TurboLaw 3.02 Released

TurboLaw version 3.02 has just been released, and although there are mostly just a few tweaks and behind-the-scenes improvements in this version, we still encourage everyone to install it.

This version of TurboLaw contains the following changes:

  • Prevents possible document corruption if you click on a document at exactly the right time before it is done filling out
  • Prevents accidental canceling of the update installation once it has begun (which can leave TurboLaw in an unusable state, since it is half-updated)
  • Tabs in Case Interview Wizards now appear as bold when the tab is active, to help distinguish which tab is active.

In addition, this version includes support for our newest area of law, Corporate Filings. If you have our Massachusetts General Practitioner’s Suite, you will need to install the update for this version before you can use this new area of law. (If you have any other TurboLaw package, then this does not apply to you.)

New Area of Law: Massachusetts Corporate Filings

TurboLaw Document Software now includes documents for Massachusetts Corporate Filings – available exclusively with our Massachusetts General Practitioner’s Suite.

This area of law includes 46 new documents for both for-profit and non-profit Massachusetts corporations.

If you already own this suite, then you will receive this new area of law automatically with your updates (as long as your updates & support subscription is current).

TurboLaw 3.01 Released

TurboLaw 3.01 has been released, just in time for the new year. This new version was meant to contain updates for some sweeping changes coming to Probate Law in Massachusetts, but these changes were delayed by the legislature at the last minute. However, this new version of TurboLaw also contains some other little cosmetic tweaks and behind-the-scenes improvements we made along the way, so rather than make you wait, we’re releasing it so you can get these improvements right now.

For those who handle Probate cases in Massachusetts, rest assured that TurboLaw is ready to handle these new changes. Shortly before the new rules and laws come into effect (currently expected to be around the end of March, 2012), we will release another update to TurboLaw.

In the meantime, please enjoy this new version of TurboLaw, and have a happy New Year!

TurboLaw 3 is Here!

It’s finally here! TurboLaw Version 3 was released just this morning. TurboLaw 3 is, without a doubt, the best version of TurboLaw we’ve ever produced – and we’re sure you’ll agree. From the new case wizards to the tabbed navigation to the case search capabilities and even the new icon, every aspect of TurboLaw has been tweaked, polished, and improved (often based on suggestions we receive from our users).

This new version of TurboLaw is like our early Christmas gift to you – and it’s a doozy. Here’s a list of the biggest and most noticeable changes in this version:

  • Case Searching: no more scrolling through long lists of cases – now you can search for your cases quickly and easily!
  • Folder Support in the Saved Documents window: save your documents in sub-folders you’ve created, or even just browse through all your case files easily, right from within TurboLaw.
  • Choose Existing Parties: never enter the same party twice!
  • Choose Existing Attorneys: never enter the same opposing counsel twice!
  • Improved navigation: tabs are all the rage these days, and TurboLaw has finally made the switch – no more getting lost with “windows within windows.”
  • Easier help: fast access via the “Help” menu to our life-saving remote support tools

And if that’s not enough for you, we’ve also totally redesigned the way you enter and edit cases (the Case Interview Wizards), with more improvements than you can shake a stick at:

  • Resize or maximize the case wizards
  • Visually consistent look and feel
  • Incremental save, so you never lose an entire case’s worth of work in the event of a computer crash or power outage
  • Enter parties the same way across different types of cases
  • Easier date entry
  • Enter addresses the same way across different types of cases
  • Easily enter foreign (non-US) addresses
  • Indicate that a party is “pro-se” with just a click
  • Better custom case folder management
  • Improved tips and help

We’ve worked long and hard to make this version of TurboLaw a reality, and we’re very happy to finally bring it to you. We hope you enjoy it, and we thank you for being a TurboLaw customer! Happy Holidays!

New Version – New Icon

With the upcoming release of TurboLaw Version 3, we’d like to show everyone the newly designed icon for TurboLaw Document Software. (Partly because we’re quite proud of it, and also partly so you know what the desktop icon for TurboLaw will change to when the update is released!)

To the right is the old TurboLaw icon, which has been used for TurboLaw Document Software since its original release, all the way back in 2002.

This icon was designed by our in-house art staff, and reflects the style of icons back at the time.

When TurboLaw Version 3 is released later this month, you’ll be able to say goodbye to the old icon, as with the update comes the new icon, seen on the left.

If you have TurboLaw on your computer, when the update is released later this month, you’ll see this new icon replace the old one on your computer.

This new version of TurboLaw is, without a doubt, the biggest and most significant change we’ve made since the program was first launched all those years ago. Although the icon is just a small part of the whole, we really did want this new version to be something special for all of you who use TurboLaw, so we left no stone unturned in making the program as wonderful and polished as we possibly could.

We’re sure you’ll love it!

Stay tuned to our blog, Facebook and Twitter – TurboLaw 3 is coming very soon!

For those who are curious, we had this icon designed for us by using the wonderful site 99Designs. If you ever need a logo, stationary, business card or brochure designed quickly and easily, we highly recommend checking this site out. It is really easy to use and the results are always fantastic!

TurboLaw 3 Sneak Peek – Searching Cases

One of the many new and exciting features in TurboLaw Version 3 (due out this winter) is the ability to search your cases! Although you were always able to sort and filter your cases, this new search capability gives you even more power to drill right down to the case you want in just a few keystrokes.

TurboLaw 3 Sneak Peek – New Case Wizards

One of the biggest changes in TurboLaw Version 3 (due out this winter) is the total overhaul of the way you enter and edit cases – what we call the Case Interview Wizards. We’ve totally redesigned these wizards, simplifying and streamlining the entire process, as well as adding some new capabilities that you’re sure to love.

Watch the video below to learn more and see some of the new capabilities in action!

p.s. Those of you that follow us on Twitter might realize that the redesign of the “wizards” is the end result of our super-secret project, code-named “Project Merlin.” (It’s OK – we won’t feel bad if you don’t laugh at our little pun/joke.)

TurboLaw 3 Sneak Peek – New Navigation

One of the more noticeable changes in TurboLaw Version 3 (due out this winter) is the change from the old “TurboLaw Navigator” and the floating windows-in-windows to the new “tabs on top” layout. Now, moving around in TurboLaw is as easy as clicking a tab at the top of the window (much like how the web browser you’re reading this article in probably has tabs for each new page you open).

Watch the video below to see more about how “tabs on top” make it even easier to move around in TurboLaw!

Coming Soon: TurboLaw Version 3

That’s right – TurboLaw Document Software is finally making the leap to Version 3!

There are a ton of new, exciting, and amazing features in this version of TurboLaw, due out this winter. We’ve put a lot of time and effort into making this the absolute best version of TurboLaw you’ve ever seen, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to see this new version.

We’ll be posting more about TurboLaw Version 3 – including some “sneak peek” videos – in the upcoming days and weeks here on our blog, so be sure to check back frequently to learn more!
