“The full-featured accounting, which allowed us to ditch Quickbooks, is why our firm chose CARET Legal. We handle a lot of criminal defense with clients on payments plans, so having integrated accounting allows us to see our updated trust account balances in real time, which is a godsend when handling those types of cases.”
