Agree with you.
I’m using Lawsyt’s practice management software
they have most features that I need & they have affordable packages.
I’ve never heard of view a bill or plainlegal but i have tested some including mycase and cosmolex. Right now i am in a trial with practicepanther and seem to like it the best as it’s the easiest to use so far.
MatterSuite is also a good legal software, it has all the features that a law practice management software like legal billing, calendaring, eTags, conflict check, document management, evidence management, legal research library, and more. Recently they have also launched an elm software solution for their legal professionals.
