TimeSolv Reviews Recently Reviewed!
I've used TimeSolv, first as an agency employee and then as an owner, since 2002. It's indispensable
Likely Extremely
Pros: We are a fee-for-service organization, so time-keeping is essential. TimeSolv reduces the time we spend keeping track of client service time. Additionally, it allows us to create accurate work statements and analytical tools, literally in seconds. Our clients appreciate the reports as much as we do. And in rare instances of client non-payment, we have been praised by attorneys and judges for our superb record-keeping. Our marketing agency depends on TimeSolv.
Cons: Because the application has such deep functionality, there is a learning curve for administrators and new users. Each new user needs to receive training and will likely have many questions. But TimeSolv has excellent telephone training, tutorials, and customer support. Any function-rich software application is going to require training, so we don't see this as a downside.
Overall: Accurate time-keeping; minimal time spent keeping time; professional, accurate reports that are easy to customize and easy to prepare; superb flexibility in setting up projects and making time entries; credibility with our clients (our invoices are never questioned, which contributes to maintaining excellent client relationships); too many more to list.
Full Service Time and Billing System
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use.
We switched from a desktop version of Sage TimeSlips to TimeSolv, I was used to dealing with frequent database corruptions, and strange errors. We didn't experience any in the change over, which was super easy.
Billing is straight forward, and it's pay per time keeper, with no extra charges for admin staff who query the database or enter time for charged professionals. You can add or subtract time keepers at any time, and the bill is automatically updated with the next monthly charge. There is no pro-ration for partial months.
Cons: Reports need to be generated online and then downloaded as PDF files. The core functionality to generate reports has been well thought out, but the actual user experience in reviewing those reports could definitely be improved. Frankly, we've been disappointed in the lack of online reporting which is really the standard for this type of product.
Overall: Time and Billing system is greatly simplified, predictable, and cloud based. We've cut our time keeping time down, and made the system cloud based and accessible from outside our office. Love the Iphone/Android app.
Unparalleled customer support. Excellent, custom conversion from 15+ years of Timeslips data
Likely Extremely
Pros: I can't say enough good about the customer support compared to every other software I've ever used - of any description. I am a sole proprietor, and the time that the reps took to convert my 15+ years of Timeslips data into a mostly familiar format in TimeSolv. Several lengthy phone meetings and training sessions were involved to make sure that they understood what I needed and I understood how to use their product. I have to say, now that I'm adjusting to the new web-based platform, I am able to accomplish my daily timekeeping, invoicing and AR entries with less steps and greater efficiency than I ever did with TimeSlips. The search functions just work better, in nearly every field. The invoices are easier to tweak to my needs and preferences. Although it has taken me a little while to adjust to so many new ways of doing familiar things, it is starting to make sense, and I prefer it to any timekeeping software I have used. And after TImeSolv solved and answered all my questions and got me there, I called the main 800 line for a quick question about how to allocate payments. My call was answered on the 3rd ring and woman instantly had the answer to my question, and made sure I understood what I was doing before she got off the phone. Unbelievable - dare I say old -fashioned? - customer support for a thoroughly modern program.
Cons: The reporting functions a little less intuitive than other functions, to my mind, at least. A quick daily snapshot of time billed today, this week, month, year, would be useful.
Overall: Complete, useful conversion from TimeSlips. Regular updates. Great customer support.
Love TimeSolv!
Likely Extremely
Pros: We use TimeSolv for all our time entry, legal billing and I use it daily for client expense entry. I like that I can run reports on Ledger Entries, Expense Entries, etc., at any time. I also think TimeSolv's customer support is excellent. Every time I've had to call for support, I've ended up learning a new function of TimeSolv from the rep helping me.
Cons: Although I've been using TimeSolv for three years, I still find client invoices extremely confusing, as do most of our clients. I spend a lot of time on the phone when clients call in because they don't understand their invoice.
Overall: My overall experience with TimeSolv is very positive. I always know exactly where I am on time entry, billing, and expense entry. It's easy to use. For example, I can run a ledger entries report when I'm on the phone with a client trying to determine total hours or expenses, making it possible for me to immediately answer any questions.
Affordable - Easy to use - Excellent Customer Support
Likely Extremely
Pros: Once I went through the intro training, all my time & billing and A/R and trust account needs were easily implemented and updates and the system was very easy to use. Best of all, TimeSolv's customer support - especially rep. - is practically on demand and always most helpful with any technical assistance. If they do not know the answer, they will stick with you until they find one.
Cons: Only Con so far is that the document storage system available is not efficient as all files/docs have to be uploaded one by one as opposed to a drag & drop feature or the ability to upload batches of docs/folders/files. For attorneys, this is a critical need (cloud storage and electronic record keeping), that cannot require a lot of time in a law firm. If a solution was found for that issue, I can see me being a TimeSolv user for life.
