Compare platforms & build a checklist →The decision this platform raises
Consider Filevine when the evaluation centers on configurable matter workflows and the relationship between intake and case operations. Assign an internal owner for fields, task logic, report definitions, and change requests before implementation.
Pricing and package scope
Custom quotePackages are custom built. Request an itemized quote for the matter platform and required extensions. Official vendor source ↗
Ask for a written quote using your actual users and required workflows. Separate recurring licenses, usage, third-party services, implementation, and migration. Published features do not establish your contract terms.
What to verify by operating area
Intake & handoff
Separate named productLead Docket is the named intake product. Treat intake scope as a separate line in the proposed bundle. Official source ↗
Acceptance test: Create an inquiry, preserve its source and communication history, sign an agreement, then convert it into a matter. Which fields and attachments transfer?
PI case operations
Published Matters packageMatters lists tasks, contacts, deadlines, document management, and document assembly. Official source ↗
Acceptance test: Walk through treatment, record requests, medical bills, liens, expenses, and a proposed settlement. Show who owns each next action.
Reporting & attribution
ExtensionPeriscope is listed as a business-analytics extension. Confirm the reports included in your quote. Official source ↗
Acceptance test: Trace a signed case to its original campaign. Reconcile the report to actual matters, including duplicates, referrals, rejected leads, and unknown sources.
Client communication
ExtensionClient Portal is listed as an extension. Confirm access, messaging, and licensing requirements. Official source ↗
Acceptance test: Send a message, collect a document, and reassign the matter. Show the shared history, permissions, and escalation when nobody responds.
Integration & exit
Extension / scope confirmationDataBridge and integrations appear among the extensions. Validate your specific export and integration requirements. Official source ↗
Acceptance test: Import a representative sample, reconcile totals and attachments, and export it again. Who fixes mapping errors, and what is omitted from the export?
Three questions for your Filevine demo
- Which demonstrated functions belong to Matters, Lead Docket, Periscope, or another extension?
- Change a case stage and show the tasks, deadlines, and notifications that follow. Who maintains those rules?
- Show the intake-to-matter handoff, then reconcile a campaign report to signed matters without a spreadsheet repair step.
Use a sanitized or fictional case. Have the people who will perform the work observe the demonstration. Record what worked live, what required configuration, and what remains unresolved.
Plan implementation before the signature
Assign a firm-side owner, map required fields and permissions, and test a representative import. Reconcile matter counts, documents, deadlines, and source history. Define the launch gate and a recovery plan if a critical workflow fails.
Review exceptions after launch rather than counting logins alone. Can the next responsible person see the full history, the next action, and the deadline? Can leadership reconcile the report to actual cases?
Build the handoff requirements with our intake follow-up audit and law-firm attribution guide.
Meet the ecosystem with a plan
