Features

Right from the start, TurboLaw Time and Billing makes it easy. The “Getting Started Screen” leads the way. Just enter your firm and client information to get started.

Even after you get started, we keep things simple from the home screen. Need to add more clients? Click “Add/Edit Clients.” Need to add or edit a staff member? Click “Add/Edit Staff.”

Our easy to understand screens are straightforward and written in plain English, not techno-babble.

We have over a decade of experience designing software for you. We understand that days are full of clients, court, phone calls, paperwork that needed to be mailed yesterday and getting your kids to soccer practice at 5:30. You may love what you do but we all need to ensure you’re not losing billable time because you deserve to get paid!

We also understand that many of you just can’t charge your clients for everything right now. With TurboLaw Time and Billing you can always make special accommodations for clients if you need to. By tracking your time even if you are not going to bill for it, you will be able to show your generosity to that client. Perhaps that will be a kind reminder so they continue to appreciate you and your efforts on their behalf.

Get a phone call, start the stopwatch. When you hang up just click to automatically enter the time into your client record. If you’re tracking time with one stopwatch and need to switch to help another client, just start another stopwatch. It will pause the first and you can go back to it when you’re done!

Just enter your retainer as a payment and choose one of the Bill or Statement Templates specifically designed to bring the retainer to the attention of your client.

When entering your staff, just set their billing rates accordingly and then when entering time, you will always apply the correct amount because the time entry screen asks “Who performed this work”.

You can also go one step further and set custom billing rates on a per-staff and per-client basis, as needed.

You can set your finance charge to whatever you like and choose to apply it or not to your bills and statements.

After you have entered time and expenses for your client you can create their bill at any time. If you have forgotten anything just enter it before you create your bill. Perhaps you need to elaborate a bit more in the notes so there is no question on the charges. Your notes in the billing window will appear on their bill. We make it as easy as possible so your bills go out faster and you get paid sooner!

Print statements for all your clients in just one click or choose a particular date range. Perhaps you want to print statements for just those clients who have open balances? Whatever you choose, review those statements on your screen with just one click.

And if you need help understanding the difference between a bill and statement? Read all about the difference between a bill and a statement.

TurboLaw Time and Billing organizes your clients so you can see at a glance who has not been billed and how much each client owes.

Click a client, enter a payment or expense or do it from the home screen by clicking “Enter Time/Expense”. It really is that simple.

Do everything from adding your firm information with logo to altering the actual placement of entries on the bills and statements and beyond. Our bills and statements are fully customizable to your liking and we give you dozens of great templates to get you started.

Set your bill rate automatically for hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, tenth-hour or custom interval. You can also bill for exact time or a flat fee item.

At a glance see the “birds eye view” of what’s going on with your firm. Who are the top 5 clients that owe you the most? Who are your best clients this quarter? Which staff member has the most unbilled time? What patterns do you see that could help your practice?

Graphs can also be saved into a number of image formats, including BMP, JPG, and PNG.

Unlike many other lower cost billing programs, your client information is not online but securely on your computer.

Whether your firm’s fax number changed, you had a staff member get married and change their name, a client moved or you need to increase your billing rates, you can change it all.

Bills and statements can be saved in Microsoft Excel format, or to CSV format, which can be opened by virtually any spreadsheet software. Text, MHT, and image formats such as BMP, JPG, and PNG are supported as well.

Additionally, bills and statements can also be saved to RTF (rich text format), which can be opened by virtually any word processing software (such as Microsoft Word, Lotus WordPerfect, Ami Pro, StarOffice, Microsoft Works, OpenOffice, or even the default WordPad program included with Microsoft Windows).

Have a client in for a Family Law matter who also needs assistance with a real estate transaction? Create a separate “Matter” for that client and keep the billing separate and organized.

If you have TurboLaw Time and Billing on multiple computers, as long as those computers are already connected, you can also network TurboLaw Time and Billing. After networking everyone sees the same clients and can track their time throughout the day.

TurboLaw Time and Billing lets you import client information directly from either TurboLaw Document Software or Microsoft Outlook.

TurboLaw Time and Billing lets you keep unlimited notes, as well as other valuable information such as their mailing address, different phone numbers, and email address. You can even print out a hard copy of a client’s information.

TurboLaw Time and Billing will automatically check for updates when you open the program so you always have the software with our most recent improvements and added features.

Reduce the visual clutter and possible confusion by making clients who are not working with you at the moment “inactive”. You can view them again at any time, but you can just have your “Active” clients appear on your screen.

Even if you close the main screen, TurboLaw Time and Billing is always just one click away so you can enter your time throughout the day.

Unlike other companies, we take feedback from our customers very seriously and implement many of the ideas and suggestions you make. Email any suggestions to suggestions@turbolaw.com.
