"I love the software! The upgrades
and improvements you’ve made over the years make it an invaluable tool. The functionality
matches everything on my wish list. I especially appreciate the “What-If”
feature when negotiating asset divisions during mediation."
Jacki Gold-Roessler, Southfield, Michigan
"I am so happy with this software.
"
Donald Paris, Rockville, Maryland
"Family Law Software is the most
comprehensive and complete divorce software in the industry.
It is easy to navigate and create the needed
scenarios for effective use with clients and attorneys."
Gary LaMusga, Walnut Creek, California
"Family Law Software and their staff have
been an incredible help to my business.
Anytime I've needed assistance, even on
weekends, someone has been there to help me!
And in those very rare instances where an
error was due to a minor bug in the software, they had it corrected within a
day or two.
If only we could get that level of service
from other providers.
Thank you, Family Law Software!"
Jeffrey Landers, New York, New York
"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."
Andrew Hoffman, CDFA, Mandeville, Louisiana
"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 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.
Not only do I use the software, but for cases
where I am retained for Net Worth Statement and Financial Affidavit
preparation, I will not take the case unless the other professionals involved
use Family Law Software as well. "
Michelle Smith, CFP(R), CDFA, New York, New York
"I've been doing Financial Planning for
Divorce for several years now.
I'm hearing from new clients that attorneys
are mentioning my name, and that the attorneys feel the work I do is very
thorough.
I'll give lots of credit to your software for
that!!"
Carol Arnott, CFP(R), CDFA ChFC, Greenville, Delaware
"Family Law Software is key to divorce
settlements.
Clients tell me that they've learned so much
about their financial picture and feel comfortable with the decisions they are
making.
Our membership are all using 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."
Cathy L. Daigle, Los Gatos, California
"Family Law Software is an invaluable
tool in my divorce practice.
The technical support is fabulous - always
available and willing to solve the problem."
Barbara Shapiro, CFP(R), CDFA, Dedham, Massachusetts
"Before switching to Family Law Software,
I was using one program for tax calculations, child support guidelines,
creating financial affidavits and other calculations, and another program to
illustrate property division and long-term projections of settlement scenarios.
It was an inefficient and frustrating process.
Now I use Family Law Software for every aspect
of the divorce planning process, saving me time and my sanity!
The reports are exceptional and easy to
understand, which help me create a professional and impressive work product.
"
William Donaldson, CFP(R), CDFA, Stratford, Connecticut
"I think the program is great. It enables
you to present different scenarios to your client in an extremely helpful way.
The analytical tools also allow for out-of-the
box thinking.
For example, I have used the Present Value of
alimony calculation to structure trade-offs of property that got the parties to
settlement. I also find the pension appraisal to be a tremendous feature for
getting an estimate of what the pension is worth. "
John Faggio, CPA, CFP(R), Columbia, Maryland
"I have been using Family Law Software
since 2005.
It is virtually the only software that I need
to operate my Divorce Financial Planning Practice.
Client service is fantastic and the firm is
regularly improving the software.
I would strongly recommend this software to
anyone considering it. "
Mike Durante, CFP, CDFA, Brewster, New York
"I like that the software can be so
detail oriented and will roll up to highly-summarized, very simple reports.
We can see all the assumptions and all the
calculations, because it gives you a trail, so you can go back and see where
every number came from.
We should all be using this software. "
Lili Vasileff, CFP(R), CDFA, Woodbridge, Connecticut
"You guys are the fastest support team
for any software, anywhere. Thank you!"
Steve McBride, CDFA, Greenwood Village, Colorado
"I met with these clients for six weeks.
All the meetings happened at our office with Family Law Software on our big
screen.
When the attorneys were brought in, they said
that they had a settlement right off the bat based on our work.
It felt like a home run. And Family Law
Software was a significant part of that. "
Frank Fantozzi, CPA, CDFA, Brecksville, Ohio
"With Family Law Software, it took me
four hours less than it usually takes me to prepare my initial round of
reports, and I think I did a pretty darn good job.
I was blown away. Now, I can take on more work
and my clients get charged less, and everybody wins. "
Teresa Sisk, CDFA, Seattle, Washington
"The eye-opening Net Worth graph gives
clients the big picture.
Just that alone is so compelling to facilitate
agreements between the parties.
This software is pivotal right now because it
can give you the long-term ramifications of the clients' decisions. This
software enables the collaborative interdisciplinary team members in assisting
our clients in promoting positive brainstorming sessions.
It empowers clients to see how they can make
the best decisions now in order make it financially in the long term. "
Donna Smalldon, CDFA, CFP, MBA, Portland, Oregon
"I have been a Certified Divorce Planner
for many years and tried many different software programs attempting to provide
a factual, comprehensive analysis for my clients.
By far, Family Law Software 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."
Joan Coullahan, Independence, Kentucky
"In the three months after I started
using Family Law Software, it doubled the efficiency of my office and
greatly enhanced my courtroom presentations.
Thank you for such a great tool! "
Janet Bouma, CDFA, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
"Family Law Software responds to tax
law changes and technological questions more quickly than any company I have
ever worked with.
The well placed help buttons
anticipate questions that might arise during data input and the more
info tabs can be a great resource for guidance on entering and
considering content."
