				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Easy&#013;<br />
 Soft is now an official Maryland State Bar Member Association (MSBA). &#013;<br />
Easy Soft now offers a 10% discount on legal software for active members&#013;<br />
 of the Maryland Bar.</p>
<p>Since 1986, Easy Soft has been one of the nation&#8217;s leading providers of law office software.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Soft Products</strong></p>
<p>The&#013;<br />
 company&#8217;s offerings include seamless and integrated legal billing and &#013;<br />
account software , such as Easy Time Bill (ETB), time billing software &#013;<br />
which has received rave <strong>reviews</strong> from lawyers and technology publications, and Easy Trust, our easy-to-use trust fund accounting software.</p>
<p>For&#013;<br />
 real estate lawyers and settlement agents, Easy Soft provides the &#013;<br />
country&#8217;s no. 1 choice for software that helps them navigate and &#013;<br />
generate the tricky HUD settlement statement (or HUD-1 form )-especially&#013;<br />
 in light of the new RESPA rules. It&#8217;s called Easy HUD, and it automates&#013;<br />
 most HUD form calculations-simplifying the financial portion of the &#013;<br />
transaction, enabling pain-free adjustments and errors, and more-while &#013;<br />
leaving the legal work to you.</p>
<p>For divorce lawyers, Easy Soft &#013;<br />
produces Divorce Financials, family law software which simplifies &#013;<br />
financial modeling for divorces. The divorce software has a vast array &#013;<br />
of capabilities, but one of its best is the ability to show you and your&#013;<br />
 client-precisely and powerfully-the real-world financial impact of a &#013;<br />
given divorce settlements, including analyses for present value, and &#013;<br />
income taxes for both parties.</p>
<p><strong>The &#8220;Easy&#8221; in Easy Soft</strong></p>
<p>The&#013;<br />
 philosophy behind all of Easy Soft&#8217;s law office management software is &#013;<br />
simple: you shouldn&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel every time you work on a&#013;<br />
 case. At the outset, every piece of Easy Soft software captures case &#013;<br />
data-one time only. For law office management purposes, that data is &#013;<br />
inserted into your invoices, your ledgers and balance sheets, and your &#013;<br />
trust fund accounting.</p>
<p>For&#013;<br />
 your clients&#8217; cases, that data gets inserted into every piece of &#013;<br />
documentation the case requires: be it a legal form, financial statement&#013;<br />
 (such as the HUD settlement statement, or HUD-1 form), and &#013;<br />
correspondence with your client, or opposing lawyers. In some cases, the&#013;<br />
 software generates comparative analyses-and provides</p>
<p>In most &#013;<br />
cases, our law office software performs any necessary calculations on &#013;<br />
your behalf. If you&#8217;ve slaved over a calculator or an Excel spreadsheet,&#013;<br />
 or tried to get generic small business accounting software to deliver &#013;<br />
needs specific to the management of a law office. This prevents simple &#013;<br />
yet costly numerical mistakes-such as one that would be paid out over &#013;<br />
the course of years (in divorce settlements), one that would affect your&#013;<br />
 title (in a HUD 1 situation), or one that would jeopardize your good &#013;<br />
standing with your state&#8217;s attorney ethics department (in terms of your &#013;<br />
trust fund accounting).</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Included</strong></p>
<p>Typically, law firm software costs upwards of $400 for procurement, and hundreds of dollars more for training and support.</p>
<p>For&#013;<br />
 most of our software packages, our annual fees are just $300. All Easy &#013;<br />
Soft software includes training, technical support, ongoing educational &#013;<br />
support, frequent software updates and improvements, certain practice &#013;<br />
customizations, and personalized (read: actual receptionists versus &#013;<br />
phone menus) service.</p>
<p>With no limitations.</p>
<p>That is our level of commitment to our customers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cloud computing is a major business buzzword today, even though many &#013;<br />
of the people using it don&#8217;t really know what it means. We offer cloud &#013;<br />
versions all of our law office management software , but you may be &#013;<br />
asking a simple question: why are we doing it?</p>
<p>We considered cloud versions of Easy Soft legal &#013;<br />
software programs such as Easy TimeBill for quite some time before &#013;<br />
committing to the idea. We are well known for producing some of the best&#013;<br />
 legal software around and we didn&#8217;t want to jeopardize that reputation &#013;<br />
based on some vaguely-understood new technology. In the end we realized &#013;<br />
cloud computing would give us, and by extension our customers, three big&#013;<br />
 benefits.</p>
<p>First, it gives us better control over our law &#013;<br />
practice management software. Our cloud clients are always using the &#013;<br />
