Review of Tussman time-keeping and billing software
Excellent
PROSI used The Tussman Program for time-keeping and billing of all attorneys and paralegals throughout my law practice from 1986 to the present. David Tussman has constantly upgraded and improved his product, and his cloud-based option enabled me to continue my law practice remotely after the COVID shutdown ordered in the Bay Area on March 16, 2020. I continue to use The Tussman Program today.
CONSI have not had any problems with the features, and any issues were resolved quickly by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his staff.
Reasons for switching to The Tussman Program
Tussman Program gave us the ability to generate client bills in a much more timely fashion, which greatly helped with collections.

the best legal software and support we have ever used!
Best software and support, customer for life!
PROSThe program is easy to use. It has a lot of bells and whistles we don’t use. What we do work with daily is a straight forward program that makes sense. When I have a question, I call [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and he walks you through whatever ia needed, he’s always quick at responding and I love I have one person to deal with, unlike other previous programs we have used where the support is terrible.
CONSThanks can’t think of any cons, love it!

Beacaue I could talk directly to Davis and he knows his stuff, and he’s really accessible and nice!
Reasons for switching to The Tussman Program

Undeniable Value
We have been using it as long as I have worked here, the best part being the ability for create reports for various situations and tasks
PROSThe reporting is very robust and customizable, some reports can be exported to CSV and they can be filtered down very easily.
CONSI wish there were more ways to import data.
Reason for choosing The Tussman Program
I was not here when we purchased the Tussman Program however whenever being approached by other software sales, nothing compares for the cost.

PROSProduct is easy to use. Great customer support.
CONSThere are no negatives to this product.
Reason for choosing The Tussman Program
A colleague recommended the program to me based on customer support, ease of use, and low cost. The colleague was right on al three counts. Since I'm a solo proprietor, I do all my own billing, entries, etc. I cannot overemphasize how happy I am with this product.

Why I Love Tussman
I love this program! After using a "business" billing program for 5 years, finding the Tussman program made things so much easier since it is Taylor made for a law practice. We've been using it since 1993, and don't plan to switch to anything else - ever!
PROSThe program is so easy to use and fits all the various areas of law our firm practice: litigation, estate planning, general legal, collections etc. The options are there to configure bills to fit the type of file.
CONSWhen entering payments, I would like the program to "hold" the check or payment reference number so after a portion of the payment was applied to Fees, you didn't have to retype what are sometimes lengthy check/payment numbers again, when a portion of the payment was applied to Costs in the very next entry. Regarding the trust account, it would be helpful on collection type billings if the "Cut off Date for Payments" also applied to payments made into trust. When we do a monthly bill in early November for file work thru 10/31/21 for instance, so that any money in trust collected in the month of October can be paid out to client and to our firm, if a debtor has made a payment that was put into trust November 2 or 3, it shows on the Trust Account Recap, even if the cut off date of 10/31/21 is used. This causes confusion since we would not yet be paying out payments made in the month of November.
Reason for choosing The Tussman Program
Tussman fits all the various areas of law our firm practices, and bills can be configured to fit the type of client file.
Reasons for switching to The Tussman Program
The previous program did not work well with the various types of law our firm practices.

The Tussman Program Review
You can really do a lot with this program. One thing I really enjoyed was the ability to make lists and generate reports, filtered by the parameters we needed. We used this to quickly find out who to send Christmas cards to, what cases are active, what cases have pending items, who has referred cases to us in the past year, and a plethora of others. What is even better is the support staff are so easy to reach and/or quick to return calls, it really makes you feel appreciate, and operate more efficiently and stress-free.
PROSThis product is really easy to integrate into your business. As new clients come in you add their information in the program and as you provide services, you input what you do. You can also separate the costs, administrative time, non-billable costs/time, billable hours, etc. It then prints the invoice out in an easy to read document. You can also customize certain features to better fit your needs and make billing quicker and more efficient.
CONSOne thing I would would like to see improved is the ability to undo more than once, like (ctr + z) in Microsoft. This program only lets you undue once. Also, there is a button next to spell check button that inserts the text from the previous entry and then there is no way to undue it. Sometimes when I am going to spell check my billing entry description, I accidently click on this box and then have to type what I originally had all over again. Its not too bad, just annoying. But, that is something I would like to see altered in future version.

