Lawcus review

Lawcus has the lowest published entry price here: Essential costs $39 per user per month billed annually or $49 monthly, and it already includes case and matter management, billing and invoicing, and trust accounting with retainers. Matters can be tracked on kanban-style pipelines, which suits practices with repeatable stages such as immigration or bankruptcy. The pricing page also lists statute of limitation alerts, matter-level billing rules, timers, soft and hard cost tracking, LEDES and UTBMS codes, bulk invoices and online payments by ACH, eCheck or card. Growth at $59 adds QuickBooks and Xero sync, Google and Office 365 integration, custom fields and the Nova AI assistant. Elite at $79 adds workflow and marketing automation and a custom report builder. Two catches matter for solo users: the mobile app is only available to firms with more than one user, and two-way texting costs $10 per attorney per month plus a registration fee for the number.
