VERDICT

Should I use Lawcus?

Legal practice management software with visual kanban workflows, intake, CRM, and billing. - lawcus.com

Depends. Buy if you run a solo or small law firm and want kanban-style matter management with intake, CRM, and billing bundled in one tool. Skip it if you're a large firm needing enterprise customization, or a simple practice that only needs contacts and documents.
