"We were coming from a large law firm with a lot of technical support and obviously it was just going to be the two of us here at the beginning and so I was looking for a software to be as integrated as possible. As a brand new practice, we came from a large firm where we had a large back office that handled all of the billing and the invoicing and sending them all out now it's just the two of us. The great thing is the billing functionality in LEAP. I was always worried in setting up the new practice how I was going to manage that."
