What consultants to law firms are saying about AbacusLaw
AbacusLaw is both structured and flexible with robust standard capabilities.
One firm may find exceptional value in just managing calendars and contacts,
and the next may use rules to document their processes and educate the staff
in law. Form generation is a real time saver for many firms, and the reporting
capabilities help office managers determine the productivity of everyone
on the team. AbacusLaw can help any firm embrace what makes them unique,
while ensuring that they stay within required guidelines (such as with trust
accounting). As I see it, AbacusLaw increases productivity while lowering
risk."

There are several aspects of Abacus that stand out before you even
begin to consider the features. One is the extreme reliability of the data.
It's pretty much a given that it will not get corrupted. Another is its
speed. With hundreds of matters linked to thousands of contacts, if you
print a report listing each matter and all contacts and their role related
to each matter, it begins printing almost immediately, and will be finished
with the report before some of the other available choices even begin to
print."

Imagine scheduling a depo or hearing in the AbacusLaw calendar, clicking a button,
and 10 seconds later, your depo/hearing letter is typed, printed and ready to
mail! Once your documents are set up to merge with Word, WordPerfect or AbacusLaw's
own PDF filler, you can create a letter, pleading, fax cover sheet, retainer
agreement, any fillable PDF, etc., in seconds. AbacusLaw allows you to pull any
information from Events, Contacts, Matters, Notes and Court info into one document.
Generating documents with data already typed by your staff is a huge time-saving
opportunity - and where you save time, you save money."

Most practice management packages include the ability to create merged documents.
Suppose I need to print out a document 2 days after meeting with a client for
the first time. In other packages, I would have to put an event or to-do on my
calendar to remind me to go to the document creation section and create the document.
In Abacus, however, I can set the date to produce the document and associate
it with the actual document form. On the scheduled date, all documents scheduled
for production can be produced in a single step."

Many attorneys have wrestled with how best to preserve email correspondence regarding
cases. Save it (with dubious formatting results)? Print it (and defeat the purpose
of electronic communication)? Well, the new feature creating a link between Abacus
Law and Outlook is producing rave reviews from my clients! The simplicity of
access with the new 'Emails' tab has simplified the task of tracking case-related
emails."

Abacus Law has always (in my opinion) been the best practice manager available.
The Outlook link saves so much time looking for email messages sent or received;
I don't know how anyone can get along without it."

For me, the most valuable feature of AbacusLaw is its flexibility. Unlike most
other programs, AbacusLaw allows you, if you desire, to customize screens, timelines,
calendars & reports."
