GBI like it, but one annoying thing. I actually think it is quite useful, but sometimes I enter in a wrong fact and cannot delete the entry. For example if I enter 2006 Deed of Trust, but it was actually a 2007 Assignment of of Deed of Trust I can edit the content, but the heading still says. I typically just delete the whole thing and retype it, but the empty box stays in the form, which is a little distracting. Overall it is a very useful, but that is an annoying little kink.

AUExcellent case management tool Our legal clinic started using FactBox a few months ago for our most complex matters. Most of the clinic staff are law students learning how to practice the law. This software is brilliant at helping them isolate each of the 'facts' of a matter like who said what and when, significant events etc, and then sort that information into useful associations. The software enables students to focus on individual parts of a matter and to find where there are gaps in information. This benefit of the software should not be underestimated, even for experienced lawyers. As our clinic grows I am certain FactBox will become a staple in our clinic's tool kit. (And the FactBox team are very friendly, responsive and helpful - what a bonus!)

GBTop notch product Exactly what we were looking for in a case/issue management system, at a price that makes sense.

GBGreat for non-legal work too Although FactBox is primarily marketed to lawyers. It is great for non-legal work too. I use it as an artist and professor for keeping track of images, research, to-do lists and to develop ideas for a project. It beats anything else on the market for these combined functions, including BaseCamp, EverNote, Word or Trello. Even if say something like Trello is better at To-Do lists on its own, nothing combines these functions of product development.

GBFactBox is the best litigation chronology software available. I am a trial lawyer who has been handling medical malpractice cases for 42 years. Every case has a chronology, and in medical malpractice cases, these chronologies are the foundation of the case. Every progress note, every medical treatment, is a potential separate fact. For years I would create an outline or chronology of the important facts in my case, but there was no link to the actual medical record. Factbox has created a program that I have always thought was critical for litigation. Now, not only can I create a factual chronology, but I can assign facts to critical issues and filter just for those facts. Even more critical, howerve, is the ability to link, not only the complete medical record to a particular fact, but the specific page from the medical record to the fact. Now, instead of scrolling through hundreds of pages of medical records to see the actual progress note that corresponds to the fact, with one click I can bring it up for review. Brilliant! I have been waiting for a program like this for many years, and I delighted that such a well thought out program has finally been created by developers who know exactly what is the most essential software program for managing the multiple facts associated with a medical malpractice case. Additionally, the support is excellent. The developers really have an interest in helping lawyers be better lawyers using their product. I have written and lectured extensively on the subject of technology in litigation, and state with a certain degree of experience that this is a must have program for litigators.
