“Useful for case retrieval, but watch for duplicate charges”
Pros
I don't use it that regularly but the per-document fee option is just �perfect.
Cons
I keep getting double charged for the same document, which is really frustrating. I don't want to make a big deal about it but it's definitely a turn-off. I stopped using the service because of it. It would be great if the system remembered what I've already retrieved and didn't charge me again for the same document or if there's any other solution to this issue, that would be helpful. For now, I'm done with it.

Cons
There were some problems when downloading information but Docket Alarm's customer service was quick to respond and kept me updated on progress. They resolved the issue fast and I couldn't ask for better support.

“Docket Alarm works fine”
Pros
It has been really easy to use and there are a huge range of cases available to work with.
Cons
Legal documents sometimes are behind a paywall and I wish there was a way to notify the user of that before they click on it.
