Once
I purchased AbacusLaw, my legal life improved. My favorite thing
is the database. I can go to any judge and tell you what cases I've
had before them. I can look up any attorney and tell you what clients
they've represented. If I can't remember a name, there it is in AbacusLaw
linked to the client, or the judge or opposing counsel. It's great!"
