Legal clients are changing their priorities and expect attorneys to offer modern, innovative tools like texting and other improved communication tactics. But lawyers can find many other benefits from automating their law firms, including faster processes and avoiding lots of double data entry.

 

Here are five tools you need to automate your bankruptcy practice.

 

 

1. Modern, cloud-based platform

One important step to take in automating your law firm is to sign up for an attorney platform that streamlines your workflows. Ideally, you need a cloud-based application so that teams can access information from anywhere with an internet connection, on any browser and device. Software for bankruptcy attorneys helps you perform tasks like client intake, communication, progress tracking, and electronic filing.

 

NextChapter provides all these benefits and more. Sign up for the software and change the way your practice operates with automation tools.

 

 

2. Client portal

An often tedious part of bankruptcy cases is gathering and entering client information. Use a client portal that will take on much of this work for you. The MyChapter Client Portal from NextChapter helps you seamlessly send out the client questionnaire and it’s all imported directly into the NextChapter case after you review the information.

 

 

3. Client texting

Most Americans have a smartphone with them at all times. When your law firm offers client texting, you can communicate with them instantly and in a format they’re comfortable with. NextChapter offers client texting through NextMessage, and you never have to give out your personal phone number. We’ll assign you a local number, and you’ll receive an email every time a client texts you.

 

 

4. Credit report integration

Another key part of the bankruptcy process is pulling client credit reports. Your firm needs a tool that speeds up this process with automation tools.

 

NextChapter partners with Universal Credit Services (UCS) to get reports fast from the three bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian) into one tri-merged report. All report data is then imported directly and automatically into NextChapter.

 

5. Court notice management

Court notices can take a lot of time to manage and organize. Automate your practice by using a tool that automatically assigns notices to the right case as they come in. NextChapter Notices streamlines and automates this process for you. Court notices from PACER are sent to your inbox, saved and organized, and they’re automatically assigned to the applicable case. And, when a notice comes in, NextChapter automatically adds the date and time of the hearing to your calendar.

 

 

These five tools will help your practice become more automated and organized. NextChapter offers these features and more to help you keep moving forward. Sign up today and start improving efficiency.
