The Situation

Kendra has provided legal solutions to families for two decades.

Before using TimeSolv, she was offered a product called Timeslips when she first went out. She started using that product, and according to her, the program had many features, but most of the features were outdated.

“Back in the day, that was not a bad program to use. It had a lot of features, and it was for the most part user friendly,” says Carpenter Family Law CEO Kendra Carpenter.

After using Timeslips for some time, she finally got to the point that “Timeslips is not Integrating further, and there were so many things that were archaic about it.”

She also realized that she was spending way too much time on billing. It wasn’t getting out and getting done quickly enough for her, affecting the revenue. “As a solo practitioner, we’re very mindful of our overhead.”

Kendra says that she lost a lot of time billing on the old system that she was using before TimeSolv. She also added that, “I have to just painfully go through and download things, and double-check them and make sure that the stamps get on and the envelopes get addressed and all of that.”

The Solution

When Carpenter Family Law moved to TimeSolv for their time and billing software, they immediately asked about capturing time they lost on billing time. Before TimeSolv, they were doing billing in an old-fashioned way. They had to download things, double-check them, make sure the stamps get on, the envelopes get addressed and all of that.

“TimeSolv helped me dramatically with capturing time that I lost in doing my billing on the old system I was using. Probably I’ve saved at least ten hours a month. It has been a time saver.” says Carpenter Family Law CEO Kendra Carpenter.

Kendra was struggling to track everything about the client on her desk in the old billing software. With TimeSolv, Kendra was able to enter or track time from anywhere, anytime, and on any device. “It’s so much easier now to be able to enter my time. It’s in a cloud system, so I don’t have to be at my desk. The app is fantastic. I carry it around on my phone, so I’m in the courthouse. I stop a case, I enter the time, I move on to the next case, and then I just hit upload and then boom, it’s done. So, I’m not missing all that time that I used to write down on notes and seriously hope to keep in my backpack or my trial bag and think about okay where did I put that, and I better put that in, you know, into my billing software, so I can make sure I’m capturing all that time.”

The second issue Kendra was facing was that Timeslips wasn’t Integrating further. TimeSolv integrates with almost every software used in the legal industry. Some popular integrations are:

1- QuickBooks
2- Xero Accounting
3- Law Pay
4- DropBox
5- Account Edge
6- Microsoft 365
7- NetDocuments

TimeSolv Tip

For Attorneys who use legacy software

Trust accounting with TimeSolv

Lawyers are made to be accountable for every dollar of their clients funds held in trust accounts. TimeSolv helps you easily manage this money in separate ledgers under each specific matter. This helps ensure that client money does not get mixed up with the firm’s assets.

TimeSolv’s Trust Request feature means you can even share requests online for funds, allowing your clients to make deposits into their trust accounts immediately using credit cards. This process speeds up your cash flow significantly.

Results and Benefits

“The favorite feature I have is the app on my phone where it’s just integrated with everything,” says Carpenter Family Law CEO Kendra Carpenter.

Conclusion

TimeSolv listened when Carpenter Family Law expressed a desire that they cannot capture the time they spend on billing and have to do most of the work manually. We quickly knew this was a problem all firms were facing who bill traditionally and worked on our app to make it even better for solo lawyers. With TimeSolv, you can track time from anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
