Key Features of Law Office Software

Front Office

Malpractice Protection: Eliminate the #1 cause of malpractice claims – missed deadlines.

File Control: New files and changes are added immediately and linked, with no chance of misplacing the file.

Document Control: Create documents with just a click of your mouse. Instantly view all your documents, emails, attachments, and scanned images.

Matter Management: Files, notes, matters (projects) and documents are linked, so you can stop working piecemeal.

Easily Return to Previous Work Following Interruptions: Get back to exactly where you left off.

Perpetual To-do List: Don't waste time rewriting your daily list of things to do. Prioritize, change, postpone, delegate, and complete them without rewriting.

Telephone Messaging: Take phone messages for unavailable colleagues. Link messages to any clients or cases with just a click.

Instant Messaging: Ask a quick question and get an immediate answer. Send a message to everyone (“Whoever has the State v Johnson file, please bring it to me”) and you’re back to work instantly.

Case Management: Instant access to everything related to your case. Track all your firm’s cases - including courts, experts and opposing attorneys. Track all actions needed, advice given, work performed and scheduled work.

Mobile Computing: Keep facts on your firm's laptops and PDA's, then synchronize data (in both directions) back at the office.

Contact Management: Information entered into your address book keeps clients, opposing attorneys, judges, important business contacts, and vendors are all in one place. Addresses, telephone numbers, and notes are always at your fingertips.

Calendar Control: If you're still working with paper - desk, pocket, and master calendar - coordinating is a chore! List all dates for one case, one client, one attorney, a group, or the entire office. Track court dates, statutes of limitations, appointments, meetings, and vacations. Schedule related events using court rules, and practice-mandated timelines. Schedule people, conference rooms, and equipment in a single entry. Eliminate scheduling conflicts.

Work Group Scheduling: Schedule an event for a group and it appears on each member's calendar. Change the event date or the members of a group and the software will change everyone's calendar.

Court Rules and Timelines: Make docket deadlines easy. You'll never again need to search through the rules or count on your fingers to calculate a deadline. Let the computer do it for you, instantly and accurately. Your risk of malpractice plummets.

Conflicts of Interest Checking: No function is more important. No appproach is more effective than using software to do this.

Back Office

Integrated with Front Office: Enter data one time, and use it for all your law office functions.

Time & Billing: Capture more time so you can bill more time. Keep track of your time and bill for it accurately and easily. Enter payments and other data in back office, and you’ll be able to see whether the client has paid in full when you answer his call and view his matter summary information in front office. You won't have to enter data more than once ever again!

Faster Accounting: You went to law school to become an attorney, not an accountant. General ledger, accounts payable, payroll, trust accounting, tax filings.
