Adding new software to a law firm is often a challenge. But, the reward is great. The issue is that most law firms stumble out of the starting blocks, and then squander any gains that they may have had. One way law firms screw this up is to spend too little time vetting software, so that they’re surprised by what they view as limitations during the implementation process -- which may be actual limitations, or just undiscovered existing features, of which the law firm is not aware, because they d

As a kid, I always thought any Hollywood cowboy who could shoot from the hip and kill the villain was one tough hombre that no one in their right mind would ever want to mess with. I viewed those cowboys as heroes and would often pretend I was one of them when playing in the woods behind my childhood home. That was short-lived, however.
