Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Leap has decent tools for case management but it is terrible if you want your system to do anything else.

Cons

  • Really poor integration options. We use a piece of online booking software and some marketing automation software for chasing up new lead. Normally we would use Zapier to integrate these tools with a CRM but there is no way for us to integrate these tools with leap. Most other legal management software now has a Zapier or Integromat integration but leap don't. They have their own ecosystem of apps which are all a bit outdated and don't have the functionality we need. I've tried several times to get access to the API to see if a developer could build our own integration but customer service refuse to give him an account.

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.
