The Attorney Case File
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which
kinds of law is this system designed for?
A: All of them. If you have
clients, procedures, and billable hours this
system will work for you. We cover civil, criminal, and
general procedural cases in either adversarial
or non-adversarial
situations.
Q:
Is this system for "newbies" or experienced
legal personnel?
A:
Both. The
system can act as a massive checklist so
that the new person won't miss important
detail, and yet it provides an extremely
effective organizational tool for the
seasoned veteran who already knows exactly
what information to locate.
Q: Is “The
Attorney Case File” a database?
A: No, it’s better than that.
Though we live in a computerized world, ours
is an industry revolving around information,
notes, and documentation.
We designed “The Attorney Case File” to give you an
easy to use, fill-in-the-blank case
management system that will standardize and
organize all your written notes and help you
better utilize ANY database you may choose.
This is extremely important for the attorney
who needs to put all of the firm’s
personnel on one
standard format so that data gathering, file
reassignment, case review and data entry are
uniform, and organized.
Q: Can The
Attorney Case File
be used on-screen in softcopy format?
A:
Of course! The CD contains unlocked
wordprocessor files. You can print these
out, or you can fill them in on screen and
save as a new file. You can also
customize the files with your letterhead,
logos, etc. Furthermore, wordprocessor
files in and of themselves act as
mini-databases and are the contents are
searchable from most file management
programs.
Q. Can this be
used as a hard-copy
system?
A:
Absolutely. We wanted to give you this
option for a number of reasons: One, versatility.
You can toss a hardcopy file in a
briefcase and use it anywhere at any time
for any size case. Two, economy.
Unfortunately, very few offices can afford
to equip each staff member with laptops or
PDAs that connect to a networked
database flexible enough to be used in each
and every scenario. And three, simplicity. As our
“software” is primarily wordprocessor files,
there are no "system requirements,”, software conflicts, training,
or tech support necessary.
Q: Can I
customize any of these workbooks?
A:
Definitely. In fact we’ve
included the unlocked wordprocessor files on
CD for that reason. You can alter any
of the forms as you see fit, print out the
whole thing at once, or select certain forms
or sections to print. (Or again, you can
fill these in on-screen to use as a
softcopy system.)
Q: Is this a
system or just a collection of forms?
A: It’s a system that is made of
interrelated forms organized into focused
sections having specific functions. The
advantage is two-fold. You can use our
system as-is, or you can utilize
individual forms or sections with
any other system you may be using.
Q: Can
I determine how to best use this system?
A:
You bet. In fact, we intentionally
designed this system to be flexible enough
to be disassembled and used as you see fit.
The system is strong enough to be used as a
stand-alone case management system, it can
be the "data organizer" you use to
facilitate data entry into an existing
software-based program, or it can be used
piece by piece and incorporated into any
existing system you may already use in your
office.
Q: How many copies of
“The Attorney Case File” can I print out?
A: How much paper do you have? There is no limit. Once you
buy “The Attorney Case File” it’s yours*. There’s
nothing else to buy from us. There are no
upgrades or “refills.” You can print out as
many copies as your one office will ever
need. We do have one restriction that you
can only utilize The Attorney Case File for the
single address that ordered it. Copyright laws are the only other
restriction.
Q: Speaking of paper,
shouldn’t we conserve paper?
A:
Even though this can be used as a hardcopy system, it
helps you save paper. One detailed form
will hold as much information as several
sheets of legal pad.
Also, the amount of detail in
each form prevents you from losing data and
starting over.
Q: How many users are
included in the license?
A:
The only restriction is a per-address use.
You only need one copy of The Attorney Case
File for
one physical address. It doesn’t matter how
many users you have at that location.
However, other offices and other addresses
will need to purchase a copy of their own.
At our low price though, that’s easy to do.
Q: Is there anything
else of interest included on the CD?
A:
Oh yes! As
the internet is becoming more and more
indispensable to the law office we’ve
included a collection of over 3400 links to
legal industry websites. We’ve basically
done 6 months worth of “surfing” for you.
The links collection alone is worth the
price of our system. Also, for those who
haven’t invested in invoicing software we’ve
included a professional looking invoice file
written in Excel.
Q:
We teach case management at a school.
Would this be useful to us?
A:
Most definitely.
While several of the major players in the
high-end software industry have provided
samples to schools so students can learn to
operate their software, the emphasis should
still be placed on the gathering of
pertinent info and its immediate
organization. This ability lends
itself well to any office setting and it's
exactly what we can help you teach.
Contact us directly for bulk pricing and
student options.
Q: How
much is your system?
A:
Although it’s
a complete system, although there’s nothing
else to every buy from us, and although it
will last your firm forever, our complete
system is priced less than the national
average of an Attorney’s hourly rate. “The
Attorney Case File’s” full retail price is only
$249.95.
(With over 175 pages of material, this is
less than $2 per form.)
