Legal Services Alabama Selects Legal Files to Help with Hurricane Katrina Efforts

Legal Files Software Inc. announced today that Legal Services Alabama has purchased its popular case management software for its Hurricane Katrina Disaster Legal Assistance Hotline Network. Legal Services Alabama is a statewide non-profit organization providing free civil legal assistance to low-income and elderly Alabamians, and victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Legal Files Software Inc. developed the software program that offers both comprehensive case management and eligibility/intake features with input from national legal services experts. The software is designed to replace existing intake processes and help Legal Files customers serve more clients, more efficiently.

LSA Executive Director Melissa Pershing noted, “We’ll convert all of LSA’s field offices to Legal Files as soon as possible in 2006; we just knew that we needed to get our disaster hotline network up and running fast. Our four integrated call centers will be fully operational in two weeks and staffed with LSA attorneys and volunteer lawyers, paralegals and law students--ready to assist the thousands of Katrina evacuees in Alabama rebuild their lives, their homes and their communities. We’re grateful to Legal Files not only for having a great product, but for being so responsive to our needs at such a critical time.”

Legal Files software is used by a number of legal services/legal aid organizations, including Legal Aid Ontario Criminal/Family Law Offices, Legal Aid of North Carolina, Legal Services Corporation of Delaware, Legal Services of Connecticut, Michigan Migrant Legal Assistance Project, North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services, Ohio Justice and Policy Center and the Salt River Prima-Maricopa Indian Community.
