It’s finally here – version 2.00 of TurboLaw Time and Billing! This new version has a lot of great new features and improvements that we’re sure a lot of our users will really like – because many of these new features and improvements were directly inspired by feedback we receive from our users!

Some of the biggest improvements in this version are:

  • Payments can now be applied directly to a bill instead of just to a client’s account
  • Payments can be “split” among several bills
  • Bills now have both an “amount” (the total of the bill) and a “balance” (how much is due on the bill)
  • New bill templates that can show how much of a bill has been paid, and how much remains due
  • You can now see all the matters for all of your clients in the main Time and Billing window
  • Matters now show both “unbilled” and “unpaid” sub-totals, specific to that matter
  • Bills are automatically closed once they have been paid in full
  • New statement templates that “group” items by matter for better organization

We’ve also made a host of other small improvements, such as changing the icons for bills so that you can see, based on the icon, whether a bill is open, closed, or voided.

We’ve also simplified the way a bill’s status is displayed – instead of saying “UNPAID/OPEN” and “PAID/CLOSED,” we just display either “Open” or “Closed.” Not only is this simpler, but by not being in ALL CAPS it’s a bit easier on the eyes as well.

Additionally, we’ve tweaked some of the default bill templates so that the client’s address will show through when the bill is folded and put in a standard window envelope.

As always, this update – even though it is a major new version – is available right now to all our current subscribers. TurboLaw Time and Billing will download this new update automatically, and when it is ready you’ll see the notification at the bottom of your screen.

This message lets you know a new update is available.

You can then either click to install the update, or wait, and the next time you open the program, the update will be installed automatically.

We’re very excited (and proud!) to bring you this new major version of TurboLaw Time and Billing, and we hope you enjoy it.
