Benefits Of Legal Case Management Software

Legal case management software has been around for some time now. Indeed, at DPS software we have been providing assistance to legal practices for over 30 years so it is not as though the idea is some sort of amazing new technology that has only just arrived on the market, even though we strive to add new features all the time. What is surprising is just how many law firms are still using 20th century methods involving the use of lots of paper which require a large amount of physical storage.

It is probably fair to say that even today legal firms cannot manage without a certain amount of paper. For instance, if an original document needs to be shown in court it has to be the original document, not an online copy.

Yet it has to be done, and the sooner it is done, the faster the turn-around time of cash coming through the door. Legalbilling software for small firms can make all the difference.
