Here at Merus, we work hard to make sure that everyone using our system is getting the best experience. We take pride in our ability to save law firms money, help them work more efficiently, and make the lives of lawyers much easier so that they can spend less time working and more time doing the things they love. For those of you who may be on the fence when it comes to the benefits of MerusCase -- or legal practice management technology, period -- check out what Jeff D’Andre from D’Andre, Peterson, Bobus & Rosenberg LLP had to say!
Jeff acquired his law firm roughly 20 years ago and now owns five offices throughout Northern and Southern California. Jeff and his team have been an integral part of the Merus family for several years now and were kind enough to share their experience with us.
When Jeff D'andre first acquired his law firm, he knew that figuring out a way to efficiently store his files was going to be an important task for him to tackle. As a forward-thinking, tech-savvy lawyer, he was eager to jump right in and start using a popular server-based system that promised to help organize his firm.
A few short months after Jeff had fully integrated his firm's data, he quickly found that the system was holding him back more than it was helping! As costly as the system was, he couldn't use it when he was out of the office, he couldn't upload any additional documents, his email was inaccessible through the platform, and it was difficult to locate specific files without having to go through multiple iterations of search terms. After years of struggling with expensive maintenance and cumbersome features, he knew there had to be a better way.
It wasn't long after Jeff began researching new practice management technology that he discovered MerusCase, the cloud-based system that seemed to offer all of the tools and features he was looking for. After spending some time trying out the product and talking to the Merus team, Jeff decided that it was time to make the switch to Merus and start managing his law firm in a way that just made sense.
“Today,” says Jeff, “I can access my firm’s data anywhere, anytime, from any of my devices. I’m never without important case-related files and checking in on my associates’ work is a breeze.” He goes on to explain that many of the MerusCase features, such as Activity Tagging, has simply made his life easier. “Tagging has made it simple for me to instantly see what records I have received; I can quickly post something out of a file from any device and any location, and important documents with tags are bolded and appropriately colored, making it more noticeable to those who need to see it.”
Another aspect of MerusCase that Jeff appreciates is the fact that it truly is easy to use and completely intuitive, calling the transition to Merus a “shallow learning curve.” “No one in the firm had a problem getting the hang of how to use the system,” noted Jeff, “even our least tech-savvy partners at the time. It was so simple that we were rolled out over the weekend and able to start working Monday morning without any interruption in productivity. “
Ultimately, Jeff believes that MerusCase has been a game-changing experience for his business. With Merus by his side, Jeff’s firm has managed to increase transparency, save time, and increase his firm’s profit significantly. “My firm is far more profitable today than it was before MerusCase;” Jeff notes, “honestly, the ROI speaks for itself.”
