# TrialWorks review (2026): is it worth it? > Legacy case management for trial and personal injury firms Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Law Practice Software - **Made by:** Assembly Software - **Website:** https://support.trialworks.com - **Runs on:** Windows - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you use a Mac or want a cloud tool, as it's a Windows program. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing TrialWorks's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - Existing TrialWorks firms looking for support, release notes and training guides - Personal injury and mass tort firms already on the product ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; the vendor sells through consultations. Nothing on record to set against the $59 middle of law-practice tools. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on record anywhere in the listing. - **Features: C.** Docketing, 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It installs with Microsoft Access runtime and .NET components, and hosting is set up through a form. - **Platforms and integrations: D.** One operating system, Windows. Four integrations listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Assembly Software's own pages on 12 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/law-practice ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Case management, documents and calendar: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Microsoft Outlook, DocuSign, Stamps.com, Microsoft Access **Tags:** Case management, Documents, Calendar ## Alternatives - [Filevine](https://toolgpa.com/tools/filevine): Case management and the LOIS legal AI system, sold by quote.
