Easy-to-Use Juris Billing for Time, Expenses, and Fees. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cruzita-Maria T. | Billing Manager/Administrative Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2026 **What do you like best about Juris®?** I use Juris for my firm's billing, entering time, expenses, and fees. It is easy to use, and I have been using it for about 10 years. In the past few years, I have been using it for billing clients for our fees and expenses. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** We are behind in software, and it costs way too much to upgrade to the most recent version. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Getting our invoices to the clients in a timely manner and getting our firm paid is a benefit. ### 2. Easy time keeping! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It is very user friendly and makes it easy to enter time as it is being done. I am more efficient as I can enter time contemporaneously with the project. I like the options for customization. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** it seems to glitch if left open for more than a few hours. I also do not like not being able to run two timers. I need to pause one project and start another at times and it does not have that ability. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it daily to enter my time. I am more efficient as I can enter time contemporaneously with the project. It helps me actually bill my clients at the same time I do the work. ### 3. Juris 3.1 **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The reporting and analysis are very robust. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** It is sometimes difficult to find a specific transaction as you cannot drill down into a report to the actual transaction, only the journal entry. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** Use Juris Professional Services for the best implementation, support, and customization. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** This firm has used Juris for over 25 years for billing and accounting. ### 4. EASY TO NAVIGATE **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** JESSICA G. | Legal Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Our law firm uses Juris and Juris Suite for billing matters. I like that it is very user friendly when adding new contacts/employers/ etc. It also alerts you in the screen pop up if the matter is already in use or if you forgot to fill out a pertinent cell. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** you cannot do a "mass update" say the recipient changed for that employer/insurance. If our firm has multiple cases where that contact is no longer there or on a leave of absence we have to go in and manually update the file. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** We use this for our Work Comp Defense firm **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our office uses Juris to generate bills that we serve via email or US Mail. I only enter the files into the system I do not update the info or generate the bills. ### 5. Upgrade Subpar **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrea F. | Accounting Specialist , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The capability to have one program for all items. Time, accounts payable, receivable and collections. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The new version is full of glitches and error messages. It was completely rewritten in a new language and is not compatible with certain versions of windows **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Error messages, glitches and windows capability issues ### 6. Juris is relatively easy to use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Juris®?** I like that I can sort my billing time multiple ways - by date, or by client. I find the ability to switch it up is helpful when I’m reviewing time to make sure I properly entered everything. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** I dislike the rules for submitting explanations of my billing - you have to punctuate a certain way, etc. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** We utilize it for all office billing. ### 7. Increased efficiency of billing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** LexisNexis Juris is a simplified account manager, which acts as accounts payable, receivable, charges, and expenses. If integrated throughout the entire system, the application will automatically update the account so that you do not have to through different interfaces. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The price for a small firm was unmanageable. We could not receive a discount due to our size, even though we have a history with using LexisNexis products. Also, if you are a law firm with a split billed matter (partial billing), the program does not recognize the two separate places within one matter. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** Ensure that your current products for billing are compatible with LexisNexis, as we ran into setup issues when we tried to implement the product at first. Also, have a backup plan for bills that are partial, or split between clients. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have realized the holes within the efficiency of our accounting system, and patched them using this integrated software. ### 8. It's Just Okay **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The filters -- there are so many ways to sort billing entries, When your database has enormous amounts of entries, you need to filter them down, the more filters the better. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Frequent errors for users, crashing, sometimes entries wont show up without refreshing several times. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** Make sure there is sufficient drive space on your SQL server. Make sure to backup the database frequently, or else errors may occur more frequently. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** This is how we keep track of all of our billing. Has many different ways to get reports which come in handy when trying to get rate increases. Allows us to pinpoint errors made by users easily. ### 9. Sensible timekeeping for productive billing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jesse K. | Campaign Strategist - State Advocacy, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** I like the "timer" function to ensure both accuracy and to prevent a moment from being wasted. Stoping, starting and pausing the timer allow me to fill my day most productively and allow me to document my productivity accurately. I like the ability to print daily and weekly juris reports for supervisory review - not only am I being self-accountable, but my superiors can review my time entires to see what projects are taking up most of my time. While I do very much like the summary page, please see my dislike below for a specific way I believe it might be improved. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** I dislike the inability to control my own billing goals within summary - for example, if my goal were to bill 4 hours on Wednesday and 4 hours on Sunday - the coloring scheme would reflect red for Wednesday and white for Sunday, when I'd like to see both be green for my own personal calculations. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Promoting accurate billing for clients and record-keeping for the office administrator. The manual that accompanies the software is tailored to answer specific questions, and I found it very helpful in navigating the system. ### 10. Over 14 years experience with Juris **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It is an all-in-one accounting system that incorporates the attorney's time, A/P and A/R. It is quite robust. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** It is not intuitive. It takes time to learn how to properly use the software. