You're being robbed and you don't even know it!

Dear Colleague:

There's a thief in your office. It's stealing your time and your billings one minute at a time. Think about it . . . a minute or two to change an event on your calendar, five minutes to find a file that has been misplaced, another minute or two to look up a phone number. It all adds up! How many times a day does this happen to you? That insidious thief is taking your valuable time and costing you thousands of dollars.

If you eliminate just 6 minutes an hour of administrative tasks, 8 hours a day, you'll increase your billable hours by 10%. Bill an additional 48 minutes a day, and your annual billings will increase by 200 hours a year. At $150 per hour, you'll bill an additional $30,000 a year without working any harder!

AbacusLaw will increase your billable time by at least 10% guaranteed! This is not a pie-in-the-sky estimate; we're talking about saving just 6 minutes an hour.

You've spent thousands of dollars on hardware, software, and training to make your practice run more smoothly. Shouldn't you add the last missing piece?

You've already got the equipment. You're using your word processor, billing software, even imaging programs. All you need is our practice management software to tie it all together.

AbacusLaw puts all of your client and matter information at your fingertips. It easily handles more than one case per client and more than one person per case without duplicate entry.

Because AbacusLaw is a relational database program, you enter name, matter and calendar information only once. Then you simply link new information to the appropriate existing records. There is no limit to the number of names, matters, events or timekeepers.

When clients call, you'll have all your critical case information at your fingertips in AbacusLaw. No more searching for files that mysteriously disappear just when you need them. You eliminate telephone tag, you're always prepared and when you're done, note the call and click the "Bill" button to create a slip in Timeslips.

Say you need to call an expert or opposing counsel. His number is in the file (remember, the one you can't find) and you recall writing it on a slip of paper that's buried somewhere on your desk. Two to three minutes later you find it and get back to work. With AbacusLaw, the number is just a click away. Look up a name, and use the dialer in AbacusLaw to dial the phone for you. Again, just a click of the "Bill" button and you've turned wasted time into billable time.

Calendaring/Docketing

AbacusLaw handles everything from to-do items to litigation docketing. Things to-do never slip through the cracks, they keep appearing on your calendar until you mark them completed.

Input your local court holidays and AbacusLaw will automatically adjust court deadlines for holidays and weekends. You can print a Master Calendar, individual calendars, group calendars, even client and court calendars easily.

From AbacusLaw you can check everyone's calendar. Rescheduling appointments or appearances takes only a second. No more running around the office erasing and coordinating calendars. That's more billable time. More Calendar Info >>

Court Rules/Time Rules

AbacusLaw makes calculating and scheduling court deadlines effortless. Using timelines, you can automatically schedule court deadlines, reminders and office procedures. There's no limit to the number of timelines you can create. Set up timelines for different practice areas or multiple venues and make calendaring foolproof and easy.

Reschedule an event and all the "linked" events will be rescheduled for you. No more hunting for related events and manual recalculations. You'll reduce your administrative overhead and have peace of mind knowing all your important dates are calculated correctly. More Court Rules Info >>

Document assembly and management

The power of integration becomes obvious with document assembly in AbacusLaw. Schedule a document to be completed and AbacusLaw will automatically fill in the blanks for any Word, WordPerfect or PDF document.

Only AbacusLaw lets you include documents to be generated within timelines. So every time you calendar an event with a timeline, all the related events and documents are also calendared. Then, you can simply click on "Today's documents" to create the documents scheduled for every matter.

AbacusLaw's exclusive Documents database lets you keep all your important documents linked to your matter. Any document can be linked regardless of where it was created. Word processing files, scanned images, even entire folders can be linked, simply by dragging from Windows Explorer to AbacusLaw.

Imagine the time you'll save with all your important documents at your fingertips. You'll finally get to do the work you planned to do. More Document Control Info >>

One new AbacusLaw user writes:

"I am enormously pleased with AbacusLaw. I used to use (other brand). It is overpriced, underpowered and comes with a manual written by technoids who flunked English.

Abacus is different-and much better. First, the program is so simple to use, no time consuming training is needed. Second, the manual rates an A+ for thoroughness and clarity. Because I'm setting up a rules base with over ten thousand events, I've used the toll-free support phone and found the help to be outstanding and friendly. Your program is terrific."
