“perfectly designed software for bankruptcy”
Pros
After years on an outdated bankruptcy program, the company was sold and tried to move me to their partner, Best Case. Right at that time NextChapter was in its testing phase and I volunteered. My first impression was that it was the ultimate version this type of software could achieve. Three years later, I am even more sure of that. I have never found an application so perfectly designed for its job and major credit to the team.
Cons
A few of the steps in the process are not immediately clear and take some practice but once we understand the flow, it becomes incredibly easy.

“Great layout with easy information entry”
Pros
NextChapter's layout is great and entering information is pretty easy too. Also having immediate access to court notices is another big plus. The process for filing cases has also become much simpler.
Cons
My main issue is that batch downloads do not include the docket numbers on entries, even though those numbers are visible in the PACER notices section. I also wish I could file a wider variety of documents with their attachments directly through the platform.

“So simple to get the hang of”
Pros
The platform is so simple to get the hang of. Whenever I have a question, I can find the solution in just a couple of minutes which lets me get right back to working productively.
Cons
Since I do not use it frequently, I have not found anything to complain about. In my limited use, the experience has been completely hassle-free.
