Pros from Real Users Pros I love LOIS inside of Filevine. It allows me, as the Marketing Director, to prompt LOIS within a file and it gives me an SEO optimized and factual client story for me to directly publish to our website under our 'case results', which feeds Google and the AI bots our firm's experience to increase our SEO results. It is easy to use, it is a blank slate. It keeps the case moving, I can filter results, LOIS makes it easy to catch up or be brought to speed. It does great with keeping expenses, preparing settlement statements on variable data. Case notes are never an issue. They are always where you enter them. This is a wonderful tool for legal case management and client data management. Additionally, I feel that Filevine is unmatched in terms of its AI capabilities and functionality. centralized case management - keeping deadlines, tasks, and docs organized helps make info accessible to whole team reporting - tracking case progress, monitoring workloads, and identifying outstanding assignments team collaboration - allows attorneys, paralegals, secretaries, and clerks to coordinate work and assign tasks within many different cases Love having our legal case management software and projects all integrated with Filevine's new, upgraded, cutting-edge AI products (Lois Console, Lois for Word, Outlook) Ease of use; natural language comprehension and output; taking 30-60 minute tasks and turning them into 5-10 minute tasks I like that it's very easy to use and FV is constantly coming out with new features and upgrades to fix any bugs, etc.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Easy to use! Makes managing all cases so simple. The process from intake to settlement is smooth!!!! Helps immensely with our time management and organization with documents. We receive a high influx of photos, videos, and other medias that SmartAdvocate has easy-to-use features that assists us. I like that it is very user friendly and it keeps cases very organized. I also like that I can send text messages to the client from the computer without having to use my phone. SmartAdvocate is incredibly customizable and gives us the flexibility to build workflows and processes around how our firm actually operates. It helps create consistency, keeps information organized, and gives us a central place to manage so much of our day to day work. Highly customizable and reliable. Amazing technical support at reasonable prices. I tried all the other popular apps out there. None of them come close to Smart Advocate. Cons There is nothing that i find wrong with Smart Advocate. It is the best program! There are rare occasions where SmartAdvocate will be down or slow, however they address and fix the issue fairly quickly. I don't really have any complaints. Maybe that there are outages sometimes. Because the system is so robust, there is definitely a learning curve. Some features can feel overwhelming at first until you understand how the different pieces work together. User interface needs a bit more of a modern refresh, but it's mostly cosmetic. Can sometimes feel a bit bloated with too many features, but you are by no means required to use them. On the other hand, better to have them than not have them.
