Matrimonial

"....we get maximum productivity and a 5:1 fee earner support ratio"
(Bristol Solicitors)
DPS Matrimonial is designed to reflect the complete matrimonial procedure, stage by stage in an easy to follow manner, however complex the case. 

Procedures & Workflow & SMS Text Messaging

The procedures and workflow cover acting for respondent or petitioner, unmarried couples, injunctions, financial settlements, case where there are children involved and no children involved. The relevant procedures are displayed depending on the type of case and its stage at that time. This means that on relevant information is shown so simplifying the displays to the user.

When certain tasks are undertaken if the client or another party needs to be contacted then the system can automatically send SMS text messages.

All the precedents supplied can be changed to suit the practice however the system can also be implemented without alteration and then all alterations can be done over a period of time and as required.

Document Assembly & Database

The letters and documents produced by the system are not standard. It will look at a case and decide which clauses and paragraphs to use and so automatically build a document tailored to a specific situation. Case details are taken from the databases meaning that only specific case details such as place of marriage, name of children are entered. Other details such as courts, police station, clients, hospitals, are all pulled from contact databases and never have to be re keyed.

Document Management

The whole file is kept electronically, because the knows about every letter it produces, it also tracks all incoming and outgoing emails and if the firm choose to scan it also records all incoming post and DX documents.

Furthermore, the system allows incoming letters to be automatically dragged and linked to any case file within the DPS system using the Windows drag & drop facility. Faxes and e-mails can also be linked to files in the same way. 

E-mail Integration

All the One Office products fully integrate to Microsoft® Outlook for e-mail allowing instant communication with contacts on the file including courts and police stations. This means when looking at a files case history you can see emails in and out on the file.

When emails are sent from Outlook they can automatically be attached to the case file and incoming emails about cases are automatically filed away to the case by the system.

Tasks on cases can be viewed from Outlook directly despite the fact the One Office Crime may not be running on the computer at that time.

Automated case progression

If a letter or email is sent in the system that needs a reply within a certain period of time then the user can specify that the letter or email is to be ‘chased'. This means that if no reply is received the system will automatically send chasing emails to the relevant party when the time period expires. The automated emails include attachments that copy the recipient with document that they have not responded to.

Accounts Integration

The Matrimonial system integrates seamlessly with Cashier to give you a complete practice management system for the firm.

Fee earners can look at ledger cards from, make electronic cheque requests, record case, record their expenses all from within case.

Cashier is a module in the One Office family and can be added to your system at any stage. Full data conversions are available from most legal accounting solutions. The connectivity of the products is beyond integration in that both products use the same SQL databases and are modules of the same main system.

This integration can save significant time for all departments and even using basic functions such as warning fee earners that it is a unique and powerful system which can literally save hours of valuable fee earning time and facilitates accurate and efficient billing.
