## Reviews

### "Great web-based legal software solution." — 4.0/5

> **BRITTON** | *October 28, 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is a web-based system that lets you access it wherever you are.  We have many remote employees and knowing they can access in the office or on the road makes it very convenient.
> 
> **Cons**: There are still some bugs that are being worked out, but they encourage feedback and are responsive.  Setting some items up can be time consuming but once set up it is a pretty smooth experience.
> 
> Overall, it has been a great addition to our law firm, and we will continue to grow with it.  So far it has been able to handle everything we have put into it.

### "Changing to Clio" — 2.0/5

> **C** | *December 10, 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that email is part of the program.  Every email I draft is billed to the matter ... when it works.
> 
> **Cons**: Frequent issues, calendar items disappear from calendar, emails won't save to the matters and billing issues.  Customer service says their engineers don't know what the problem is.
> 
> Not good.  Customer service takes at least a week to resolve problems.  This year, I notice an extraordinarily large charge on my cc statement.  Turns out, they eliminated the plan I was on and doubled my annual charge\!  I have multiple users so this was an outrageous increase.

### "RUN, don't walk away from CARET\!" — 1.0/5

> **PHILLIP** | *February 20, 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a decent database and calendaring system. That is all I can recommend about CARET. There is nothing else positive to say.
> 
> **Cons**: Everything else is TERRIBLE\! The billing (Accounting) program is almost worthless. It has so many bugs you have to work around that it makes running statements a nightmare every month. When you call tech support about a problem, you get a five step process to "force" the program to perform a task it  claims it does automatically. Tech support tells you they don't correct problems until enough people complain. And for all of this, you get a 15% increase every year at renewal time.
> 
> Would NOT recommend using CARET, especially the accounting program. The software is buggy and the company couldn't care less about improving the product.

### "Great Program for Work" — 5.0/5

> **Brooke** | *December 29, 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Caret offers a lot of Organization in the layout which I love, and I also found that it was very beginner friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: sometimes the cloud will glitch and things are not showing up but it usually corrects itself in matter of mins.
> 
> 9/10 -  if you are used to using a computer, it is all very user friendly and didn't require a ton of videos to get the use of it down. It was pretty standard.

### "CARET Legal helps us to focus on what matters most" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *November 21, 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allows us to focus on important tasks by automating what otherwise would be manual work. Also, the ease of use helps our veteran staff feel more comfortable using the program.
> 
> **Cons**: There are no issues worth noting. We are pleased with the program and how it has made our working day less complicated.
