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

Cons

“I was not as pleased with the document management function. Because it was not integrated, it required a different system to share documents with clients. ”

James B.

Owner Partner

“Some of the buttons and dropdown menus are a bit small.”

Nils W.

Lawyer

“You submit a request on your account profile, wait for a call, and if you're not available for the call you must return the call from their support team who doesn't answer.”

Adam G.

Attorney

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
