Reports in LAWS/Pro
LAWS/Pro often replaces many separate software products including
Calendaring, Time & Billing, Accounting, Spreadsheet based systems,
Timesheets, etc. Substantial cost savings are realized through
our single product aproach. Information is linked throughout the entire LAWS/Pro system.
This means that if you have a question in G/L you can follow the trail all the way back to
the original calendar entry that it may have been based on.
LAWS/Pro works for you to eliminate double entry, exports and imports of data between applications
and to make it so easy that everyone can use it. This also contributes to
cost savings and increased efficiency throughout you firm.
It really works!
Seems strange to say but LAWS/Pro really does work.
As we've talked with legal professionals over the years
we have come to see that many competing products are bug ridden
and incomplete. A good percentage of our prospect customers
have said they are happy with what they have, yet, a few minutes into
a demonstration of LAWS/Pro and they begin to express their
dissatisfaction with their current product. Generally they tell
of inability to print specific reports or of skipping functions or double entering
data because it is so difficult to use.
LAWS/Pro is easy to use yet full of features you won't find in
other programs. We don't claim to have everything, in fact those that do
make that claim
don't understand the legal profession. But we do have the features
and functions needed to effectively run a law practice. And we take great care to
make sure everything works and works correctly.
But let's be honest here, occasionally we do find circumstances where a function fails.
These failures are most often caused by a special circumstance of data that
we never forsaw or specifically tested with. When these occur we are able to quickly (often within an hour)
make corrections and resolve the issue. We own 100% of our program code which
allows us to quickly make changes without working with or waiting for
third parties.
So when we say LAWS/Pro works, we really mean it.

software applications and awkward operating procedures are completely
eliminated.

We Listen
When customers are asked what their biggest surprise was with
implementing LAWS/Pro we hear that 1) Implementation was smooth and easy, and
2) The support was and continues to be unbelievable. DTBusiness has a long 30 year history
of continually beating customer expectations. We take time to listen to our customers
and to understand how they work. New customer training is often attended by our developers so
they can understand first hand how you work. We note your suggestions and
we watch how you work so we can continuously improve our product.
When new features, functions or customer requests are received we try and act on them
quickly. We have many cases where we recognized a specific customer need
or received a customer suggestion and were able to implement and deploy it within hours.
These enhancements are immediatly available not only to that specific customer, but
to all our LAWS/Pro clients.
Our development organization works tightly with all other areas of the company including sales,
support and training. Customers have the ability to communicate directly with development.
This relationship is what has made our product the best available today.
Straight Forward cost effective pricing
We believe in being up-front and completely honest with our customers.
Our pricing publication is one example of that. We clearly publish
our pricing for you to see right away. You don't need to
call us just to find out what our product costs. We even include a handy calculator
to show you exact pricing with all available discounts.
In addition we also can show you the "other" cost most vendors
don't want to discuss. Those costs include conversion and training.
We don't require any long term contracts. We do however offer
substantial discounts for pre-paying 6 or 12 months. In fact, we even offer
FREE! data conversion and training when you pre-pay for a year.
Our pricing makes LAWS/Pro very competetive. If you also consider the cost savings you'll immediately
receive in reduced installation and maintenance hours, reduced hardware costs and general productivity,
our pricing is phenominal.
No installation or special software required
In 1999 DTBusiness launched a major company initiative to upgrade our legacy L.A.W.S. product and to make it a 100% web-based product.
That initiative resulted in the launch of our LAWS/Pro produce in 2000. Some people thought we were crazy to do it but
we felt it was strategic for our future. Now, years later when other are scrambling to come up with ways to
deliver their services on the Internet, DTBusiness continues to look forward and try to understand our customers future needs.
Using a web-based application makes life much easier. The only software you need is an Internet browser.
The posting and review of time, calendar modifications, and billing
is immediate and may be completed from vitually anywhere.
Here's a few more reasons why a web-based application just make sense:
 Reduces cost and time required for computer consultants installing new software, database maintenance, etc.
Reduces down-time resulting from server failures and data corruption.
Ensures backups are done and that they are useable, with no cost for media or employee time.
Reduce in-house computer costs by eliminating application and database servers. Workstations do not need extra memory or hard drive space.
Your critical information is stored off-site at multiple secure facilities.
By adopting emerging technologies, LAWS/Pro is able to deliver a state of the art product that continues
to save our clients money while delivering superior results.
Now you can access your calendar, record billable events and
look up client information all from your cell phone!
L.A.W.S./Pro comes with a complete interface designed just
for those small screen devices so you're never far away
from the information you need. So go ahead, schedule an appointment,
post an expense, lookup a client address.
All access is also real-time so if your
administrative assistant changes your schedule, you see it now.
Other applications require re-synchronizing at the office,
with L.A.W.S./Pro you're always current.
Accessible Anytime from Anywhere
Need to do a little work from home tonight? No problem. Need to access
information from a client's office? That's easy too.
Because LAWs/Pro is an Internet-based solution,
it can easily be accessed from anywhere.
All you need is a web browser and an Internet connection.
Internet or "Cloud Based" services are an effective way to manage your business.
Here is a link to some articles that explains these services in more detail:
Cloud Practice Management
Cloud Computing Services
The LAWS/Pro Document Repository Web Folders feature also makes
access to your documents quickly and easily. You can drag and drop directly to a
LAWS/Pro repository folder on your Windows, Mac or even from a mobile phone.
LAWS/Pro makes the full "Virtual Office" a reality today.
It's so convenient you could even access it from the beach!

trust accounting, allocation of funds, client costs,
