Before founding James Morris Law in 2004, James E. Morris held senior and managing partner positions in firms focused on personal injury cases. Hence, it was a natural choice for the firm to focus on workers' compensation and personal injury, mainly work injury claims. Super Lawyers, which cultivates a list of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition, has selected Mr. Morris for his work as a personal injury attorney for the past ten years.  



When the firm wanted to switch to cloud-based case management software, Neos was the obvious choice. Its industry-leading functionalities and the firm's familiarity with Needles, also from Assembly Software, made it the ideal option. 

Before Neos

With Needles, the firm needed to remote into their desktops through a downloaded app. Whatever device they were trying to work on had to have a specific app to access their desktop. It wasn't an easy thing to do, and connections dropped often. 



Once they began using Neos, the whole team could work from anywhere. Haley Faust, the firm's paralegal, loves the ease with which she can jump back and forth between cases she is working on and access all the information regardless of location or device. 



Furthermore, she says that "Neos helps our firm track every case from beginning to end clearly and efficiently. All calendar items easily tag to cases, integrations with OneDrive make calendar integration a breeze, and it's truly the best place to house everything on your case from start to finish. I constantly find more things in the system that make me and our office more efficient."

With Neos

Neos Increased Productivity and Flexibility Within the Firm  

For James Morris Law, transitioning to the cloud created a best-of-both-worlds situation. Neos was similar enough to Needles that the learning curve was low, yet, the cloud-based platform offered flexibility and several helpful features, such as effortless document generation, customized templates and collaboration, e-signature, and report subscriptions.  



Before Neos, Haley would need to create new documents on firm letterhead and manually input all information for the case (names, addresses, dates, etc.), slowing her down and diminishing her overall efficiency. 



Now she can effortlessly generate new documents with a few clicks. Neos dynamically populates her templates by pulling information directly from a case, then automatically saves the document to the correct case file, so she doesn't have to worry about filing errors. Accessing the case files from anywhere is helpful because she and her colleagues can pull up specific documents for any case in seconds, in any situation. They are no longer constrained to an office environment. 



Haley also took advantage of Neos' robust dashboard customizations. She created a report for her Neos Today home page that monitors open cases with specific criteria to ensure that nothing critical falls off her radar, and it's the first thing she looks at every day. 

What We Love About Neos

They also were thrilled that Neos' flexibility made it easy to customize their workflows and document management requirements to accommodate their needs.



"I can easily create reports on any open cases, along with tasks for each case. Neos makes it extremely easy to stay up to date and manage every case with a clear understanding of what is going on from start to finish." Haley appreciates that “virtually everything” is customizable within the platform. "I can create any cases, case types, tasks for each case...you name it, it seems like I can create it in the system.”
