Stay Cool with your Best Clients this Summer & Offer Them a Credit Card Option

Last February, we rolled out a crown jewel in our legal office billing software : the Payment Acceptance Plan , or merchant accounts for law firms . These are payment processing services designed specifically for lawyers like you-and developed to work in conjunction with both our law firm billing software and trust accounting software.

Our goal? To expedite your accounts receivables—and provide an easy-to-use merchant processing service that works effortlessly with your law practice.

Payment Acceptance Plan can help you set up secure payments to your operating account. It can also integrate payments to your escrow and trust accounts.

Everything is designed to work as a single, streamlined piece—and to comply with a lawyer’s stringent rules of professional conduct for every state in which we do business .

Beyond these special features, Payment Acceptance Plan is as process-efficient as the best credit card payment solutions. It offers:

•  Flawless Processing.

•  “Real Time” Reporting. Use your desktop or laptop to accept credit or debit card payments, and reap the benefits of “real-time” electronic reporting for optimal accounting reconciliation.

•  Low Fees . To prove it to you, we’ll give you a free audit. All you need to do is fax your contact information and your latest credit card processing statement to 877-439-7638 (include a fax cover sheet). We’ll do a quick analysis, and get back to you with estimated savings-and then you can decide for yourself.

What’s more, you provide a service to your clients that allows them to pay your bills-and remain a client- without dipping into their investments or savings.

Put law-specific payment technology to work for your law firm today. We look forward to helping you boost your cash flow, cut down on outstanding receivables, e liminate efforts to collect on bills-and compromise a good relationship with clients who might be a little late paying their bills.

Divorce Settlements on the Road

Picture this. Your client’s sitting in the deposition room, handling one question after the next: beautifully (just as you trained him or her). You see a gesture, leading to a private conference. Suddenly, you are being asked to step outside to receive a settlement offer.

How do you advise your client? Do you know how the figure plays out in real life? Wouldn’t it be great if you could punch the number into a calculator, get an instant report about its impact on your client’s lifestyle, budget, income taxes, kids, and other critical factors, and advise your client in an informed way?

Now picture this. Your client’s getting grilled, and not handling it particularly well. The facts are simply not in his or her favor. You’ve seen enough. You’d like to put an end to this. You pause the proceedings, and pull your client aside for a talk. He or she wants to settle, but the question is, how do you know what to offer?

If you’re a busy divorce lawyer, you might be facing a situation like this every single day. Fear not: we have a solution. Family Law mobile apps – on your BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, or iPad device.

Easy Soft makes Divorce Financials—and all of our other family law software— available to you outside of the office, and in the deposition room, the courtroom, even the supermarket checkout line (what else are you going to do?). If you have come to rely on our divorce law calculators, then we’d like to make them available to you—at no extra charge*.

Picture this. You have Easy Soft Divorce Financials, or our mobile apps family law software. You punch in a figure, and see that it will make your client’s income taxes steeper than an alternate scenario. This is too easy: you proffer the alternate. It’s accepted, and you’ve done well by your client.

What could be easier?

iPhone. Install Now, or just search for “easysoft” in your Apple App Store.

iPAD. Install Now, or just search for “easysoft” in your Apple App Store.
