GBFactBox 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.

GBUseful but not mature I like where the team at FactBox is going, but they need to workout some workflow and data organization issues. The main workflow issue is keeping everyone in sync with updates. It is very hard to find out what facts have been entered since a given date. The organization of uploaded files, vs text is also strange.

GBI 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

GBit is good but not great. To be efficient,I want to be able to review a multipage document and send certain facts to fact box from any page within that document. It is essential that, when I later look up the source of the fact, I be able to click and get back to the page from which it came. It is very frustrating to have take one step to get back to the source document, and then another one within the source to arrive at the page from which the fact was sourced. Since writing the review above, I have learned that you can actually linked directly from a particular page of the source document if the source document has already been uploaded the Factbox server. I look forward to being able to use this feature.

GBA litigation fact management app for the rest of us. FactBox is similar in some respects to on older solution - CaseMap. But it is better in several respects. It is web-based, so it is platform agnostic and accessible regardless of whether you are on a Mac, iPad, PC, whatever. You log in and there it is. Plus, it allows you to upload files directly into the system. This is imho superior to Casemap, which depends on Acrobat linking within your network. The links would often become broken and your work was effectively lost. FactBox is relatively young product and I look forward to added features as the product matures.
