A Balanced Implementation Program developed to meet the specific needs of the firm will ensure that the full impact and benefit of these very sophisticated and powerful software programs will be realized by the firm in the shortest possible time.

We are also an authorized reseller of the TABS 3 Suite of law firm billing and accounting software programs.

Successful billing operations can be measured by two very important items: a healthy financial condition and resiliency in reacting to client billing demands and requirements. Frequently we hear managing partners lament lackluster financial performance believing it to result from poor billing practices or low rates when the reality is that the billing process is broken and needs to be fixed.

Training involves more than just ‘data entry’. The successful installation of software programs must be done within the scope of the “big picture” and not as an isolated event or process. Billing is the firm’s financial lifeline - failure in billing operations means financial troubles are close behind.

Implementation of billing and bookkeeping programs mandates as a first step the training of staff in the use of the program. An essential second step, often overlooked, is an assessment of the interaction of these programs to other internal processes currently in use within the firm. To do one without the other will lead to an ineffective and duplicitous operation. In most cases, software vendors are not capable of providing the this critical second step as they are lacking the requisite knowledge of law firm operations.

The Garver Group, Inc. has the requisite law firm operations knowledge and can assist law firms in the use of various software programs while providing the insight necessary to seamlessly integrate these programs into other critical attorney support processes. Juris, Tabs3, ProLaw and similar Time & Billing Programs are excellent but none are intuitive and all require more then just pushing keys on a keyboard.

This is where we come in.
Our balanced implementation and training programs provides the knowledge your firm needs to fully unleash and master the full potential of your billing software.
