What sets your firm apart from other firms? Do you practice in the same area as your colleagues? Do you have the same number of attorneys that your colleagues have? TIP #4 to Software Selection: Don't assume your colleagues' software is right for your law firm. Not all law firms are the same, there are similarities, but they are different. Even firms practicing the same type of law are different. Getting feedback about programs may be nice, but realize they have only had experience with what they use. DLC Consulting Services has worked with many firms of various sizes nationwide. We have seen what works for solo and small firms. #dlccs #lawfirmmanagement #legalsoftware #softwareselection #dontassume #rightsoftwareforyourfirm #softwarecomplexity Watch this short video for some basic guidelines. https://buff.ly/3VmVkal

Choosing legal software is not for the faint of heart. It takes time and focus to have a chance at getting it right. Tip #2 Don't make assumptions about what you think it does. When you are in a software demo, you control the demo. Ask the sales rep to SHOW you how things are done. You can ask for multiple demos; you don’t have to settle for their canned demos. Get the answers you need to make an informed decision.

"Diane and her team were wonderful. They took the time to help me figure out what I needed and implement the systems and items needed for a smooth transition. I look forward to continuing to work with them as my firm grows." Vidhya B.

Are you aware of all of the features your software offers? Have you retained all the information from your initial training? Tip #3 Train now and again in six months. Whatever you do all the time will become familiar to you. In about six months, you will be completely familiar with the functions necessary for your job. You’ll probably start thinking, I wish the software did this or that. Maybe you can even search the help site.

❓ What issues do you think affect law firms most? It's clear there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but some common themes we are consistently finding, ✔️ not understanding and following the rules for IOLTA accounts, ✔️ not spending the time/money to customize software, and ✔️ decision paralysis.
