Many small law firms and solo practitioners are plagued by piecemeal software applications combined with lack of sufficient internal controls resulting in a state of functional disorganization. Listed below are commonly found inefficiencies along with the L.A.W.S./Pro solution.

Inefficient Time Entry: Attorneys sell time. Small firms, and solo practitioners in particular, lose significant revenue and incur increased overhead due to inefficient entry and storage procedures related to recorded transactions. For example, in the following common scenario, a single billable transaction is processed five or more times by up to three different individuals. <<more>> Lost Time: Inefficient Time Entry, referenced above, relates to inefficiencies pertaining to the processing and storage of "Recorded" time. Conversely, Lost Time, relates to the non-recording of billable services altogether. <<more>> Awkward Billings: Due to the awkwardness of billing procedures, many attorneys don't like, and therefore delay, invoicing clients for services rendered. L.A.W.S./Pro has streamlined the billing process concentrating on converting work in process to collected revenue as efficiently as possible. <<more>> Piecemeal software applications: Use of non-integrated piecemeal software solutions drastically decreases productivity. For example, one system is used for calendaring, another for time and billing, a third for accounting, and manually prepared spreadsheets to tie it all together. A massive amount of administrative overhead is required to synchronize these systems. <<more>> Maintenance of application software and data management: Within small firms, the attorney is often required to install application software and upgrades along with the responsibility for safeguarding data through regular backups. These responsibilities detract from billable time and can be efficiently delegated to the L.A.W.S./Pro service provider. <<more>>
