LeanLaw Reviews

I like the synchronization with Quickbooks. I also like that it is easy to apply different tax rates for different jurisdictions while time track and billing.

There is no ability to schedule appointments within the software. This is a feature I am very hopeful they will develop given that they already have a calendar view within Leanlaw.

Movement of invoices into another software for sending to clients & expense tracking. We still utilize Quickbooks.

I do not care for the double screens after login. Two tabs are opened which bothers my OCD and I immediately close the one non-essential window.

I like the intuitive interfaces and clear direction. Some lawyers are not particularly in tune with technology, so these simple interfaces and directions help keep frustrations low.

The reporting interface is quite smashed together and leaves much to be desired. The interface limits itself across the tabs rather than allowing differences between the tabs more.

It's tailored specifically to Law Firms. It plays well with QuickBooks Online. It appears easy to understand and learn.

So far, I really like everything about this software!

LeanLaw is easy to navigate, integrates really well with Quickbooks and their customer service reps are very responsive.

Nothing, they are always improving things, we did not realize was missing.

Ease of Quickbooks syncing for billing and ease of use for adding time entries.

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.

Ease of use with time entries and reports.

Collaboration with quickbooks can be difficult to navigate

The product is very easy to use and integrates well with QuickBooks.

The reporting functions are insufficient

We decided to use QuickBooks Online for Attorneys and spent three months trying to make it work. Everything required "a work-around" to make it attorney-office friendly. LeanLaw puts a 'pretty face on QBO' in our CPA's words, by creating those work-arounds for you and translating everything to law office friendly language and processes. Asking for help and getting a REAL person in 5 minutes is amazing!

There is nothing about LeanLaw that we dislike.

The Integration with Quickbooks was efficient and very valuable. I like the time keeping aspect as well

The calendar was hard to read. There wasnt much on note taking for the individual cases. I also could not figure out how to add flat fees to hourly matters.

I think the software is relatively easy to use and fairly intuitive.

I have no particular complaints about this software.

It's quite simple to navigate the surface-level features of the program such as adding a new client, matter, or depositing to a client's trust account.

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. It cannot be done in Lean Law. The interface is also pretty dated and reminds me of an old school software program.

LeanLaw is great for our firm because it does not have all the extra bells and whistles of other programs. I find that these other options are rarely used and unnecessarily complicate the software.

It would be nice to have a dashboard with general info about the current monthly status of the firm and billings.

This software is easy to use, and user intuitive. I'm just a regular user so I don't run reports, or create new files - so my use is confined to just billing clients and it couldn't be easier.

Occasionally there are glitches where I find my input time on a different date than I entered, however, that was easily fixed by the LeanLaw team.

We switched over to LeanLaw after using CaseFox (which is low priced, but glitches often). We found LeanLaw to be easy to learn, onbaord, and incorporate into our daily practice.

I have heard LeanLaw does not have all the bells and whistles that some of the other legal softwares have. That did not dissuade us because we were actually looking for something simple.

This has saved us SO much time. As attorneys the only thing we have to sell is our time so having more of it to bill clients and less to spend on admin work is huge for us.

The expenses could be easier to input. I would like to se an easier way to calculate mileage.

Very easy to enter time. Seamless transition for billing to Quickbooks

I wish there was a feature where you could use defined tasks for your time entries (which it does have) and then you could mine the data from those tasks for determining future fixed fee amounts. The fixed fee template is confusing, at least to me.

I do appreciate the support from techs that have been patient with me. In the beginning, almost a year ago, there were quite a few things I needed LeanLaw to be able to do. For the most part, these things were addressed to my satisfaction. What I like most about the software: that I can work from home It's taken me a year, but I am 'fairly' satisfied with the software.

I hate that invoicing isn't via LeanLaw. I hate Quickbooks online and would rather all invoicing was via LeanLaw and my Quickbooks was used as a desktop version like I have used for 15 years or longer. I think the fact that I have to pay for Quickbook Online, which I repeat I hate, in order to use LeanLaw is an additional cost that I do not feel like I should have to pay. Plus, the basic QBooks...

The user interface is very clean and intuitive in LeanLaw. Timekeeping down to 1/10 of an hour is a great feature, and the desktop app makes it very easy to do log time for various matters. LeanLaw's integration with Quickbooks is huge, as our firm never has to draft an invoice. The reporting features of LeanLaw are good, and continue to get better. It is very easy to see revenue by attorney, revenue by client matter, productivity, and accounts receivable. There is even a report to help gauge fixed-fee profitability margins.

There isn't much not to like about LeanLaw when you understand what it is for. It's lean timekeeping and billing software for the lean law firm. It will never include client portals, document storage/sharing, or other such features.

I like the timekeeping and how the invoicing links directly to Quickbook.

It used to link directly with Gmail and Google Drive and that isn't supported anymore. I wish it was.

I like the integration with Quickbooks and the ability to track my time effectively.

The Quickbooks integration is not very customizable. I've had trouble getting my trust accounting to work properly and it'd be nice to be able to customize things more on that front.

I love seeing my day and billable hours calculated in real time, the calendar format makes it easier for me to keep my time and helps me get all of my time recorded quickly.

The app, last I checked, was not easy to use and so I have resorted to entering time back at the office or when I can get to a laptop instead of on the go.

LeanLaw is the only software that allows a two way sync with Quickbooks Online. Meaning you can mark expenses that are billable to a client as they come across your credit card statement and LeanLaw will pick those up and add to the invoice.

I can't think of anything...it works very well.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

It is easy to use, integrates with Quickbooks for billing, allows me to access my timekeeping software from anywhere and has saved me time and money since I began using it. It is easy to use and very intuitive.

The online version of Quickbooks is more difficult to use than the computerized version.
