Pros from Real Users Pros User friendly. Easy and secure way for clients to run their own payments without having to waste the time of our staff. Allows our client's several payment methods. Very easy to track transactions. I really like the ease and convenience of using Law Pay. Not only is it easy for me to use but it allows my accountant to records payments without having to call me when there are multiple payments posted in the bank statement. The system is clean and efficient. Very few issues or problems. System always works well. Information presented in a very usable format. Versatility, simplicity, clear and logical menu and pulldowns. Transfers to bank accounts occur without problems. Reporting is also simple. Extremely user friendly, makes processing payments seamless. Easy to track details and speedy updates. It's easy for clients to select their payment type and make payment. PCI compliance certification, which has been a nightmare with other platforms, is easy and understandable. The ease of sending QUICK BILLS to clients make the use worth it! The fact that clients will pay their Bills much faster with a credit card helps my bottom line. Ease of use; ability to send links, invoices, and quick bills. I like that the customer service is really helpful. Deadline management: Court-ordered mediation deadlines, document due dates, payment deadlines, conference dates, and follow-ups can be tracked rather than managed from memory or scattered emails. Document control: Orders of referral, agreements to mediate, fee documents, mediation summaries, correspondence, reports, and administrative records can remain associated with the correct matter. Contact management: Plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, assistants, parties, adjusters, corporate representatives, and other participants can be associated with the case. Billing infrastructure: Your mediation charges, invoices, payments, and outstanding balances can be tracked alongside the matter rather than through a separate manual process. The card vault is a lifesaver for our firm. We have the ability to run recurring payments without manually reinputting card information. The reports feature is easy to use and helps track our various accounts.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I have been using uLaw since I started my sole practice in Canadian immigration law about 7 years ago. A colleague was using it at the time and suggested I try it out. I am extremely happy with uLaw. To be clear, I hate accounting, but I knew that my practice is small enough where I could handle everything if I had the right tools. uLaw has proven to be the right tool for my accounting and bookkeeping needs. I keep it simple and uLaw allows me to do that without being overwhelmed by over choice or a confusing interface. I've had to contact customer service a number of times to figure out what reports are needed for taxes, HST return reviews, and law society compliance audits. Each time I've contacted customer service they have been very responsive and extremely helpful. They understand the product deeply and they understand my question, even when I'm not always sure exactly what I'm asking for. Like the lost seminars that uLaw provided and training us. learning from the roommate also form the instructor. The service is web based, highly customizable, allows for BI and is great for book keeping as well as CRM functions, and produces very professional-looking documents. However, the best feature is the dedicated after-sales support -- from what I'm told it far surpasses other similar solution providers. For that reason alone, I wouldn't switch from uLaw. The follow-up by staff when you do not know how to do something in ULaw or reverse something, is very timely. The product itself is very comprehensive. I like that the product is Canadian and fairly affordable, especially given the discount given in your first year as a user and in comparison to U.S. software I considered. The compliance tab (with the LSO) is a great resource. uLawPractice is a legal software and bookkeeping in one. Additionally, the technical support team is very knowledgeable about the program and extremely helpful. The response time is only within a few hours. uLawPractice assists law firms with audit ready checklists and reports. Lots of help videos, weekly webinars and live technical support are available to help with learning the software. Cons Sometimes information populates in template forms a little oddly and sometimes invoices/receipts are a bit slow to generate/download. Like the most topic that you guy provided. all of topic are valuable. There are no cons to using uLaw. I would recommend uLaw to anyone running their own practice. I find that often the Ulaw Answers do not provide an answer for something I am trying to do. The sound on the videos is low. I like that they are to-the-point and quick, but I think more need to be added, even though there are already hundreds to filter through. The ULaw answers are useful sometimes, but I do not use the Guide. It should not even be called one I think, as the few times I have gone in to it forgetting that it is not a guide in the sense that I think of as a guide - terms with a table of contents. I really missed not having access to a resource like that when I was a beginner, although I had ULaw answers and Gayathri from ULaw Support, Bless her. I found flow charts or menu paths would have been helpful. Ex. what do you do first in ULaw when you have a new client, where do you go next... Sometimes it appears as if there are different ways to do the same thing , but you end up choosing the wrong path. The incorrect spelling throughout ULaw annoys me a little as a former English teacher and do not find it leaves a professional image for the company. Not designed for large law firms. The software may seem difficult to navigate at first.
