    Picture This...

    Imagine a typical day for busy bankruptcy attorney, Jane. She begins her exciting day in court at a 341 Hearing Meeting of Creditors. During the hearing, the Trustee requests necessary documents that Jane didn't bring physical copies of. But Jane knows that there's another, more efficient way to show these documents to the Trustee. In just a few finger movements, Jane pulls out her phone and easily accesses all documents and information regarding the case, free of the hassle of starting up her laptop or shuffling through paper copies1.

     

    After the meeting, Jane receives a call from her secretary, Jacob. He informs her that one of the firm's leads, Tyler, is requesting a meeting to proceed with bankruptcy and is only available this afternoon. Although she's on a tight schedule, Jane finds a free hour on her calendar in the mobile app2. She quickly locates the debtor's contact information in the app3 and gives him a call to schedule their appointment. Tyler agrees to meet at a near-by Starbucks. And just like that, Attorney Jane scheduled a meeting and converted a lead into a client within minutes.

     

    Jane heads to her meeting with the debtor, but realizes she forgot her laptop back at the office. Luckily for her, she has all information and documents she needs in NextChapter's mobile app4, so she can conduct the client meeting without any issue!

     

    She arrives at the coffee shop and grabs a latte for an afternoon pick-me-up. When Tyler arrives, he expresses how happy he is to meet with her in such a timely manner. Jane pulls up the mobile app once again to take notes, and update the status of the case3, making the meeting run smoothly and most importantly, pleasing her client. At the end of the meeting, Tyler asks Jane about which documents she needs to proceed with preparing the petition. Jane references the document checklist in the mobile app5 to provide him with a list of exactly what she needs.

     

    After the meeting, Jane heads back to court to end her day. While she's waiting for the Trustee, she sees an email come through her phone from Tyler that includes the requested documents. She downloads each of the documents, opens NextChapter's mobile app, uploads them into Tyler's client document storage, and checks them off on the document checklist3.

     

    With a short mobile meeting and just a few taps of a button, Jane has everything she needs to begin preparing the petition through NextChapter.
