Tussman Program

Tussman Program is desktop legal billing and accounting software for attorneys who need to manage clients, matters, time, disbursements, bills, and account records. Its billing tools include timed time entry, retainer and trust accounts, customizable bill formats, payment plans, and billing reports. The General Ledger module handles tasks such as checkwriting, posting client costs and receipts, maintaining check registers, preparing financial statements, managing vendor lists, and tracking office payables. A Docket/Calendar module keeps appointments, tasks, and reminders, and can create a series of events from a master event. Additional-cost modules support electronic billing formats including LEDES, Litigation Advisor, and Tymetrix, along with imports from Amicus, TimeMatters, Equitrak, and Copitrak. A separate Local Area Network module lets multiple users access the program at once, with individual IDs, passwords, and configurable access rights. It runs on macOS and Windows. The free version has no time limit, and the maker says data can be retained when moving to the full program. Cloud hosting is available for a monthly fee that includes support and updates, and hosted data is backed up. A purchase includes six months of unlimited phone support; ongoing support requires a current support contract.
