Molly Bagshaw / Associate Attorney, Hochglaube & DeBorde
When I’m in trial or in court all day and a client has sent me a message via MyCase, I don’t want to ignore them or wait a week until I get out of trial to respond. It’s so easy for me to pull down the name of another partner or attorney and tag them into the message. That ensures that our clients will get a response as quickly as humanly possible.

Having our forms in the cloud saves us so much time with initial pleadings and intake. If you’re counting across all paralegals and attorneys, we’re saving 20 to 40 hours a week using digitized forms in MyCase.
