Trust Account Software - keeps track of multiple client accounts in bank accounts. Esily print reports by one client at a time or for all clients.

It is recommended that all of these modules be integrated so they can work together and there is no need for double enty. For Example, you can enter the client info once and not have to enter it in the other modules.

Law firms are usually a service business and they keep track of time and then bill for this time. Law firm software is designed to make it easy for many "timekeepers" to keep track of their time for later billing the client. There is also the ability to send bills by email or electronic billing.
