Luigi Benetton published an interesting article in the April/May 2008 edition of The Canadian Bar Association‘s National magazine, which discussed the "Mac conversion" experiences of several former PC-using attorneys and firms.   Some of their reasons given by these professionals are:

  • Rob
    Hyndman
    :: After the latest in a string of
    what he calls “Windows catastrophes” and the 24 hours of work it took
    him to restore his system afterwards, Hyndman made a technological
    u-turn and migrated to the Mac.
  • Damien Fox :: “You want something that just works for you,” he says.
  • Jennifer Gabriel :: Since there is so little actual internal IT support needed, she spends more time spearheading new IT initiatives and staffing
    reception.

The article also discusses some of the hurdles that Mac-using attorneys must deal with in their practices, including the fact that there are fewer Mac-specific software options from which to choose.  If you are considering making the switch, you should read the entire article at the link provided below.
