Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PracticePanther easily allows me to add expenses and time onto a case. Everything I need for my case is right there in front of me, without the need to toggle between different functions. I can invoice, make notes, and add receipts in half the time it used to take me. I also love that I can easily see my aging accounts and the accounts that have current payments. What I love most about PracticePanther is that it's very user friendly and doesn't require a ton of data input. I can spend more time being a lawyer and less time figuring out complicated software.

Pros

Ease of Use
Ease of Adding Time and Expenses to Accounts
Ease of Seeing Aging Accounts

Cons

It's difficult to sync with other applications like Gmail.
Invoices can be a bit tricky.

Return on Investment

My billing was cut in half the first month I used it.
It allows me and my assistant to make notes in each file without having the actual file in front of us.
I have recaptured all of my expenses.

Pros

Workflows and task management.
User interface and clarity of features.
Customer service is expedient and helpful.

Cons

There are some features that are available on one part of the software but not on others. E.g., when creating a task, you can add and make new tags. But during the creation of a workflow, when making a task, you can't make new tags. You have to make the task outside of the workflow space.
An event whereby you can invite outside users/clients without creating a client portal.
If the client portal was a bit more robust, I would like to use it. See the first item; I am unable to make tasks through workflows with links to be populated for my clients to make client task easier when I need to direct them to a different webpage to complete an item.

Return on Investment

I have been able to expedite time reviewing a file, organizing information so less time spent on workers.
The automated organization through integrations, like dropbox, to organize all my matters in a uniform manner. Saves time.
Ease of use has saved on training as instructions can be implemented directly on workflows. Saves time. Each time it saves a worker time, I am more efficient and my return on investment is apparent.
