Overview
This is the nuts and bolts of running the law practice. How do you track time and bill for your work. Capturing expenses and managing trust accounts are also part of the job.
Most of my clients use PC Law. One solo-practice attorney lives in Amicus Attorney and has spent the time and money to link the time capture information to PC Law for push button client billing. It is not a trivial program to learn to use effectively. I am very impressed with the on-going development and regular product updates that are released.
The classic DOS time & billing solution for attorneys. The Windows version is fairly immature and needs re-engineering. I don't think it is a competitive product for the type of practices I service. That is, those with 1 to 7 attorneys and 1 to 5 staff.
I tried it. It is too attorney-centric to be of use in my consulting practice. I have several clients who value what this program can do.
Collecting time information is only half the problem. I've not tried linking Timeslips with an invoicing system - apparently it can be done.
I like and use QuickBooks to run my consulting practice. It has time and billing, but I don't care for the format of the invoices. I have my own MS Access database that I've used for about 7 years to prepare detailed invoices for clients.
The interface seems to get a little more cluttered every upgrade. But it manages investments just fine.
