What LawTrust is
LawTrust is locally based trust accounting software for lawyers and others who must maintain trust account records. It supports three-way trust account reconciliation, bank reconciliation, compliance reports, unlimited clients and accounts, and reports for individual ledgers or all open-file transactions. Accounting tools include check printing, master accounting, and clear or uncleared check lists. Users can search, archive, delete, restore, and back up files, then restore them with one click. Data can be exported to Excel, and currency symbols can be set to US dollar, Euro, or Sterling. LawTrust is designed for Windows; Apple computers can run it through Windows installed with VMware Fusion or Parallels. It is described as locally based rather than cloud based, although a cloud database path can be selected. A fully functioning trial is free to download. Annual plans start at 189.95 USD for one computer.
