Black Friday: is there a TrialWorks sale?
TrialWorks report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for existing TrialWorks firms
TrialWorks is a long-running case management program for trial and personal injury firms, with docketing, mass tort cases and document templates. But it runs on Windows only, its public site is a support page, and the vendor now points new buyers to Neos, which is built on it.
Who TrialWorks is for
- Fits if your firm already runs TrialWorks and wants to keep going
- Works for personal injury shops that need mass tort and workers' comp modules
Who TrialWorks is not for
- Skip it if you use a Mac or want a cloud tool, as it's a Windows program
- Not for you if you want a price, trial or feature page, none of which the public site has
- Watch out: Assembly Software describes Neos as the product built on TrialWorks, so new buyers may be sent there
- Watch out: hosting is arranged through a form on the support site, not self-service
Why TrialWorks gets a 1.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; the vendor sells through consultations. Nothing on record to set against the $59 middle of law-practice tools.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial on record anywhere in the listing.
- CFeaturesDocketing, mass tort cases, contacts, templates, a workers' comp module and e-signature. The public site shows no feature list to compare with newer cloud tools.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It installs with Microsoft Access runtime and .NET components, and hosting is set up through a form.
- DPlatforms and integrationsOne operating system, Windows. Four integrations listed.

Keep TrialWorks, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of TrialWorks you could make: case management, documents and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 24 of the 25 other law practice software grade higher.
What you could make
- Case management, documents and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. TrialWorks’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is TrialWorks?
TrialWorks is a case management program for trial lawyers, now owned by Assembly Software and supported through its own help site. Assembly presents its cloud product Neos as the next step for TrialWorks customers, and the support site still lists releases up to version 11.4.
Worth knowing
- No pricing is published; Assembly Software describes Neos as the product built on TrialWorks and sells it through consultations.
- The install notes mention Microsoft Access runtime and .NET components, so it appears to be a Windows program; the vendor lists no other platforms.
- The public site is a support hub, so there is no feature or integration page to compare against newer cloud tools.
- Hosting is arranged through a hosting setup form on the support site rather than self-service.
Key features
- Docketing
- A docket tab tracks deadlines and court dates for each case, with a training guide on the support site.
- Mass tort cases
- The support site documents a way to manage many plaintiffs in a mass tort, plus tabs for settlements and negotiations on each case.
- Contacts and call log
- Contact management with an import from Outlook, a call log and calls manager, and a mailing wizard for letters.
- Document templates and search
- Template training and a document search tool called TWSearch are part of the documented workflow, along with FileIT for filing documents.
- Workers' compensation module
- A separate module for workers' compensation cases is documented on the support site, with its own training guide.
- Messaging and e-signature
- Guides cover SMS messaging, DocuSign, Stamps.com postage and service on an attorney by email from inside the program.