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** If you are considering Juris, I would recommend that you keep your existing bookkeeping software and implement Juris after working with it a few months. It is worth the extra time to get comfortable with the software before jumping right in. Set up and initial use of the product takes time and you should consider giving yourself a few months before going all-in. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Juris and Juris Suite have allowed the attorneys to better capture their time. The benefit of this system is an all-in-one approach to timekeeping, billing, and firm accounting. ### 11. 20 years of meh **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Provides a large number of possible reports **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Does not integrate with cloud practice management software **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Billing and financial analysis ### 12. Fairly clunky program **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Juris®?** This program is predictable, and so you can get pretty good at entering time in a rote way and not encounter any surprises. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The functionality is quite limited. For example, I cannot highlight multiple rows of time I've entered to get a total for the day, and copy into Excel. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** This program allows me to bill time to various tasks/clients and get summaries of where I am spending my time. ### 13. Definitely something worth trying **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melissa M. | Release of Information Specialist, Executive Office, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** There is a niche industry devoted to IT support for law firms that installs PCLaw on your computer and provides training on how to use it. If I have to pay a third-party to learn how to use what should be straightforward timekeeping and billing software (especially considering that companies like Freshbooks have such a small learning curve), there’s a fundamental problem. The problem is that PCLaw is not competitive with the current crop of players in the space. PCLaw relies on being the legacy system that you’re too invested in to replace. “I’ve spent 4 years and thousands of dollars to install and support PCLaw and now you’re asking me to ditch it?” Yes. It was a bad investment choice and the longer you stay with it the worse off you’ll be **What do you dislike about Juris®?** PCLaw is server-based, so you have to pay several hundred dollars per user license and you have to install PCLaw on a computer server if you want to enable multiple users to access it, or install it on a desktop computer if you want one user to be able to access it. PCLaw is not user friendly to get set up. While it is somewhat straightforward to navigate PCLaw once you’re set up, it is not the most intuitive. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCLaw is really most useful for a solo practitioner who wants their software installed on a single machine. While it appears to have some user permission features, setting up multiple users and permissions for them is more difficult than with any of the cloud-based offerings. ### 14. Unparalleled Research Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The ease of looking up case law is unparalleled in other legal research programs. The tutorials that are available are helpful for young attorneys who have been out of school for a bit and need to adapt from the student version to the juris version. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The cost... It's very expensive. LexisNexis has pricing packages and it's obviously easier to split the cost, but it's important to become very efficient at researching or else it can become very costly. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** If you trained on Lexis Nexis (law student), this is a no brainer. The packaging options make this affordable enough in most cases. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding precise case law means forming a better strategy. ### 15. A good partner to have **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas T. | Circuit Court Law Librarian Assistant, Government Administration, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 06, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The service it offers it easily organizes the cases for billing and other accounting needs. It is able to separate cases effectively for billing **What do you dislike about Juris®?** I really enjoy this product, It is a very helpful tool The price is higher but it is worth it **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** I recommend this program because it has the easiest capabilities and is easy to use both at the office and on the run. The program easily separates the tasks so one is able to keep billing accessible. One Feature I do enjoy is the billing reports so we can compare work with others in the office. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** My staff is able place the time spent on certain cases and also help me keep track of my employee time. It is like having an admin assistant on the computer for finances. ### 16. Ease of Use and Accuracy is Great **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dominique L. | Working, Legal Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Ease of use is probably the best part of it. I like that it is secure and it really helps with setting up the fees that we charge for services that we do here which vary from job to job. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The cost is pretty up there. It makes it not as affordable for smaller businesses like ours. if it were cheaper we would probably be able to continue using it. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** It is a good program to work with when you want to create accurate invoicing. Helps reduce the amount of time we had to spend in collections. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Charging clients for businesses rendered, ensuring the costs are accurate and up to date so we can pay our court reporters what is owed to them while making sure that we are making a profit as well. It makes invoicing a lot easier so that is a benefit. ### 17. Has its pluses but I would not want it to be my only option **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It's organized; meaning you can usually find what you are looking for as long as you know where to look. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Lack of storage. I wanted to be able to link documents and store them within Juris and it's not possible with our version. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** I wouldn't unless you are only going to use it for billing. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Billing. We have TM but still handle all billing through Juris as we have been using it for over 20 years and I couldn't convince our accounting department it was ok to switch to a different billing system. And honestly Juris is ok for billing, but that is all I see it as. ### 18. Pays for Itself!!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shannon C. | Paralegal/Owner, Legal Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2015 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Ability to keep up with time worked, billed, as well as client fees and costs as well as reliable conflict check system all in one place with accurate calculations and accounting. Love the way Juris also gives information for time worked by partner, associate or attorney. This software is the easiest one I have ever used and provided all of the perks and necessities along with it! Although this is a little pricy, it is a great system no matter the size of your firm. I recently started working as paralegal on contract basis for attorneys and because I am only one person and couldn't afford it...I was left with using my accounting software for time keepeing and spent days setting up a reliable conflict check system....it is a sigh of relief with i go back and do work for this firm and use Juris...I will own it one day...soooo worth it! **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Support is expensive. Would be nice to be able to use voice memo on phone or even note on phone to enter time and send to Juris for billing. