The Ombudsman©v.3.0


Law Office Case Management Software for Windows(TM) & Macintosh(TM)


The Ombudsman is a law office case management software package for general docket and correspondence control. In addition to tracking clients and cases, it includes a docket control system with integrated timekeeping and a correspondence generator and tracking system. Because the author is an attorney who practices Social Security disability law, it includes a number of features to aid in administrative or litigation practice. The Ombudsman is based on Omnis 7, a high end database system used primarily in the corporate world by such companies as American Express, Eastman Kodak, Polaroid, PacTel, Martin Marietta, Monsanto, Sprint & US West. Harvard & MIT are also Omnis 7 users. Originally designed & developed (starting in 1986) by a lawyer to assist in the efficient management of a law practice, the Ombudsman has been available commercially since 1990. The Ombudsman is a stable, well established product, being used daily in law offices throughout the United States. The bottom line - it's got the power and flexibility to automate and manage your case load now - and the depth to expand with you as your practice grows.

Note, a new version of The Ombudsman is being actively developed, and is near completion as of September 2, 2007. While the program is not open for testing as of yet, it most likely will be soon. Along with the new version of the software being developed from the ground up, optional hardware to support the new software is also being prepared. There is no expected release date, and should not be expected before late 2009.

The Ombudsman's development is reaching its final stages, and several screenshots of the applicaton in its current state are listed below.