Overall: As a new solo practitioner, who researched dozens of systems for months, I am glad I found an affordable solution for my time & billing and trust account needs.

TimeSolv is an elegant solution for time-tracking and professional billing.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software mimics what I did on paper years ago. TimeSolv allows you to drill down on a particular day or time period on a calendar to audit your work by client, project, task, or category. The software integrates time tracking and time billing-generating invoices that can be customized and tweaked to be rendered so the client has an understandable and informative presentation of the work performed and expenses incurred.
The ability to attach receipts to expense charges is a bonus.
Significantly, the support is excellent whether online or direct person to person. The webinars also are supberb..
Cons: There is nothing I do not like about this software, which has been the case for years and, amazingly, the software keeps improving each year by adding incremental features.
Timesolve the most capable and easiest to use Time & Billing
Likely Extremely
Pros: It's intuitive. We Mac users--even when forced to use PCs--believe the user should be able to do 95% of the desired tasks without ever opening the user manual. Timesolv meets this standard so well one would think it was designed on a Mac!
Cons: Typical of all the time/billing apps, there are too many places to enter "settings" that can cause odd results that are then difficult to fix because you can't easily identify which setting is the culprit.
Overall: TimeSolv just works. In fact, it does the user's work for you. Time & Billing records are difficult enough by themselves. TimeSolv takes out the mystery. Moreover, if you ever have a question the Support Team is on it right away. And they listen! A few years ago, I made a suggestion which they employed less than a week later. TimeSolv is simply the best!
Easy to use & helpful support
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is a really easy software to use. Training new users for our law firm has gone quickly because the software is not hard for beginners to figure out and is very intuitive. I also love that you can enter time from the application which makes it easy to record time when I am away for a meeting or traveling for a client. Any time I have had a question or needed further explanation on how to do something the Timesolv support staff has been very quick to respond and take care of the issue. I have used this software for nearly six years and don't plan on changing.
Cons: The only part of the software that was a little harder to figure out was the conflict and related party piece of the software.
Timesolv Review
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like how simple this software is. I have it saved as a bookmark for easy access. The time checking is super easy to use and figure out. I like how you are able to review payments and invoices on the clients. Anyone in the office can have access to view clients billable hours or they can even print a report that that client to see what has been done so far on a case and how much that client has been or if the client is late on a payment. The pricing of the software is great compared to other software that is out there on the market today.
Cons: The one issue I have in regards to the software would be the start timer option. I wish when you click on the box for that it would show when you started the timer and click to end the timer. I don't use the widget that you can download for the desktop so I not sure if they would show it or not.
Best time keeping software on the market
Likely Extremely
Pros: They show your target billing for time and collection in a beautiful bar graph or line graph right on the dashboard. You can create easy shortcuts for repetitive entires, and copy entries while adjusting details. It is very fast to load. It also has features to help track commissions to pay and trust account balances. There are numerous options for reports that help managers track performance. Exceptional customer service and training support.
Cons: I wish it had a workflow feature to manage tasks.
Overall: This software is the best. We have tried RocketMatter, ActionStep, Practice Panther, but none compare to the functions available in this software, and the training and support we have received is exceptional.
Best Legal Billing Product!!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to learn/use; excellent customer service; makes billing clients a simple process; you can set up different commission percentages for each attorney for each client/matter - program automatically calculates commissions.; you can email invoice/statements directly to clients with one click. Save time and money with Timesolv!
Cons: Timesolv takes their customers feedback very seriously. There is very little I can say I like least with this program, as they have added/changed many things to accommodate us and other customers. Wish it had more invoice templates..that's about it
Overall: I've been working in Legal support for 20 years and have used a variety of legal billing programs..Hands down - this is THE BEST!!
Setting up LawPay to work with TimeSolv - a breeze, with great support person helping
Likely Extremely
Pros: - Great value for the money,
- Ease to use cloud access - because I often have to be at clients' locations and like to enter my time and costs while still on-site,
- Totally usable interfaces for Time, Disbursements, and Invoicing.
- But best of all, the ability to design different invoice templates, which - sadly - some of the new competing cloud systems that keep calling me to leave TimeSolv and use their system, just can't seem to have the ability for me to design different billing invoice templates - it's either "my invoice version, or the road" - they basically say. TimeSolv has always been able to allow me to design different templates for the different kinds of clients I have. And I have been using this for 6 years running.
Cons: Setting up clients and matters and "related parties," is a bit "clunky" but still usable. It's OK for me, for the clients I have, and the areas of law where I concentrate my practice.
Overall: It works and it is cloud based.
Billing Without the Hassle
Likely Extremely
Pros: Relatively easy format for data entry, though the interface appears somewhat dated. Creating matters, time/expense entries and invoices is seamless, and the functionality is sufficient. TimeSolv meets my needs without proving so many options as to bog me down.
