I appreciate the flexibility and choices of all the
reports in the software. Creating report templates for each attorney
and client used to consume vast amounts of my time. Because Family Law
Software has demonstrative reports for virtually every attorney, (and
ultimately), client need, I can customize my analysis even more
efficiently.
A key feature is the ability to share case files with attorneys.
When my attorneys also use the software, working together in tandem on
the case is even more synchronized and harmonized.

I really like the fact that one piece of software does
both property distribution settlement and cash flows simultaneously.
That's a real cost savings to my practice, because I don't have to use
two different pieces of software. I can run my practice more efficiently
and make more money.
I also love the wonderful way it handles reimbursements for community
property states. And I really like the pension reporting.

Family Law Software is a comprehensive solution for
divorce financial planners. I think that eventually all divorce
financial planners and matrimonial attorneys will switch to Family Law
Software. The technical support is excellent.

I switched to Family Law Software. It is definitely
more accurate than the software I was using before.

Our membership is switching over to Family Law
Software. We like the fact that everything we need is in one piece
of software, and that we are not going back and forth as we did before.

A good majority of our members now use Family Law
Software. I find that it produces a much nicer presentation. And
we all really like the fact that the company is very receptive to new
ideas. We find that we're leading the software, not the other way
around.

The program has been stupendous. I used to use
[another program], and this is much better. What I like with the Family
Law Software Planner is that when I make changes, the changes are shown
instantaneously. And it's easy to use - everything is laid out right in
front of you.
As far as the client goes, it's transparent. If a client wishes to,
or his attorney wishes to he or she can follow each number down the
line. You can do three or four or five different scenarios, which
is what I usually do, and you can see each change and what the results
are.

This is the best thing out there, it really is. Right
now I'm working with an attorney who won't do anything until he sees my
reports. I am planning to be an expert witness, and I'm glad to have
all the backup. The reports current and projected net worth is a great
report. The report about alimony taxes saved or paid is very, very
powerful. It's fantastic software.
I have been a Certified Divorce Planner for seven years and tried
many different software programs attempting to provide a factual,
comprehensive analysis for my clients. By far, the Family Law
Software Planner is the easiest and most inclusive program that
offers the widest array of reports. This is crucial since it allows my
clients to know their present situations and prevent mistakes by seeing
the realistic effects of their financial divorce settlement before they
sign on the dotted line.

I have worked with many different financial planning
software packages and I really like this package and the great
service I get from your group! The report choices are great and
help me to customize each analysis to the client's situation. The
Negotiate tab allows me to easily see the impact of other options. The
software helps make my job a lot easier. Keep up the great work!

The program is great. I can present multiple
scenarios to my client, which leads to faster settlements. The
analytical tools also allow for out-of-the box thinking.
I have used the Present Value of Alimony calculation to structure
trade-offs of property that brought the parties to settlement. I
also find the pension evaluator to be a tremendous feature for
getting a fair estimate of what pensions are worth.

As a family law attorney and mediator, I consider the
Family Law Software Planner to be an absolutely essential part of my
practice.
The elegant and easy-to-use interface makes it a snap to input
all of the financial data which must be considered in divorce/support
disputes (and also serves as a comprehensive checklist for both attorney
and client).
Once the data has been entered, the software's powerful suite of
analytical tools go to work. The resulting analysis, graphs, charts, and
"what-if" scenarios, provide
-- the very information which is critical to mediation, settlement,
and/or trial. As the client's situation changes, or new data becomes
available, revisions, re-calculations, and alternative scenarios can be
run at any time, quickly and easily. The Family Law Software Planner
helps me to do my job efficiently, competently, and confidently. And
without fail, your support team has promptly and professionally
responded to my inquiries. Congratulations and thank you for an
excellent product, and excellent support.

This software is very, very helpful, because it
graphically illustrates in a tactile way the client's situation.
I have been using Family Law Software Planner for over a year now,
including in one case with over $20 million in assets.
There's a lot to be said for a client actually having these reports
in his or her hand, as opposed to just having a discussion across the
desk.
I also find that the software helps bring a bit of civility to
the process, because it leads the parties to understand what is
realistic.
I was speaking to a new client the other day, a Harvard Business
School MBA, as it happens. She had all kinds of financial issues, but
she had not been able to get them organized.
I told her that this software would empower her, because it
would get all of her issues organized, and it would help her understand
what is possible and what is not. And she was very appreciative.

