Liberating software We are a small, boutique energy and environmental firm, and work all over the country. My firm recently completed a transition to a virtual practice. We no longer maintain a physical office, and all of our data is in the cloud. There was up until recently only one thing keeping us tied to a physical location and server - our case management database. We had used CaseMap for many years, and ultimately switched to the SQL version to facilitate remote access. But the more we worked remotely over the years, the more limited we were because two factors - the need for a physical server and the limitations of a Windows environment. Our firm switched to all Macs several years ago, and we were forced to use virtualization software (Parallels) to run CaseMap. The solution that finally "liberated" us from a physical server, and Windows, is Factbox. It is everything CaseMap is but with the enormous advantage of being SaaS, web-based, and completely integrated with cloud storage solutions like Dropbox. We can now work from anywhere with an internet connection - including on a plane at 38,000 feet. We also use iPads extensively, and Factbox is just as easy to use on a tablet as it is on a desktop. As an added bonus, the technical staff at Factbox is extremely responsive, and has been very helpful in both getting us up to speed (a very shallow learning curve, especially for anyone who is familiar with case/litigation management software), and in responding to and addressing the occasional minor glitch. Superb product at a very reasonable price. Very highly recommended.

FactBox is the best litigation chronology software available. I am a trial lawyer who has been handling medical malpractice cases for 42 years. Every case has a chronology, and in medical malpractice cases, these chronologies are the foundation of the case. Every progress note, every medical treatment, is a potential separate fact. For years I would create an outline or chronology of the important facts in my case, but there was no link to the actual medical record. Factbox has created a program that I have always thought was critical for litigation. Now, not only can I create a factual chronology, but I can assign facts to critical issues and filter just for those facts. Even more critical, howerve, is the ability to link, not only the complete medical record to a particular fact, but the specific page from the medical record to the fact. Now, instead of scrolling through hundreds of pages of medical records to see the actual progress note that corresponds to the fact, with one click I can bring it up for review. Brilliant! I have been waiting for a program like this for many years, and I delighted that such a well thought out program has finally been created by developers who know exactly what is the most essential software program for managing the multiple facts associated with a medical malpractice case. Additionally, the support is excellent. The developers really have an interest in helping lawyers be better lawyers using their product. I have written and lectured extensively on the subject of technology in litigation, and state with a certain degree of experience that this is a must have program for litigators.

Great tool to work through issues, facts, and evidence in one place. Factbox has been a great addition to my practice. I helps organize the issues, facts, and evidence in one place compared to multiple files, forms, and databases I was using previously. I don't have any experience with similar types of service so I cannot honestly compare. The software and interface good and improving. Support has been very responsive.

I have been a subscriber for over a… I have been a subscriber for over a year - use it when I can - but two things happened - 1 there is no more support links for questions so if it is not in the posted info - you don't get help. 2. It no longer works. I can't upload a source document - which is a critical component for all lawyers - so - it has failed in very important ways. Too bad - as it would otherwise be a decent platform

Excellent case management tool Our legal clinic started using FactBox a few months ago for our most complex matters. Most of the clinic staff are law students learning how to practice the law. This software is brilliant at helping them isolate each of the 'facts' of a matter like who said what and when, significant events etc, and then sort that information into useful associations. The software enables students to focus on individual parts of a matter and to find where there are gaps in information. This benefit of the software should not be underestimated, even for experienced lawyers. As our clinic grows I am certain FactBox will become a staple in our clinic's tool kit. (And the FactBox team are very friendly, responsive and helpful - what a bonus!)
