Pros from Real Users Pros Very user friendly and convenient. If there has ever been an issue, the support team is right on top of it and let you know about any issues. I am technologically impaired and this is great software for clients to use to make direct payments. I have been very satisfied with this program and would recommend it without hesitation. Charles Van Orden Attorney at Law I love how easy it is to create invoices, log payments and easily see when clients have a balance. Sending invoice reminders is super easy!!! We had another program previously - it was great, but it also had a lot of features that were not needed in our small practice. Love that the payments are deposited into bank account quickly. LawPay is easy to use. Very happy with this product. Great service and excellent platform. I have used them for many years and have never had an issue. Fast deposits! So easy to provide the QR code or link to customers, easy to issue refunds & void incorrect payments. Reports are so helpful! Make reconciling my accounts much easier! I cannot say enough how relieved I was when we implemented LawPay, and that it's remained as helpful as was touted to us! 10/10! Easy to use, I've never had any issues, love the option to create schedules, refund clients, recharge clients - Ability to run auto payments for recurring invoices - Change to funds being deposited in the bank next day - Reporting 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.		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.
