Much more effective reporting on intake, client contact, and staff management. Very effective case browsing and searching. Implementing SmartAdvocate has allowed us to move much closer to a "less paper" work environment.

Avantages

I love the templates in SA. They are easy to create and administer as well as user friendly. I also really like the searchability of each window, particularly documents.

Inconvénients

I like the UDF Editor, except for the way that items are re-ordered. It would be easier if there was a way to drag and drop to put the items in the order you want.

Pourquoi passer à SmartAdvocate

SmartAdvocate is more of an all-in-one case management software. The others required more integrations and dealing with multiple vendors. Even with the two integrations we have with SmartAdvocate, the support team at SmartAdvocate manages them for us.

Smart Advocate is a Competent Case Management Software Catered to your Needs

Publié le 12/10/2020

Smart Advocate has allowed my firm to automate significant portions of our pre-litigation practice which is a huge time-saver. As we continue to learn about Smart Advocate's features and further develop our use of it, the logistics of our practice has been improved significantly .

Avantages

Smart Advocate easily integrated into our firm with a relatively seamless transition from our prior case management software. Since then, Smart Advocate has been easy to pick up and learn and its wide breadth of features makes customizing the program to our specific practice worth taking the extra time to learn.

Inconvénients

Not all litigation management tabs in Smart Advocate are self-explanatory, requiring a dedicated support person who is intimately familiar with Smart Advocate to wade through feature functionality at times.

Our office has been able to keep much better track of cases with Smart Advocate, specifically calendaring. Everything is in ONE PLACE and very easy to find.

Additionally, the document production portion has been wonderful. We are not re-creating the wheel everytime we want to send something to a client, opposing counsel, or the court.

Avantages

The user interface of SmartAdvocate is much easier than the many competitors out there. Not only do the capabilities outweigh other platforms, but the training and assistance we have received in our office has been excellent. Everything is easily able to be found in one place and the templates for document production have saved us countless hours of work.

Inconvénients

There is not much I don't like about SmartAdvocate. Every time I have had a question about a capability, it seems that it already exists or has been easily able to be integrated.

So far, now that I have learned to maneuver quicker between the tabs, I am enjoying using it more and more.

Avantages

The ability to review all case file information quickly and having more than one case open at a time so that I can just click a tab to toggle between cases.

Inconvénients

Avantages

My 4 years of experience with Smart Advocate has been a positive experience. Over the course of the last 4 years this software has allowed us to grow without the normal growing pains. The automation and dashboard reporting are amazing tools to manage cases and personnel with a few clicks. We are better able to communicate with our clients using automation tools, have streamlined work processes using workplans and have been able to maintain labor costs even during growth due to the specific use of workplans. I had been a Needles user for several years prior to using Smart Advocate and hands down this is a winner.

Avantages

Ease of use, intuitive nature of program. Automation and dashboards.

Inconvénients

Inability to write custom reports and intake functionality.

The SmartAdvocate support team is amazing and very responsive. You have to be patient with any software product that you launch, but the team at SmartAdvocate has seen it all and they will solve any issue quickly.

Avantages

SmartAdvocate has all of the tools necessary to successfully operate a personal injury law firm with incredible efficiency. The ability to text and esign right from within the program is a game changer in terms of client satisfaction. Ordering medical records is simplified to a few clicks and tracking those requests is totally transparent. A huge benefit of SmartAdvocate is that they are not new to the space which gives them a huge advantage over their competitors because they know what makes a PI firm tick.

Inconvénients

You have to be committed to SmartAdvocate and it will pay to back handsomely. If you take the extra seconds to input the data, it’s well worth it.

I work with all CMS in the plaintiff PI world as the company I work with consultants with law firms across the country and Canada. SA continues to know the firms they work with, truly care about their success, and ALWAYS goes over and beyond expectations! [sensitive content hidden] every single team member are top notch!

Avantages

SA is detailed and easy to use. Some CMS in the industry have too many customization options. The team at SA thinks through problems and are constantly evolving the product.

Inconvénients

SA is like buying your all time favorite car, with every bell and whistle you can imagine. It takes time to know how all the options on your new car work. Sometimes I think there should be different versions for a client. Maybe a base model to start with for firms who have never had the kind of poser SA holds.

Avantages

I like SmartAdvocate. While I think some aspects could be better, this has been a very easy program to learn.

Avantages

The task tracking is super helpful and I like that I can assign tasks to myself. It helps me not to forget what I need to do.I like the Document Cloud a lot. It allows everyone in the firm to access the same documents without having to download them every time. It also makes organizing documents easier.

Inconvénients

I wish SA allowed you to edit document templates on the website. I also cannot figure out how to download the Word Plug-In so I can't edit the templates at all.The workflows are very hard to implement. They are tedious to design and often don't work as intended. Tweaking them after testing them takes time and often still doesn't get you the results you want.

We've gone from calling and emailing clients ourselves to letting SA take the reins. That saved time converts to more time spent working on legal research and writing for our attorneys and new potential client outreach for our support staff.

Avantages

The automated client outreach and task systems have been phenomenal. It doesn't get any better than this.

Inconvénients

Out initial roll-out was rocky. Sometimes, features are labelled incorrectly or are not clearly defined. The automated processes rely heavily on inputting the information in the least visible parts of the application.

Organizational problems solved with SmartAdvocate. The best benefit to Smart Advocate is when you actually use all of its functions and input all the information in its necessary place/fill out all the fields, it makes life very easy.

Avantages

That you can add almost ANY detail to the case to SA that is separated into so many different categories to find info about the case. I love how it can be connected to our Outlook email to send/set tasks or email tasks to anyone. If all the information is inputted into the correct places, it can be VERY helpful. Love how it puts all the info into the template for you.

Inconvénients

It can be overwhelming the amount of information that SA shows/requires to fill out for the case. Not always user friendly...especially if you are still learning how to use SA and ALL of its features. I do not like when searching for a client in search bar that multiple tabs open up and can make the screen overwhelming to look at with multiple tabs. It is both a good and a bad thing how much information can be stored into SA. I wish the dashboard was easier to read, too crowded.

Dynamic, effective, and efficient software!

Publié le 23/08/2021

Avantages

Hi! My name is Selena. We've been using SA for over a year. This software can be either cloud or server based. Our office has cloud, so I can work from anywhere with just my log in. Also have Smart Advocate on my phone so I can see cases even when I'm not near a computer/laptop. Also it makes managing cases so easy with all the reports you can run and dashboards you can customize. You can run reports on financial information, calendar, outstanding fees, and you can have the reports generated and emailed to you automatically.

Inconvénients

Integrating documents and learning the plug ins was a little difficult for my office but once practiced a few times we got the hang of it.