Amy Whitlatch, Cincinnati, Ohio
"The divorce process can necessitate
advisors to pick up a file after many months of inactivity.
Family Law Software enables the professional
to have immediate access to organized records and reports saving countless
hours recreating the wheel.
The ability to clearly communicate data
translates into power and facilitates settlements.
The negotiate tab in the software
is a professional's direct link to transition the parties to settlement."
Rebecca Murphy, Cleveland, Ohio
"As a Collaborative Practitioner,
Mediator, and Family Law Litigator, Family Law Software's clear and flexible
reports has made settlement (and persuasion) so much easier.
This program was written by people who
understand that there can be multiple points of view on each issue and asset
and who make it easy for us to evaluate how far apart these really are.
The ease of entering information once,
documenting the details, and applying the information where needed in other
reports is astounding.
The tech support, responsiveness to questions
and speed of updates to keep up with tax and other changes is the best
ever."
Maralee Nelder, CFLS, CDFA, Grass Valley, California
"I must share with you that the
professional, thorough reports I was able to generate with Family Law
Software played a major role in settling a very difficult case the other day.
The combination of graphs and spreadsheet
allowed both the wife who processes information visually and the husband who is
very analytical to grasp the information equally well. Their attorneys were
very pleased as well.
Thank you for making me look so good!"
Thea Glazer, CFP, CDFA, MS. Accounting, San Diego, CA
"I'm a newbie to the Collaborative
Process, and I bought Family Law Software with my first case. It was an
invaluable tool to streamline my process and guide me through the process.
It has excellent functionality and support."
Marsha Brooks, Scottsdale, Arizona
"I've used Family Law Software for
several years, and it is the best option for litigated and collaborative
divorces. It is updated regularly, and the tech support is fantastic."
Dennis DeKok, Grand Rapids, Michigan
"Clients and their attorneys are
consistently impressed with the capabilities of Family Law Software. They love
the ease with which we can change a figure or two to run different scenarios.
You help them to reach informed decisions, and you make me look good in
the process. Thank you!"
Margaret Little, Virginia Beach, Virginia
"I use Family Law Software and it is
great. It incorporates a lot of helpful tips, explanations, and guides you
through the process. I just used it the other day for valuing pensions for a
case. It is very easy and helpful to the Collaborative process."
Luana Mobley Corral, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
"I have been using Family Law Software
since 2009 and must say that I am more than satisfied with the product.
In my opinion it is far superior to any other
divorce software on the market.
Whenever there is a change in the divorce or
tax law the software is updated immediately.
When purchasing any product the sign of a
great company is the customer support after the sale and Family Law Software
customer support is excellent. If you have a question on divorce or how to use
the software the answer is just a phone call away.
The how to videos and webinars at no charge is
another feature that many other software companies in any discipline, do not
offer. Keep up the good work!"
Len Nassi, CFP, CDFA, Hollywood, Florida
"I use Family Law Software all the
time in collaborative cases.
I like that it allows us to do many iterations
on the case.
It also helps us answer questions the clients
have."
James G. Russell, CPA, Filomeno & Company, PC, West Hartford, CT
"I have been using Family Law Software
for many years. The program is frequently updated for tax changes and new
features.
The software has a comprehensive menu of
reports that are available, integrates accurate tax adjusted calculations, and
can easily produce multiple scenarios.
This program has been an invaluable resource
for my practice for the most basic to the most complex cases. "
Jerry Cohen, CPA/PFS, CFF, CDFA, Woodland Hills, CA
"Family Law Software is an invaluable
tool for financial professionals working in the divorce process.
I use the software to help the parties and
their attorneys examine and project settlement options."
Mary Prior, MS, EA, CFP, CDFA, Valhalla, New York
"As a Collaborative financial neutral and
financial mediator, I'll often attend settlement meetings with attorneys and/or
a divorcing couple and project the Family Law Software against a screen or
monitor for everyone to see.
To be able to make a change in the property
division, support amounts or any other number and enable everyone to
immediately see the impact of the change is no small matter.
The pencil-and-paper attorneys seem especially
impressed."
Don Blythe CPA, Kansas City, Missouri
"I
have used Family Law Software for more than 4 years. It's easy to use and
provides many useful financial tools for resolving family law issues
between the parties in addition to preparing quality Financial affidavits,
child support guideline calculations and Net Worth/Equitable distribution
schedules.
Their technical support is fantastic and they
are constantly making improvements and updating the program. Quite frankly, I
believe the program is worth a lot more than they're charging."
Roderick C. Moe, CPA,ABV,CDFA,CFF, CVA, Lake Worth, FL
"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."
William Chamberlin, St Louis, Missouri
"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."
Matthew Bernstein, Atlanta, GA
"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 program 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."
Gary Castine, SageRutty and Co., Inc Rochester, New York
"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. "
Geralyn Jensen, SageRutty and Co.,Inc Rochester, New York
"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."
Alan Feigenbaum, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
"The Family Law Software Planner allows me to
very quickly produce something that makes lawyers and judges understand my
client's position. More importantly, it really changes my clients' lives."
Sandi Geller, Newton, MA
"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."
Gerald Veydt , Parting Ways, Inc.
"I have a few other financial divorce software
programs, and I find this to be the most thorough. I feel like I'm covering all
my bases with the Family Law Software Planner."
Savilla Stokas, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
