"Straightforward Use, But Falls Short on Support"
1.5/5
What do you like best about CARET Legal?

I find CARET Legal straightforward to use, which significantly enhances my ability to manage and organize legal matters effectively. The ease of matter creation is a standout feature, allowing me to focus on getting tasks done quickly without unnecessary complexity. The user-friendly design makes it possible to navigate and operate the platform with minimal training or prior knowledge, which I deeply appreciate. Additionally, the initial setup process of CARET Legal was easy, so integrating it into our workflow did not pose any challenges and allowed us to get up and running swiftly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARET Legal?

I have experienced significant challenges with CARET Legal. Communication issues with their outsourced technical support team are common, leading to frustrating back-and-forth interactions and a lack of understanding regarding issues. For example, I've had an unresolved ticket since February about straightforward technical problems, like associates inadvertently recording 100% discounted entries on invoices. It wasn't until our account manager got involved that any progress was made. Additionally, I feel misled by the upselling of the new Caret Analytics feature, which was not as advertised upon upgrade, leading to dissatisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CARET Legal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use CARET Legal to organize legal matters and assist with billing. It's user-friendly and efficient for matter creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Billing with Excellent Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CARET Legal?

I really like the seamless workflow in CARET Legal that extends from time tracking to prebilling and then to finalized billing. This process cuts down on manual administrative work, which had been a considerable burden before. The automation in billing provides an efficiency that I truly appreciate, as it lets me focus on more critical tasks rather than be bogged down by tedious manual processes. Furthermore, setting up CARET Legal was fairly easy, and the team's responsiveness and support have been integral in helping us adjust and tweak the system to meet our specific needs. This assistance has been invaluable as we transition and figure out how to best utilize the software for our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARET Legal?

I would say the way the trust accounts work. I would like for it to be more customizable for a trust balance to be applied across all matters for each client as well as there be an option to apply partial trust payments to prebills at a more bulk level vs. one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CARET Legal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find CARET Legal streamlines our time tracking and billing workflow, reducing manual admin work and providing a seamless transition from time tracking to billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service team is consistently prompt and efficient in their responses, and I’ve observed that they frequently update the program based on client feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One Legal Software but Needs Improvements"
4/5
What do you like best about CARET Legal?

I appreciate that CARET Legal allows me to consolidate all my tasks on a single platform, which I find incredibly convenient. I can manage everything from legal case management, accounting, and invoicing, to email management and time entry without needing to switch between multiple tools. The platform's user-friendly design simplifies its use, making it easy to navigate and utilize effectively. Transitioning to CARET Legal was initially daunting, but in retrospect, the setup process turned out to be manageable and straightforward. Overall, this integration into one cohesive platform has significantly streamlined my workflow and improved efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARET Legal?

I experience several issues with the invoicing system in CARET Legal, including bugs and difficulties in editing split billing invoices, which sometimes allow me to adjust entries and other times do not. Additionally, the L codes do not always appear when editing invoices. I find the accounting tools lacking compared to QuickBooks, and I miss having a comprehensive report that includes remittance information for vendor bills. Moreover, customer support can be unresponsive at times, necessitating multiple emails or calls for assistance. I also think the document saving and organizational structure could use improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that CARET Legal is a cloud-based platform. This feature is particularly beneficial because it enables me to work effortlessly from anywhere, which is crucial in maintaining productivity and flexibility for my practice.

This information is instrumental in making informed business decisions and strategizing for future growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARET Legal?

I find CARET Legal's task management disappointing. It struggles to prioritize past due tasks and major upcoming tasks. Additionally, the initial setup process was extremely frustrating, taking 7 months. This was mainly due to frequent changes in CARET project managers, leading to lack of continuity. Furthermore, our data had to be imported twice because of CARET's errors, complicating the transition despite us moving from another product owned by CARET. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CARET Legal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use CARET Legal to manage time collection, billing without mailing invoices, and client matters, enhancing accuracy. Its analytics help identify top-earning practice areas. Being cloud-based allows remote work and simplifies onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