latest, most secure and most fully-featured version of our products. We &#013;<br />
can update the software as much as we need to and yet our clients don&#8217;t &#013;<br />
have to worry about applying patches or whether or not some background &#013;<br />
process will interfere with software.</p>
<p>Second, it gives our &#013;<br />
customers better data security. The data from our cloud users are stored&#013;<br />
 in professionally-managed data centers that are able to deploy a level &#013;<br />
of protection that most legal practices wouldn&#8217;t be able to afford. The &#013;<br />
data is backed up nightly so customers can be sure their information is &#013;<br />
safe even in the event of major disaster.</p>
<p>Finally, it allows us &#013;<br />
to offer our legal software programs to a broader audience. For years &#013;<br />
we&#8217;ve had people asking why we don&#8217;t offer versions for Mac OS or Linux.&#013;<br />
 Although we&#8217;ve looked into converting our products to other platforms, &#013;<br />
unfortunately we&#8217;ve found it wouldn&#8217;t be cost effective to support &#013;<br />
multiple operating systems. However with cloud computing, you can use &#013;<br />
any operating system since our applications are all based on the &#013;<br />
internet. You aren&#8217;t actually running them; we are.</p>
<p>This&#013;<br />
 allows us to offer law office management software that works on tablets&#013;<br />
 . Tablets are cool, but really don&#8217;t have much computing power compared&#013;<br />
 to desktops and laptops. However to access cloud versions of our &#013;<br />
products, you just need a device that can connect to the internet. &#013;<br />
Imagine a real estate agent completing HUD forms and then emailing a &#013;<br />
copy of the form to the client, all while sitting at the client&#8217;s dining&#013;<br />
 room table. With cloud computing, you can do that.</p>
<p>Does this &#013;<br />
mean we are abandoning the desktop? Absolutely not. We see no reason to &#013;<br />
stop developing the best legal software for Windows computers. The two &#013;<br />
versions each fill different needs.</p>
<p>Contact us if you need more &#013;<br />
information on which version of our law practice management software , &#013;<br />
cloud or desktop, is right for your practice.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How much fun is it to calculate and pro rate property and transfer taxes for a real estate closing?</p>
<p>Some might say: &#8216;about as much fun as going to the lawyer.&#8217;</p>
<p>Here&#013;<br />
 at Easy Soft, we&#8217;re perfectly happy to spend our days programming legal&#013;<br />
 software to make it easier for lawyers and their staff to provide top &#013;<br />
quality professional services. So, why not give yourself and your &#013;<br />
paralegal a break by letting us pro rate your taxes and calculate your &#013;<br />
property transfer taxes&#8230; the Easy way?</p>
<p>With Easy Soft&#8217;s &#8220;Real &#013;<br />
Estate Closing Software&#8221;, you gain a comprehensive City, County, School,&#013;<br />
 Condominium, and Sewer taxes proration module. You simply enter the &#013;<br />
annual amounts of the taxes in their respective fields, enter the date &#013;<br />
of closing, and let our Easy HUD Software prorate the seller&#8217;s &#013;<br />
over/underpayments. Our legal software then automatically inserts the &#013;<br />
prorated taxes into the appropriate lines of closing documents, such as &#013;<br />
the HUD 1 form. No more counting days and crunching fractions.</p>
<p>The&#013;<br />
 &#8220;Easy HUD&#8221; law office software also contains the programming for an &#013;<br />
automatic calculation of property transfer taxes. For nearly every &#013;<br />
state, Easy HUD legal software already contains current formulas for &#013;<br />
computations of property transfer taxes. As soon as you enter the sales &#013;<br />
price of the property, &#8220;Easy HUD&#8221; calculates the appropriate property &#013;<br />
transfer taxes. If your jurisdiction doesn&#8217;t appear on the list of &#013;<br />
pre-programmed states, just give us a call, and we&#8217;ll program the &#013;<br />
formulas just for you.</p>
<p>Easy&#013;<br />
 Soft&#8217;s HUD Settlement Statement software is being used right now in &#013;<br />
forty states by thousands of real estate attorneys and their staff. &#013;<br />
Among those closing attorneys is William Bronchick, CEO of Mile High &#013;<br />
Title &amp; Escrow, LLC, who wrote: &#8220;Took 10 mins to install and a day &#013;<br />
to learn, and I taught my staff in just a few hours.&#8221;</p>
<p>Still &#013;<br />
doubtful it can be this easy? Why not take our legal software for a test&#013;<br />
 drive? Every one of our software products can be downloaded in &#013;<br />
demonstration format. You&#8217;ll have a chance to see the screens, fill in &#013;<br />
the fields, push buttons, and print out forms. Of course, we also back &#013;<br />
our law office software by a 30-day money back guarantee.</p>
<p>When it comes to a real estate closing, it&#8217;s no fun, if it&#8217;s not Easy.</p>