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** This program will pay for itself and you will be aa much happier, less stressed individual struggling to bill clients and create invoices. This system is easy to use an allows you to create reports etc. I would suggest still using accounting software such as Quickbooks, however for time keeping and billing Juris si the best solution **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Organization across the board...clients, fees, costs all in one place (along with trust account records). No more wondering if something had updated because it goes in instantly. Invoicing is easier and allows large batching which saves a lot of time. If I could, I would choose Juris over any billing, invoicing program out there...it truly provides the best of everything and keeps everything in order without the confusion often found with standard accounting programs. ### 19. Reliable but needs updating **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James H. | Collection Department Manager, Law Practice, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2015 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It has change logs for most types of records. Very good for data mining. Also very secure database (cannot alter or change database - only Juris employees can make changes). **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Very out-dated look and feel. Reporting is very basic, difficult to do any data analysis with more than one variable. Cannot create custom reports. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** My experience with the Juris product is that we are a small fish swimming in a large sea. Juris does not seem to have enough resources to solve customer problems (I've been waiting on a solution to a problem for a month or two now and it seems to still be waiting in line). If you are a set-it-and-forget-it customer, then Juris will be just fine, but if you want to make changes, you will be disappointed. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** This is used for our financial and accounting software solution. ### 20. Excellent Product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** The ease of creating and updating billing and accounting reports. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Sometimes the program shuts down on its own for reasons unknown and needs to be restarted. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Billing, accounting, and expense solutions and organization to stay on top of finances. ### 21. Juris Suite **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Heather R. | Litigation Paralegal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Conflict searching, setting filters for time entry **What do you dislike about Juris®?** User interface is difficult to teach end users **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** It is a comprehensive program with a lot of options. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Timekeeping, conflict checking ### 22. Good product. Easy to use. A bit expensive. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It is pretty easy to use and quite intuitive. Makes billing and setting up fees that we charge for different services pretty easy. Customer service and support is responsive and helpful. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** It is a pretty expensive product for smaller organizations. I do understand that bigger law firms would not mind the cost considering the ease of use, but for smaller organizations it may not be worth the trade in cost for time saved. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems I was trying to solve by using this product were billing and invoicing clients for various services rendered. ### 23. Juris and Juris Suite **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Ease of use, ability to input time, expenses and bill from one convenient program. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** The reports, would like them to be a little more user friendly and ability to modify a report to fit with our needs. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Juris and Juris Suite interact seamlessly and allows attorneys to enter their time while allowing the accounting side to run reports and handle billing seamlessly. ### 24. Great for solo practitioners and firms alike **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Juris is great for solo practitioners and law firms alike. Its ease of billing software is useful and intiutive. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** I don't like the layout of some of the features, but most of them are intuitively laid out and easy to use. I think there are some minor bugs that will be fixed in later editions. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** Easy to use if you are just starting to bill, or just starting your own business. Not sure how it will be for when I have many more clients. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Billing of clients etc. Legal issues. ### 25. Very comprehensive and easy to use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2016 **What do you like best about Juris®?** Used as a part of lexis advance. Very clear and easy to use like most Lexis services (though if you prefer Westlaw, you might not be used to the way Lexis is structured). Allows you to break down from broad to narrow with its filters. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** Nothing too drastic - it is limited within the confines of the Lexis parameters. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** Familiarity with the Lexis software is a plus. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** Legal and academic research. The general Lexis tools (shepherdize, etc) are available and helpful for some projects. ### 26. Former User **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2015 **What do you like best about Juris®?** It is very easy to use and works similarly to Westlaw. Switching between Westlaw and Nexus is easy and If I owned my own firm I would go to Lexis if it was cheaper. **What do you dislike about Juris®?** I do not overall dislike anything about Lexis. Some of there secondary sources may be subpar to competitors. **Recommendations to others considering Juris®:** I like both Lexis and Westlaw. Although I currently use Westlaw, it is only because my firm pays for just Westlaw. **What problems is Juris® solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used the software for legal research needs. ## Juris® Discussions - [What is Juris® used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-juris-used-for) - [View Juris® pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/juris/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+18%3A56%3A35+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=58fc4418-1948-4b35-89c0-135d2ac1017c&secure%5Btoken%5D=ca1a5696ee6a57c2ac9d8c97b0b9cbd4c96d00c595198a20e1b90be5b26a6f66&format=llm_user) ## Juris® Features **Agentic AI - Legal Billing** - Cross-system Integration - Decision Making ## Top Juris® Alternatives - [Clio Manage](https://www.g2.com/products/clio-clio-manage/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (989 reviews) - [SurePoint Finance Core](https://www.g2.com/products/surepoint-finance-core/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (17 reviews) - [TimeSolv](https://www.g2.com/products/timesolv/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (417 reviews)
