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now has a Zapier or Integromat integration but leap don't. They have their own ecosystem of apps which are all a bit outdated and don't have the functionality we need.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

  • 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.