What I value in the Family Law Software Planner is its
attention to the varied range of users. The text/language
supports use by attorneys, the tax analysis support CPA's and the
comprehensive analysis is appreciated by CFP's and CDFA's. Furthermore,
it is actively being expanded upon and improved by user suggestions from
the field.

At our firm we provide comprehensive financial planning.
The planning software we use is top notch but does not offer us the
unique aspects of a divorce situation. Built into the Family Law Software software
are such unique items as property division, mortgage refinancing,
pension calculations, child support and maintenance. The software also
provides the ability to present different settlement options to the
client. The attention to detail is surprising. In addition, the
technical support provided to us has been superlative."

I like:
1. That the Family Law Software Planner has the capability to show
two individual tax scenarios with the corresponding cash flows and
balance sheets.
2. That Family Law Software Planner can demonstrate to a divorce
client possible future financial scenarios based on different settlement
options so that the client can be well informed during settlement
negotiations and when he/she makes a final decision.

The software helps me a lot to show the people exactly
where they are. In the time of divorce many seem to believe they will
live their standard of living as usual. Not so! I think the software
goes beyond what I thought I was originally purchasing, and I am very
happy.

I chose Family Law Software - after an extensive
search - to illustrate financial planning strategies for my book,
"The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Financial Security When Getting a
Divorce," for McGraw Hill. It clearly conveys the financial reality and
long-term impact of divorce.

I have shared my work product with collaborative divorce
attorneys in the Maryland Collaborative Law Association, where I
practice, and they say there is no way in the world that they could
replicate the comprehensiveness of these reports. They are simply wowed.

[Family Law Software] features one of the best and
most attractive user interfaces available in financial planning software.
Left-side context-sensitive tabs make for easy navigation, and data
entry is both streamlined and simplified. The charts and reports present
a professional appearance with a respectable audit trail and drill-down
detail capability.
Reasonably priced and easy to navigate, [Family Law Software] allows
people experiencing a divorce to make key life decisions relating to
work, homes, alimony, property division, and to stragetically assess the
impact of the divorce over a period of years. [Family Law Software] is
must-own software for financial planners, if for nothing else
than to ensure that they cover all the relevant planning factors when
their clients divorce.

My niche is that other lawyers and referring contacts
see me as hard-working and efficient, and they know that I enjoy
mediating and assisting legal clients through very difficult times. I
have grown quickly, so that I now have two new family law attorneys and
a full-time legal assistant for family law.
We will all be fully conversant with your program and it will
become key to our ongoing success.
You really do "get it" as to what is useful for attorneys and
mediators.
Now that I carry more than 140 cases at all times I must be certain
that the quality of my work does not slip, especially when others are
now compiling the data. Family Law Software gives me a level of
assurance that my data will be complete when it is time to negotiate
or try a case.

To the crew at Family Law Software:
A Big Thank You! What a terrific response time for solving my
dilemma. I know you worked overtime to get this done for me today. I
really appreciate the effort that was put into making the revision to
the software.
The reports are complete, professional and they looked terrific once
I was able to customize. You have just turned really good software
into great software!

I have been using this software quite a bit, lately.
Here is what I like best about this software in comparison to other
software I have used:
- Ease of data entry.
- Report printing sections match the title of the actual page so
it's easy to find.
- I can choose which sections to print for each client, enabling
the plan to be more customized and appropriate for each client.
- I can show "bottom line" or multi-page details, depending on
what the client needs to see.
- The output is easy for the client to understand.
- The company responds quickly when I have a question or need
help.
- It is obvious that the people in the company want their software
to work well and be "state of the art" and that they look for input
to make it better.

I am up to my elbows in work, but it is important for me
to acknowledge the new level of reporting capabilities your
software has provided.
I am working on my first case, and so far, I couldn't ask for
anything more from your firm in supporting me through the entire
process.
I delivered my first case to my attorney client yesterday and we will
be discussing the content in a meeting planned for today. Everything
Cathy Daigle, CFP, CDFA, said out your firm was exactly correct.
Thanks again for your great service and excellent product.

We use Family Law Software to project expenses,
especially to see how things will look after the alimony ends.
We use the property division reports and capital gains reports.
The software is very thorough. It lets you thoroughly evaluate
the effects of not just the asset division, but also future effects of
assets and alimony.
