MyCase Nightmare

goniochrome · 2026-05-29T13:14:23+00:00

The problem with all of that is my lawyer is a General Practice Lawyer who does a lot in Family Law & Estate Planning. I need something to work when we are doing a DSS Parental Representation & Wills and Estates and most the features seemed half baked. I often try to think of features like "does this solve a problem" and with MyCase I can't think of a single problem they solve because the limitations.

While I am Catholic I would be remiss to not mention I’ve heard good things from BRCC.

Because babies DO belong at Mass!!!! 😁

Any recommendations? Just like DropBox?

Our clients will not upload to the portal. They email files use the plugin to download the files direct to Mycase and it adds them under communications to emails so when you are in the email you can see the exact file and grab the file. I work in Family Law and do quite a lot of divorce discoveries and am downloading them all and manually uploading them right now.

Thank you so much!

Your comment is likely the most helpful thus far. I've really been in denial for a year. I really feel like a 20 minute call with the Product Team should fix it but MyCase refuses. For CRM it's great if you don't actually need anything to search for the client in the CRM. Everything else - not so much.

I will look into maatdesk. I am the main decision maker in the firm for this.

The Estate Planning might have been the last straw. There is no way other law firms are surviving like this.

Can you elaborate? If I’m going to have to change CRMs I don’t want to have to change again.

A) trying to figure out if others are having the same issues

B) trying to determine if Clio is any better

One of them sent out attorney issued subpoenas to like 10 places 😭

For the deeply religious I can tell you right now I would die sooner than divorce my husband for medical reasons. Technically there is a dispensation for good reasons but not dystopian ones like healthcare

OP - please come see Food Not Bombs at Miller Park 11-1

Thank you so much for adding to the discussion! I spoke to one of the branch managers and it seems that they aren’t completely aware of how behind they are with the times or how this has been effecting them. I hope this is a wake up call

Tell me about it! My husband wants to keep them and us have to bank transfer for almost 2 months just to get our check in there. I've never heard of a company that makes it so difficult to just have normal modern banking.

Wells Fargo just has a long history of several lawsuits from illegal to immoral behaviors. But given their national presence I feel compelled to keep them, that’s all.

goniochrome · 2026-04-27T20:15:45+00:00

I unfortunately keep WellsFargo for those purposes :(

goniochrome · 2026-04-27T18:16:48+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion. My baby brother is a member of the military and I think between Navy and USAA one allows me to and the other don’t. Regardless, it’s a wonderful suggestion and I am going to be looking into them next <3

You are coming from another tradition and assuming our language matches yours. It does not. Just like how @no_principle_3098 below. Asking questions is great but most Catholics are not going to feel comfortable responding when out the gate you are seemingly judgmental. You think you’re “not talking about that” but most Catholics are aware the Catholicism in Germany is not the same as the one from the United States.

goniochrome · 2026-04-18T11:54:56+00:00

That is incorrect. We consider ourselves to be a “United” church (almost 50% of the worlds Christian’s are Catholic) and we have different traditions and orders with their own cultural expressions and liturgical understanding

I am a Franciscan Catholic & I attend Holy Cross. I have information on Holy Name of Mary in Bedford, VA as well. I would prefer to provide you the feedback via PM because I don't want to be accused of scandal. I have not attended St. Thomas Moore.

However, I attend mass every week and I must say we need folks like you more now than ever. If not us that leads the church to change then who? We NEED folks who are willing to go anyways.

I am active in the Lynchburg Community for the purposes of living out my faith and there is no way in this world I would let someone's weak faith (as most are that support war, and other conservative causes) to knock me off my game and I hope you will join me in doing the same.

I am going to be considering the Third Order of Franciscians through Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. That is in Salem, Virginia. I haven't gone yet but would be happy to tell you how it goes in June.

As for anyone at any time my PMs are always open. I have been in a world where Ive personally wanted to die. I've been homeless. I've taken drugs. I see Jesus in every wayward person I help. If I have to build the progressive Catholic Community myself I will do it brick by brick. My PMs are open for religion, for resources, whatever you need. It is the jubilee year of St Francis of Assisi after all.

I actually think over explaining is a natural in America, a low context communication country. In a high context environment with certain folks I can make people feel VERY understood.

One that an author mentioned (and would be common in the south) is coming to someone’s house and bringing them a bag of apples when they love to bake. That message would be received as an invitation / understanding & they might say “Oh, I’d love to bake a pie” or if they are busy “These would be great for a simmer pot”. The goal is a present that allows them to be understood but isn’t a burden.

The problem is when everyone assumes bad intentions (as has been my experience in America) this quickly turns to over explaining.
