Operations Specialist

Pros

“We're able to buy the program on an "as needed" basis which is important as we have attorneys retiring and are winding down the bankruptcy filings.”
LH

Lee H.

Managing member

“As a collaborative tool, it provides real-time updates with our internal stakeholder contributions and makes case progression simplified. ”

“I really enjoy using NextChapter as a cloud-based system to manage and file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies.”
SB

Susan B.

Attorney

Cons

“As an example, when we are now trying to decide which project and phase we want to select, we are faced with a list that compresses information like client, project manager, etc, which is not relevant to our selection. Because of space constrains, we no longer can see the full text of the projects and phases, which makes it very difficult to figure out which phase we want to select. ”

Carmela C.

Accountant-administrator

“It is particularly bad on Monday mornings when the employees are trying to complete their timecards from the week before.”
CC

Carmela C.

Accountant-administrator

“Needs to improve features like adding email to each project; being able to make notes only visible to us on an invoice; seeing payment dates while looking at invoice (this takes several steps by going to the project tab); CORE can be slow and I find I have to enter 2-3 times before it will respond (Server issue?); Being able to create our own "template" for what assignments need to be used when creating a project and there's more not specified here.”
MH

Melidee H.

Accounting Manager

Cons

“I don't like that batch downloads don't have the docket numbers on the entries when they have them in the nextchapter pacer notices section. ”
JW

Jann W.

Attorney

“Sometimes, the internet causes slow downs in logging on.”

“Most troubles that we ran in to had to do with the learning curve of having switched from a different product.”
