What Our Clients Are Saying
Generally, fantastic experience with CosmoLex, and I recommend it to anyone I can.
Multiple features on one platform…Good overall, makes trust accounting simpler.
Switching from PCLaw, I have found the differences to be striking, and it is hard to believe that I ever… suffered through the clunky PCLaw interface. CosmoLex being cloud-based allows me to work remotely (including in Court), which is a considerable positive. It also does not sacrifice in functionality what it provides in convenience. The interface is extremely user friendly and has made managing my practice an absolute delight. Everything is much more smooth, efficient, and centralized. Because I can access it anywhere, including my mobile device, I no longer have to use paper dockets for my clerk to transcribe into my billing software, which saves immense time. “Ryan Heighton”
CosmoLex is an integrated accounting and file management system. No need for separate accounting programme. I started my own practice… bringing many ongoing working files with me to my new practice. I was able to get up and running immediately and create invoices by month-end. LawPay is terrific and I received a payment the next day I invoiced. The support staff are the best and the Knowledge Base and online training sessions are excellent. “Christina Wallis”
I like the consolidation of information within the matter. The interface is very intuitive. CosmoLex has allowed for greater integration… of our billing and scheduling. “Taylor Stanton”
I’ve had a fantastic experience with CosmoLex. It’s streamlined our bookkeeping and accounting practices and given me peace of mind… knowing that I’m in full LSO compliance. “Deepa Tailor”
I like the simplicity of the program. I like that you can link your Microsoft Office to CosmoLex and sends… you reminders. I also like that once you create a bill it is entered and the client’s outstanding billables are then at zero. “Danielle Nealon”
It’s a great tool and an all in one system. User-friendly. Organised. Easy to use. Great features.
The efficiency of the program saves time every day. Having used other programs that have limited functionality, CosmoLex is a… pleasure to work with.

I have found that each and every issue that I have come across has been resolved in an efficient and courteous way. “Terra Vetter”

CosmoLex provides an ‘all in one’ solution to our docketing, accounting, financial reporting, and cloud storage requirements. Customer support for… getting started has been amazing, with ongoing assistance at pretty much any time. Each of our lawyers is now fully integrated into the administration of the firm. We have total transparency amongst the partners, and no one has to take on the burden of the accounting by themselves. “Peter Liston”
I chose CosmoLex because it came on great recommendation from another law firm and has functionalities that other accounting software… does not have (i.e. iOS application for docketing). “Molly Warwick”
The accounting features are comprehensive and the client portal really adds value for clients. The online payment option and partnership… with LawPay is also a fabulous feature. “Deborah Holbrock”

A simple 1-point solution, no need to try and locate parts or a file from other programs because it’s all saved in one location and is easily acceptable by our entire office team. “Sarah Pothier”
CosmoLex provided an all-encompassing program that saved us from having to use different programs for different purposes. It was the… functionality of one program vs. many that attracted us.

I was looking for an alternative to PC Law. I wanted the software to be cloud-based so it would work… on our Apple devices. [CosmoLex] was affordable, and that was attractive. It is pretty user-friendly. Online live agent help is incredible. Ongoing software changes (for no additional fees) and free access to training videos is a huge bonus. “Lisa Burgis Der”
I decided to use a cloud based system to avoid the data corruption problems experienced with PC Law. The CosmoLex… cloud based system permits access from any computer anywhere in the world. I can even input time and client expense from my iphone. CosmoLex is also easy to learn and user friendly. “David Hager”
I was using PC Law, constantly had tech issues, backup issues and could not use it remotely. CosmoLex was the… only bookkeeping software that was law society compliant and which was cloud-based that offered client management, docketing and all bookkeeping functions, as well as additional functionality that just makes all our lives much easier. Our staff can now docket and work remotely and our bookkeepers do not have to be on site to reconcile and perform other tasks. “Aaron Grinhaus”
As a new solo lawyer I was looking for Canadian options other than PC Law. Cosmolex fit that bill. Cosmolex… is currently the only viable option for the Canadian marketplace without having to use cumbersome workarounds and fixes to integrate with Accounting software and it hasn’t disappointed. The support has also been very responsive in the switch over process and the team seems to be responsive to new suggestions. “Colin Sullivan”
I was looking for a complete solution to my practice management and accounting needs. I tried various other platforms including… PCLaw and Clio, but they lacked in usability or functionality compared to CosmoLex. PCLaw is not cloud based, while Clio lacks firm accounting functionality and though they advertise quickbooks syncing, there are major issues with the syncing that requires a great deal of work by the end user. CosmoLex is able to do virtually everything Clio can do with respect to practice management and even has a few unique features. However, where CosmoLex really shines is with its built in accounting system. As a Canadian Lawyer we require certain functionality that our American counterparts do not and CosmoLex has done a great job of meeting our needs. CosmoLex can properly deal with our HST/GST/PST issues and payments as well as offer us accrual based accounting as we are required to use by law. There is NO other cloud based platform with an all-in-one solution for Canadian Lawyers. This is a time and money saver for any firm. “Marc Cumbo”
