This prevents document misplacement and/or loss, assures document privacy, and increases our efficiency in retrieving information we need, at the moment we need it.
Document Production
Whenever possible and permissible, we produce electronic documents rather than paper documents. Before distribution we secure the documents by encrypting them in Adobe PDF format and keep a copy on our server using Worldox.

We Implemented Amicus Attorney to manage all aspects of our practice including files, contracts, calendaring, time tracking, email, phone calls, tasks and research documents. Amicus Attorney eliminates duplicated effort and lost time and manages all our communications, whether phone calls or email, by maintaining a history of all communication and completed tasks within the client file.
