PCLaw® Reviews & Product Details

PCLaw used to be a very goof tool in the past but it has gone in the wrong direction since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support is basically non-existent. The lifetime licenses that we purchased were taken away from us. We have decided to switch to another provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy data input and good reports. Good financial management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we downsized our practice, the costs were increasing. We did not need the complexity. We elected to simplify our practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very much designed with lawyers in mind, especially trust accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software hasn't kept up with new technology - it is not cloud-based limiting its usefulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of time entries for time-based billing. Practical layout with various tools to track fees, billing, hours, and client information. A one-stop program that sufficiently caters to all of a lawyer's needs. The ledgers make it very accessible to keep track of work completed, and users can make payments and write cheques with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The format does seem a bit out of date and could use face lift. Some of the font is small, but the program is customizable and can be changed based on the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love all reports, the tool to have a budget, and monitoring all APs and ARs. Also, I love the fact to view all timekeepers, and the ability to view originations from attorneys. I love the fact that it is already incorporated with Accounting, and you do not need additional software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that is a desktop application available to Windows users only. it should be an option for a cloud platform and iOS users. My company used the program for over 20 years, and this is the main reason that we had to change it as we only use Apple computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PC Law is not a bad program. I used it for years and it worked well. It was easy to log time and kept track of all my files and deadlines. It created easy-to-read bills as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updates and the cost. When they switched over to an annual fee to use their software, it became too expensive to use and made my previous version unusable. Would have liked a way to continue to use it as a solo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was not too much that I liked about this program. It was difficult to work with which is why we decided to switch to another program. It did not compare well to other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not easy to navigate, challenging to work with and find the documents or information that I was looking for. I would not recommend this program. The program would often freeze and at times some tabs did not seem to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. At times it was reliable but often it was not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lag time, loss of data, not available on the cloud, no app, various glitches, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It easily integrates with our Amicus Attorney software and makes every aspect of my job easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything is smooth sailing with PCLaw. I have no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very good for accounting, has a passable timekeeping system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very clunky. Laggy when the database is large. You can't leave it open overnight as it disconnects from the server with backup. Interface is slow. Very little is automated. The bills it generates are so obtuse that clients always call asking what do the bills even mean. I have to create summaries in MS Word. Correcting spelling errors in disbursement entries in a very slow process. If I put in the wrong hourly rate (ie, my hourly rate for a legal aid file or a discounted hourly rate file), I have to manually change each and every entry which is an extremely slow process. I can't make custom forms without getting admin privileges from the firm. It has been inordinately difficult to do such things as remove a "total tax" line from the template bill when the "total tax" line doesn't even set out all of the tax (it sets out GST only instead of combined GST and PST).
