This is a mistake we've all made. It can easily cost you years of your life and hundreds of thousands of dollars in opportunity cost. For some lawyers it can be even more because they never figure it out. So learn how to manage your trust account first before wasting time or money on any software.

Old friend, RJon Robins, who used to work for the Florida Bar answering lawyers' questions about the management and starting of a law practice, is now offering his great video series on how to maintain a trustworthy trust account, online, for free.
