could be added in the near future!

The presumptive deadlines automatically calculating per court jurisdiction. Likewise, the ease with adding division specific and case management deadlines.

I'd like the rule Authority link to take me to the exact cite rather than just the main C.R.C.P. table of contents requiring that I navigate to the rule independently.

This software is very easy to use. You do not need extensive training to use this product. I love it!

I do not like the appointment time field - you cannot tab to it and add info from your keyboard easily because of the : that is pre populated in the field

LawToolBox is extremely important to our practice as it auto calculates deadlines and calendars them for you/the team. It keeps us in compliance with state rules.

It seems to only run on outlook and that computer usually has to remain on to keep synchronizing.

It is so easy to use, follow, and understand. This software saves me at least 10 minutes per case per day.

I want to enter the date that I want the diary to appear as opposed to their automatic 7 day format.

Ease of use - adding entries and having the ability to edit the entries as the case progresses is one of the best tools.

I didn't like the pop up options for tutorials, but reached out to the support team and that was taken care of quickly.

The software is user friendly, allows for editing trigger dates, and comes with accessible customer service for those tricky questions / situations.

There is a certain amount of personal oversight required to ensure that the automatically generated dates are correct and not duplicative of those issued by the court.

appears to keep up with the latest rule changes so I dont have to. And when it does run correctly, I know I have all of the important deadlines on my computer and on my phone.

it locks up my computer or shuts down too frequently.

That is calculates the deadlines for me automatically, that it is easy to use and that it can be shared with others within the firm

That is does not calculate all deadlines automatically. For instance, when a hearing is approaching the deadline to respond to motions changes. This program does not automatically calculate that so I have to do it myself

Law Tool Box is always up to date on any rule changes. Customer service is very responsive and goes above and beyond to help resolve an issue.

The administrator functions are not intuitive. The Firm Admin should be able to add or remove attorneys to existing assistants logins

Motion tracking, I like that is has the capability to incorporate local rules so that you are in compliance with all deadlines.

The suggested deadlines, sometimes don't apply. I find that most of the suggested deadlines do not pertain to the cases we are calendaring for.

Ease of use for deadlines and modifying deadlines. Would like to have a pre-lit category instead of the work around currently available.

Forms have to be modified significantly when created as far as margins, headers, page numbers, etc.

Fast, efficient and convenient. The providers are amazing at keeping up with the laws and deadlines associated therewith.

Sometimes Integrated Deadlines doesn't work, which could be very detrimental in missing a deadline, if you don't pay attention.

I like how easy data is to input information and the ability to sync with our calendar. I like being able to download the deadline chart to our computer and print it out for ease of reference. Having templates available, even though I don't use them very often, is reassuring and when I have used them, invaluable. There has been a time when I accidentially closed a file too soon. It was very easy to return it to current status.

I would like to see the number of days from trial put in with the description of the deadline - you used to do this and it was very helpful.

The ease of use and reliability of the software is incredible. I don't have to worry that I'll miss a deadline.

The automatic running deadlines don't change when one deadline is extended. This can make the deadlines tedious to update.

I like the regular version better and liked that layout better! Customer service has been helpful most of the time.

Training could be a little better on the new 365 software - i had to learn it fairly quickly and it was a short video.

Easy to use - tutorial is great for new persons just starting to use the program

It does not allow you to do 3 day reminders, only 7 days reminders. So I use Outlook for the 3 day calendar reminder which most firms really use.

It is very good at updating rules as soon as they are in effect. Has a misc deadline option so you can calendar something case-related that isn't necessarily a deadline.

It's not very intuitive. You don't know exactly what a deadline will look like on the deadline chart until you've already submitted it. Although you can check off deadlines or hide them, you can't always straight up delete them. No choice about which deadlines will show up on chart if you enter, for example, an "at issue" date.
