Great for a paperless office
I actually am running a paperless law office with this program. I created a notebook of Active Files and one of Closed Files. In active files, I use the pull down elephant head icon to name it Last name first, first name last….
After that I type in the essentials, address, contact phone numbers, emails, what the case is about, Court file number, and so forth.
Saving that file, i then when i open that file up can Scan documents using the camera WITHIN Evernote, or use Fujitsi Scan Snap to scan many documents and then drag those pdf files into the file in Evernote. I can talk to my clients and record the conversation. So if I’m in court and it’s essential to get a client’s understanding, I can pull out my phone, open up their Evernote File and record a brief conversation wherein they acknowledge what I’ve said, and for example if it’s child support court, that they have to pay x number of dollars by x date, or litterally go to jail.
After a file is closed, I move the file to the Closed files.
This way wherever I am if a client calls me (my office number is my cell phone) I can open up their file and well, “there it is”.
A lifesaver. There are other programs for lawyers but all are expensive, Non is as cheap as this program.
