Simplify Your
Law Firm with with
Easy-to-Use Legal Practice Management Software

From tracking billable hours to invoicing and accounting, many law firms still use tedious manual processes to manage daily administrative tasks or rely on a patchwork of separate software to handle the different parts of their legal workflows.

Lawyers need to find more time in the day (without inventing a time machine!)

The problem? Both approaches are inefficient, time-consuming, and a hassle for many attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and staff. Having a single, fully integrated practice management tool allows you to manage every facet of your law firm’s operations quickly & easily from within a single dashboard.

It also ensures that all your data is stored in the same place, so you can avoid errors from redundant double data entry -- and ensure that every member of your team stays on the same page.

When properly implemented, the right practice management system can help your firm:

• Make time & expense tracking easier – and more accurate
• Prepare & send invoices in less time
• Stay on top of high-priority& important deadlines with firm-wide & matter-specific calendars
• Keep your contacts & documents organized & accessible from anywhere (while still keeping your firm’s data secure)
• Manage legal matters & cases with customizable workflow tools
• Process credit card payments online without the risk of trust account compliance violations
• Keep client trust accounts replenished & reconcile accounts while ensuring Bar compliance
• Make more informed business decisions with in-depth reports & analytics dashboards
• & more

Best of all, it will allow you to do this all from within a single tool—and integrate with the other software tools you use every day.

There are dozens of generic, “industry-agnostic” practice management tools on the market. But these programs aren’t designed for legal industry workflows & regulations. In fact, Rocket Matter was first created back in 2006 to address the lack of software vendors serving the specific needs of a law practice.

Make legal-specific, law practice management software a priority for your law firm

If your firm is using a generic practice management software, you’ll end up spending far too much time & too many resources trying to customize generic workflows & processes to match the specific needs of your legal practice. A legal-specific practice management solution, like Rocket Matter, is be built from-the-ground-up to meet the unique demands of legal work.

With Rocket Matter you get access to a host of important legal-industry specific features, including:

• Fast & thorough conflict-of-interest checks
• “Court rules” calendaring functions to help you avoid missing key deadlines
• “Statute of Limitations” calculators
• Legal trust accounting tools
• LEDES billing features to help you avoid invoice rejection

Making compliance a priority for your law firm

Most importantly, the right legal software will feature key compliance protections to help your legal practice remain compliant with ABA and state bar rules.

For example, a legal practice management software should allow you to process online credit card payments -- while preventing the commingling of funds when withdrawing or depositing funds into a client’s trust account. It should also help your firm stay compliant when managing trust accounts & reconciling bank statements. Rocket Matter does all this & more.

When looking for the best law practice management system, law firms have two basic options: they can opt for an on-premises software, which is stored locally on your office hardware, or a Cloud-based system, which store’s your firm’s data in the Cloud so that it accessible to you from any location.

On-premises software

Traditionally, many law firms have favored on-site practice management software because it’s been seen as more secure & less vulnerable to attacks by hackers. However, an on-site software will only be accessible from the office and puts your firm at risk of data loss if you experience a hardware failure, power outage, or the software closes/crashes unexpectedly.

Cloud-based software

By contrast, a Cloud-based software solution will automatically back up your law practice data in the Cloud and can be accessed from any device, including mobile phones, allowing your attorneys & staff to coordinate on matters from remotely. You’ll also be able to track time & expenses while traveling or working from home, facilitating more accurate timekeeping & billing.

And while on-premises software may have been more secure in the past, today’s Cloud-based practice management systems come with high levels of data security (like those used by online banking) to help keep your firm’s confidential client & case information safe.

Rocket Matter’s law practice management software is designed to do just that—help you manage your practice more effectively.

We offer a whole suite of legal case management tools to help you organize matters, stay on top of deadlines, and free up more time for providing better client service. Firms using Rocket Matter enjoy access to powerful matter management features, including:

• Firm-wide & case-specific calendars to help you keep track of important deadlines & appointments
• Customizable matter templates to suit your firm’s unique workflows
• Matter dashboards & milestones to help you track the progress of a matter
• Customizable fields & matter tags for tighter matter management & client intake.
• Organized contact entries that let you view a client’s matter details at-a-glance
• Matter budgeting tools to help your firm stay profitable & facilitate fixed fee arrangements
• Kanban boards make case management easy by showing you the status of all your ongoing legal matters
• Comprehensive conflict-of-interest searches

All these features help your team work more efficiently, so you can spend less time on case management and more time serving your clients.

An attorney’s hours are their most precious resource—and the right legal practice management software can help optimize every minute of them (and make sure they’re actually billed).

If your lawyers are still recording their hours by hand at the end of the day, they’re almost certainly losing track of some of their billable time (and wasting valuable minutes piecing together & logging time entries).

Bill-As-You-Work to the rescue

With Rocket Matter’s Bill-As-You-Work™ Technology in place, your timekeepers can effortlessly track their hours (and their expenses) from anywhere in the software as they do their work. You can even set multiple timers at once, so you can move seamlessly between different tasks without missing a beat—or track time directly from Microsoft Outlook while using your email.

Batch billing, paperless prebilling, automated invoices, and all kinds of other goodies

And when it comes time to bill for those hours, Rocket Matter makes it a breeze to prepare and send your invoices. Using our powerful batch billing features, law firms can prepare all their monthly invoices at once and make adjustments from our paperless prebill screen. You can also schedule automated invoices for recurring payments, to be sent out at a set time every month.
