Best Case

Best Case, by Stretto, is software that helps law firms and bankruptcy attorneys prepare and file bankruptcy cases. It's available in both desktop and cloud-based versions, so is suitable for solo attorneys as well as bigger offices with several staff members. It helps with the everyday tiring and heavy paperwork for each case by collecting client information, calculating income totals, and submitting files directly to the court electronically.

The platform keeps track of important court dates, syncs events to team calendars, and manages PACER notices without extra effort. It reduces manual data entry and helps law firms stay organized and fully compliant. 

What Is Best Case Best For? 

A notable feature of Best Case is its OneTouch Filing, an automated electronic filing feature. The attorneys don't need to manually upload documents to the court's system one by one, instead OneTouch does it for them. It connects to the court's site, uploads the right documents in the right order, and once documents are submitted, it returns a case number and receipt. It also handles filings that come up after the case is opened. It helps firms that file often and want to cut down the time spent on manual court submissions, especially during critical file submissions.
