We chose Microsoft Word as our word processing software because we do so much writing that's shared with our clients. Pleadings, proposals, content outlines, video and multimedia scripts, trial schedules... all are generated on a program used by the majority of our clients so we can trade files conveniently via email or disk.

The key to successful Law Office project management is organization. That's why we chose EccoPro as our contact management software. With this one package, we can keep track of our clients, our conversations, project files, important tasks and time. It's a powerful organizational tool.

Organized financial records are the benchmark of a well-managed law office. Quickbooks Pro allows us to track expenses, pay vendors, pull together estimates, and generate invoices. We know at a glance how our company is performing. This kind of control contributes to the stability of our company and the outstanding relationships we've built with our long-term vendors.

Our goal is to organize day-to-day tasks so we can concentrate on the client needs. The Palm Pilot has been a valuable tool in achieving that goal. With it, we can keep our client database, datebook, to-do list and important memos on a small unit that fits in a pocket. And because it interfaces with EccoPRO, our contact management software, we know our portable system contains the same information as our main program.
