I used the new email and forms and template that made me much more productive. Leap card system was a great system. I have also used the cross reference between the name cards and the matters card was a great feature. The customer support was excellent and despite my years away from technology, the customer support people were extremely helpful and were very patient with me. > > **Cons**: Because I lost my trusty paralegal for the last few years, my institutional knowledge base was disrupted. I did not have a typical hourly basis and therefore when I had to do some bills, it was a relearning process. With the help of customer support, I was able to get the few bills out. > > I am in retirement. I started using Case Management software \[Abacus\] back in the late 80's. In the late 90's I was the Florida family guru concerning software products. in 2000, I got out of the active practice of law because of a medical disability. In 2016, I got back into practice to do collaborative law. When I got back into solo practice in 2016, I tried Abacus. After a year, I found that Abacus was too cumbersome and too expensive. I tried Smokeball which was less expensive and a bit more agile. Then I tried Leap and I found that it more user friendly and robust and less expensive and I used it for the last 4 years of my practice. ----- ### "True “all‑in‑one” system" — 5.0/5 > **Yu** | *24 April 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: it acts as an all‑in‑one system for a sole practitioner. The document automation and precedents save substantial drafting time and give consistency across conveyancing, trust, and lending files. The built‑in workflows replace manual checklists and reduce the risk of missing steps. AML and compliance tools keep files audit‑ready with minimal extra effort. Having matters, documents, billing, trust accounting, and correspondence in one system lowers admin burden and cognitive load. When used properly, LEAP effectively replaces a junior lawyer, practice manager, and compliance officer in one platform > > **Cons**: It may be cost–effort imbalance when you’re not fully using it. It feels expensive for a sole practitioner, especially given the time needed to set up and maintain precedents and workflows. The desktop interface can feel clunky and dated, and email handling—particularly with Outlook Web—adds unnecessary manual steps. LEAP is also quite rigid: you must work “the LEAP way”, which can feel frustrating when you want speed or flexibility. In short, it’s powerful but heavy, unforgiving of under‑use, and sometimes more complex than you’d like for straightforward matters. > > Great and time saving. This is particularly valued by small firms and sole practitioners, where admin overhead falls directly on the principal. Also it is cloude based and convenient to work from any where in the world. ----- ### "LEAP is still a market leader if you are looking for a new case management system." — 5.0/5 > **Helen** | *30 March 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LEAP is constantly evolving and bringing in the use of AI in a useful way to help create efficiences within the team. The support received from our account manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is excellent. > > **Cons**: The technical support can be very efficient but at times as if your issue needs to escalate this can take longer to resolve. It would be an improvement, if technical could jump onto your machine quicker rather than using chat. The cost of the product is on the expensive side compared to other products, but provided you use the product as intended i.e. precedents, workflows, the built in AI capabilities then the efficiencies gained does help to offset the cost. > > LEAP is very intuitive and easy to use, it is an excellent cloud based management system which has everything in one package. I would certainly recommend getting a demonstration if you are looking for a new case management system. ----- ### "A Smart All-In-One Solution for Modern Law Firms" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 March 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LEAP really shines when it comes to keeping your practice organised. Document management and client/case management are both really solid, and the AI and automation features genuinely save you time on the day-to-day stuff. The IDV tools make verifying clients remotely quick and easy, which is a nice touch. The billing side is well covered too\! Trust accounting and other financial features are all built in, so you're not juggling multiple systems. On top of that, you get a designated support person who's always on hand to help with any issues or walk you through features you're not sure about. Tech support has been great overall. > > **Cons**: It's not the cheapest option out there, but honestly you do get what you pay for. The only real gripe is that it can lag or slow down occasionally, which can be a little frustrating when you're in the middle of something. > > LEAP is a comprehensive, well-rounded practice management platform that covers pretty much everything a law firm needs; from case and document management to billing, automation, and client verification. The support team is genuinely helpful and having a dedicated person to turn to makes a real difference. Yes, the price is on the higher end, but for what it offers, it's a worthwhile investment for any firm looking to streamline how they work. It also includes DivorceMate for the family lawyers so you don't need to spend more getting a separate licence. ----- ### "Leap is your one-stop-shop for a boutique law firm" — 5.0/5 > **Jodie** | *30 April 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a one-stop-shop for a practice management and document management system. There is very little we have to use outside of the platform. It allows boutique firms to run their businesses like larger firms do. > > **Cons**: All the different points of contact. I would much prefer to liaise with only one person who can assist me and my firm across various areas. > > I've been using Leap since my firm's inception 10 years ago. Alot has changed since then but I'm loving the product more and more as further software and options are added to the platform. I don't need to go elsewhere to get a better price, or better software options. Leap are always staying ahead of the movements in the legal industry and adapting with it. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/20175/leap?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/20175/leap) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
