It installs with Microsoft Access runtime and .NET components, and hosting is set up through a form.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
TrialWorks's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published; the vendor sells through consultations.

0/25
Other law practice software it is graded above
TrialWorks's GPA of 1.4 is higher than 0 of the 25 other law practice software we grade, and level with 1.
It stands best on value for money (C, above 5 of 25) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