Great software!
I love the Cloud-based storage feature of this software. I never have to worry if my computer crashes because all of my information is easily retrieved.
CONSIt would be helpful if there was a way to edit each individual bill as I preview the bills on the system, instead of having to remember which bills I need to go back and edit after I've exited the preview screen.
Reason for choosing The Tussman Program

Review of Tussman Program for this Sole Practitioner
The fact that I can create my monthly bills by first viewing prebills and making the changes needed and then finalizing the bills is extremely helpful to me. Also being able to do the accounting procedures and having the accounting information on line and easy to get to is very helpful in dealing with clients.
PROSAs a sole practitioner the the integration of the billing program with the calendar, and the accounting function was critical to me. Most of my contemporaries were using different programs for different functions.
CONSThe accounting program can be somewhat difficult at times, but that is probably due to my lack of accounting expertise.

Very robust, stable, flexible, adaptable and customizable platform and software
Excellent features, very robust for a small firm.
PROSThe Tussman Program allows for a high level of customization, a fairly understandable manual to use to customize and implement software, and, most of all, you can back out/unfinalize transactions if needed.
CONSThe user interface is a little clunky, like DOS, but is the necessary exchange to feel like you really have control over how this program is working for you how you want it to work.

I enjoy the customer service and overall ease of using the program! 10/10 will be recommending it to others.
PROSNot only is the software inexpensive compared to competitors, but the program is efficient and easy to use and understand and Richard and David are always ready to help with anything!
CONSI love everything about this software and will likely expand its use into calendaring as well.

The Tussman Program Review
This program has a really helpful User Manual that I refer to still after 10 years of using this software. When all else fails and I need assistance [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has always been very gracious and quick to answer my emails and help me.
PROSThe entering of time and expenses are extremely easy to use. We use this program mostly for billing purposes and it works wonderful for our needs. I took care of billing at a previous law firm and used two different billing software programs and The Tussman Program beats them hands down on ease of use.
CONSFor the most part I have not experienced many problems with Tussman. Sometimes it is difficult to select the correct choices for reports but that could be that I just do not understand what I am doing.

Tussman is the best billing program on the market.
Tussman is my billing program. It is fantastic. Simple to use and maneuver - especially when i have a client who wants to see a different format than my basic format. The entries are easy to edit and simple to understand.
PROSThis product is very intuitive and simple to use and set up. The very best thing about this program is the phenomenal support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] himself. I have trained many people on this program and we are all very happy with the ease of use, intelligent formats and flexibility.
CONSI would like more fields in the "client name" section to add the title of the particular case.
Reason for choosing The Tussman Program

Great for Small Legal Practice
What I like the most is that if I do have an issue, one call solves it very quickly and easily as I always speak with a human who is extremely familiar with the program including Mr. Tussman. Very personal!
PROSAs a sole practitioner, this software has been perfect for me. I am the only one who does the legal billing and did not require a program that could serve a huge number of users. Very customizable for my practice, from the billing format to the actual disbursement codes. Very easy to integrate with my practice
CONSI probably do not use many of the features as they aren't needed and in some ways makes the program a little more complicated

Best Billing Program
We initially used the Tussman Program for our Legal Billing only. However about 10 years ago we decided to change from Peachtree Accounting and use the Tussman Accounting side of their program. What a pleasant experience.
PROSWe purchased the Tussman Program back in 1992 and have never even thought of changing. We previously used Time Slips for our law practice. What a nightmare that program was. The Tussman Program was easy to implement, easy to set up and easy to use.
CONSI have no complaints whatsoever regarding the Tussman Program.
Reasons for switching to The Tussman Program
