The report card
Best for case management for firms using QuickBooks or Office 365
Amicus Attorney handles contacts, calendar, documents, billing, a client portal and mobile time tracking. No price is published, only a custom quote, and some features are listed for its sister product CARET Legal only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the vendor gives a custom quote after a few questions. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial listed. CARET Legal has a trial button but Amicus Attorney only has a demo request. |
| Features | C | Contacts, calendar, tasks, documents, email, billing, portal and mobile time tracking. But the comparison table lists data migration for CARET Legal only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A firm has to set up matters, billing and documents. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with QuickBooks and Microsoft Office 365. The pages don't say which platforms it runs on. |
