Pros

I have encountered a few startup challenges, and the team is remarkably responsive within minutes. This aspect is crucial for me. The program appears to be efficient, and while it may not be fluidly easy, it functions quite seamlessly. So far, the integration of the client portal, which I consider vital, appears to be quite robust, and the single case I have filed to date uploaded without any issues. I am very pleased with my experience thus far.

Cons

While using the software, I have come across a few bugs. Every time I log in, I receive an error message that I need to click through to proceed. The names of the forms I create do not save correctly and are simply labeled as pdf 1. Also, the procedure for creating a local form requirement lacks clarity and is not very easy. There are a few other minor issues that I cannot fully remember right now, but overall, none of these have been particularly frustrating for me.

Pros

The product excels at managing data entry, the responsiveness to adding, deleting, or editing data is immediate. There is no buffering or timing out whatsoever. The 'help' resource is the most comprehensive I have ever encountered and is incredibly useful in guiding one through the features, offering step-by-step instructions with visuals for tasks such as e-filing.

Cons

We have recently started to utilize the My Chapter client portal feature, and so far, I find myself wishing that some changes could be implemented. For example, it would be beneficial to review the data entry in pdf format before needing to submit or accept it on the portal. Furthermore, it would be advantageous if the process did not have to be an all-or-nothing approach, allowing clients to add further information through the portal later on. While I understand the reasoning behind the current design, I am hopeful that improvements can be made in the future.

Pros

The speed of the software, its interactive layout, and the incredibly helpful customer support make for a great experience.

Cons

Entering CMI and multiple social security numbers can be a little complicated compared to the simplicity of other functions within the program. Also, I find that the points of contact in the PACER Notices need to be opened and labeled.
