Cloud Hosting – You can access MyCase anytime, anywhere—including on your phone and on the go. PCLaw is an on-premise software that requires a server and in-person maintenance, limiting remote access.
All-In-One Solution – MyCase includes everything a law firm needs in a single platform. PCLaw is a billing and accounting tool with little practice management functionality.

Molly Bagshaw / Associate Attorney, Hochglaube & DeBorde
We process hundreds of new prospects every single month. There’s no way we’d be able to tackle that volume in a timely manner without MyCase and how organized it is.
Vi Nanthaveth / Nanthaveth & Associates, PLLC
MyCase is a joy to use, helps you keep an eye on the progress of your cases, communicate easily and securely with clients, and, most importantly, let’s me spend more time with my passion – practicing law.
Janaan Hashim / Amal Law Group, LLC
Because of MyCase, I have never been this busy. At the same time, I’ve never had things this under control.
Aaron Feldman / Feldman Law Group
MyCase helps me stay organized and on top of my busy practice no matter where I am.
Emily Amara Gordon / Amara Immigration Law, LLC
We would have to adopt four or five other platforms to replace MyCase. There’s no way we could have scaled a criminal defense firm to 10 people working towards a common goal if we didn’t have MyCase.
