Going Paperless (Out of the Office)
If you’ve successfully gone paperless in the office and you want to take the next step, then you’re looking at going paperless outside of the office as well. What do I mean by this? For example, in my practice, divorce litigation, I need to meet with clients. During those initial client meetings, I would fill…

Ditch Pitney Bowes – Best Stamp Solution for a Small Law Office
Ditch that bulky and expensive Pitney Bowes machine. Not only do they charge you for the machine and stamps, they also charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of using their service.

Law Office Burglarized (Lesson in Back-Up)
A close lawyer friend of mine was recently the victim of a burglary. Her law office was broken into over a weekend and the thieves stole all her computer equipment and other valuables. Even though she kept paper files, all her computerized files were gone along with her computer. I asked her after she told me about…
