Lextiff vs MyCase.
Which is right for your firm?

MyCase is a popular legal platform known for its clean interface. But like most general legal software, it wasn't built around the specific workflow of contingency fee plaintiff firms.

The context

MyCase wasn't built only for plaintiff firms.

MyCase is clean, modern, and accessible. But it was designed for general law practice. Plaintiff firms using MyCase often find themselves working around the platform rather than with it — tracking SOL deadlines externally and managing settlement math in spreadsheets.

→ No built-in SOL tracking for plaintiff cases
→ Settlement calculations not native to the platform
→ Lien management requires external tools
→ General workflows don't match plaintiff firm needs
→ Billing-focused features not relevant to contingency firms
→ Annual contracts on most plans

"MyCase looked clean and easy to use. But when we needed SOL tracking across 40 active cases and settlement math that showed liens and expenses, we hit a wall."
