Great service.
Great service. Loses a star for not telling me that there's a paywall to save your pdfs once they're filled.

I think that it's a great thing. It makes fighting a case much easier.
That more people don't use it. There is nothing else that I like least about it. My vice president used it also an has no problems with it.
