From chaos to clarity

When Oscar Garza started his practice in 2007, he was a one-man shop. As he began to acquire more cases, he needed a solution that tracked deadlines, organized casework, and gave him a real handle on how many cases he had at any given time, especially as he expanded into mass tort litigation.

"My old office went through three or four different systems," Oscar says. "And every time they tried a new system, we'd experience growing pains and learning curves." Before that, the team tracked everything by hand. "We kept track of everything in Word documents, but I realized that it wasn't sustainable with the number of clients we had."

Oscar eventually moved his firm to CasePeer.

"I needed an easy-to-use, cloud-based case management system to help me grow the mass torts side of my practice, handle deadlines, and understand how many cases we have." — Oscar Garza, Founder

"I just feel more comfortable doing a mass tort case because the platform tracks everything."

Today, Oscar uses CasePeer to run multiple practice locations from one place. "CasePeer helps us manage and monitor the output of our employees," he says. "It's geared towards personal injury, and that helps us stay on top of our deadlines."

Full visibility for quality services 

Prior to CasePeer, Oscar didn’t know how many active cases he had, when tasks were completed, and who was completing them.

“Now, we can confidently handle more cases, keep those cases moving, and make sure everyone’s doing what they’re supposed to be doing,” he says. “With CasePeer, I always know how many active cases we have directly from the homepage.”

Built-in automation and notifications also help the team stay on top of statutes and litigation deadlines.

"I check the statute of limitations in CasePeer every three months to make sure that we file the cases that are coming up on their statutes," he says. "That was something that kept me awake at night, and CasePeer gives us peace of mind."

Maximizing advertising dollars

Beyond casework, Oscar turns to CasePeer's reporting to see what's actually working across the firm.

"We run reports on different aspects of the firm, and that's helped us focus on what's working and what's not working, across both case and practice management," he says.

With CasePeer's lead tracking, he can see exactly where new cases are coming from and which investments are paying off.

"CasePeer has cut out the guesswork. We now have a good idea of how things are working on the advertisement side. Then we can sit down with our advertisers and invest more or less."

That same simplicity carries through to the software itself. "It's user-friendly and doesn't require too much inside knowledge. I like the simplicity and consistency of CasePeer," Oscar says.
