Software Review: Needles Case Management Software

Javerbaum Wurgaft Hicks & Zarin is a tort litigation firm based in Springfield, NJ. The firm consists of six partners, associate attorneys, and support staff. We have used the Needles Case Management Software System since 1991 (at that time, it was called PINS, which was the DOS-based version of the program). The firm, at the time, was looking for a program that would organize the office and streamline casework. We were swamped with paper files and though we had a case flow, it was disorganized. Today, with 20 people in the office using the Needles program to manage cases, our firm is more organized than ever before.
