Bill4Time Mobile
Hot Products 2008, by
Tom McNichol.
Software developers have come up with several handy iPhone applications customized for the practice of law. Among the best is Bill4Time Mobile (www.bill4time.com), which lets you enter and track billable time and expenses while on the go. With Bill4Time Mobile, you don't have to sync your iPhone to the office computer--all data is wirelessly uploaded to Bill4Time's servers. You access all the features and reports of the Bill4Time application from any Internet-connected computer--Windows or Mac--needing no special software or setup. The mobile app offers flexible options for billing, such as letting you define a specific hourly rate or a combo platter of hourly, flat-fee, and contingency billing rates. A reports library visible on your PC lets you see your firm's total billable time so you can quickly determine who is and isn't billing his or her share of hours. For one to six users, Bill4Time costs $39.99 per user, per month; additional users cost $19.99 each per month.

Time Matters Enterprise
Reasons to Consider Time Matters Enterprise, by
Jeffrey S. Krause.
In my opinion, in the long run, Time Matter Enterprise will save you money even if you have to have to purchase a new server in order to run it. First, any database downtime you are currently experiencing will be dramatically if not altogether eliminated. Second, if you are currently operating separate case management, document management and e-mail systems, you will see significant cost savings when you consolidate all of them into Time Matters.

Bluebeam PDF Revu
Review: Bluebeam PDF Revu, by
Caren Schwartz.
Bluebeam PDF Revu, by Bluebeam Software, is a tool to create, view, markup, and edit PDF files. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give Bluebeam PDF Revu a 4.5. I would highly recommend Bluebeam PDF Revu, especially if you use CAD programs or if you don’t need the link to a program like Time Matters. I’m delighted to have it installed on one of my computers and find that, for a number of PDF functions, I switch to that computer rather than use Adobe Acrobat.

Easy Trust
Easy Trust 2.1.0, by
Mary Girsch-Bock.
Extremely user-friendly and requires little, if any, training. Keeps track of all bank activity for all matters, and includes easy account reconciliation functionality. Although Easy Trust works well with other EasySoft products, it doesn't have the structure to support third-party data. This is an excellent stand-alone product that easily is installed, requires little setup time and tracks all firm-administered trust accounts easily.

RTG Bills
RTG Bills Version 2.16, by
Mary Girsch-Bock.
RTG Bills includes a timer application called RTG Timer, which comes with one free license and user key. Each registered user of Timer is a timekeeper, and while Timer can be installed on more than one workstation under the same timekeeper. Easy setup and program navigation. Good capability to customize bills. While data can be read between the Bills and Timer applications, there isn’t true automatic data integration between the two. I recommend it. For just $95, RTG Bills is a worthy investment for solos or small firms that don’t need all the bells and whistles found in more expensive products.

Escrow Organizer
Escrow Organizer, by
Mary Girsch-Bock.
Escrow Organizer is an escrow management software program that is ideal for attorneys who need to monitor and disburse funds for clients and handle related accounting. It’s simple to use, quick to set up and can organize client escrow fund activity quickly with minimal data entry. I found it had limited integration capability. For law firms that handle escrow funds for clients, Escrow Organizer can get you up and running in hours. Ideal for both small- to mid-sized firms.

Timeslips 2005, by

Better integration for capturing time spent handling e-mails. Small, incremental advance over previous version. If your version no longer is supported, it’s time to upgrade.

Time Matters
Time Matters 9.0 Legal Series, by
Kim Plonsky.
Introduces several powerful and substantive features as well as enhancements to favorite features like Power-Views and Triggers. Reasonable, non-subscription-based pricing. Wealth of help resources, including online Knowledge Base, free online training videos and Webinars. My only mild complaint concerns a minor glitch that causes all toolbars to display when any toolbar is customized requiring adjustments each time. I recommend Time Matters 9.0, both as an essential upgrade for current Time Matters users and to those seeking to implement an organized and efficient way to manage all of the elements of a busy legal professional’s workday.

Review: Time Matters 9.0, by
Thomas Daily.
If you have always wanted an off-the-shelf software package to consolidate everything in your legal practice from intake to completion and you have the time and a good consultant or IT person, Time Matters 9.0 is the software for you. If you don’t, it will be back to using your cobbled together methods of off-the-shelf software packages and Internet-based resources.