Cons: Although TimeSolv advertises unlimited data storage, there are per document data limits of 10mb. This is unfortunate, as most document dumps, medical records and discovery sets exceed this limit. Breaking up documents is feasible, but not preferential to maintaining the documents in their original form.
Overall: I have tried many billing/practice management software available on the market. Some have so many features entering data becomes burdensome, and consistency in document naming, integration or data entry is difficult to maintain. Others have so few features they leave one wanting for more. TimeSolv is a "middle of the ground" solution that should prove relatively intuitive for new staff, and easily accessible for older attorneys transitioning from paper billing to electronic. Perhaps the best feature of TimeSolv is their customer service. TimeSolv resolved a technical issue I was experiencing within 24 hours, and on a weekend, to ensure I could promptly deliver invoices on a Monday. Having recently started my own firm, after years in the defense market, I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with too many customer service reps. TimeSolv's customer service experience was by far the most expedient, least painful of all the vendors I have been dealing with recently. I haven't had TimeSolv for very long, but if I don't experience ongoing technical issues, I will highly recommend the software to colleagues.
In-House counsel at Small Company
Likely Extremely
Pros: I practiced for over 20 years at large and small law firms with various time-keeping software packages. When I became General Counsel at my current relatively small company, I considered those firm-centered software packages far too expensive to use to track my time internally.
Fortunately, a friend suggested TimeSolv. After a month-long trial period, I was hooked. For a very reasonable price, the TimeSolv package allows me to easily and accurately track my time. Now when I or my stake-holders want to examine how I'm spending my time and how my company is distributing our legal resources, the answers are right at our fingertips. The many pre-formatted reports save me the trouble of defining output formats. Instead, I select one of the (well-designed) existing formats, push a few buttons, and -- boom! -- there it is.
Frankly, I wish we'd had this software at some of my previous firms, it's so easy to use. It seems to do everything that I recall ever doing with other time-keeping packages, too. I recommend highly.
Cons: My foremost suggestion (a minor one) would be to have the iPhone-based app automatically update my account, rather than forcing me to push the "Synch" button to make that happen. This is a quibble, though.
Love this billing solution
Comments: I've been using TimeSolv since I started my own law practice over 5 years ago. My first day in my own office, I got a free 30-day subscription to Quick Books, but I found that it was not conducive to a law practice so I went online looking for something else. I was really glad I did because I found TimeSolv and I've been very happy with it. They include a 90-minute tutorial with a live person so you feel like you get started out on the right foot, then if you have questions, they are always available to help. For about the first year or so, I had to call every month when I was doing my invoices since there was usually something I hadn't done before so needed assistance, but they are always very nice about walking me through it. There's one thing I would change if I could, and that is that a bill gets automatically generated for a client every month until there is a zero balance, even if I added no billable time that particular month. I bill on the first of every month for the previous month, and if I send a client a bill that does not get fully paid off before the next bill goes out, and I haven't done any new work for that client that month, then a new bill doesn't automatically generate. However, I like to send out a bill every month just because I won't receive any further payments unless I do so. I have to "trick" the system into generating a bill by putting an expense on and then deleting it. This is a cumbersome solution so I would rather the system do it on its own. Other than that, though, the system is very user friendly and I have no complaints. Before going on my own, I was at a firm for 8 years and we had a bookkeeper to do all our invoices. When I went solo, I was a little apprehensive about having to do it all myself. Timesolv makes it very easy though, and I tell other lawyers about it all the time. Thanks for a great product!

Excellent, discovering a new wonderful feature every day. My practice would not thrive without it.
Pros: It has features which makes time keeping and billing customizable down to the most minute detail, in an intuitive way. Reports keep me on top of everything, I sleep better thanks to Timesolv.
Cons: Could be even better if it was possible to record time and disbursements on a mobile or tablet. I bill in different currencies like EUR, Turkish Lira and GBP but there is no foreign currency support. This would add huge value to the application and open the door to international sales.

by TimeSolv Billing on July 10, 2018
Hi Ali, thanks for your kind words! You can, in fact, record time on a mobile and tablet. You can also do disbursements on a tablet as that's the full-featured version of TimeSolv that you can run throuh a browser.
Please contact support at 1.800.715.1284 with questions or assistance! Thanks
Not just for Legal Teams
Likely Extremely
Pros: I was worried about using TimeSolv because it seemed like it was for Legal Teams, however, I am very happy with it. It was easy to set up, easy for everyone to use including my contractors. My accountant was easily set up and can move everything to my QuikBooks without issue. Anytime we have a new project it's just a few clicks to set it up.
Cons: There really isn't much we could find wrong with this software for our application of it.
Overall: The main issue we have solved with TimeSolv is with or Help Desk workers. They can easily time work for each project, we can have a quick view into total hours spent by each person any time of the day we want to see what's going on and who is not actually working right now.
Best Support in the Business!
Likely Extremely
Pros: This is a comprehensive program, which is amazing for the small cost. So there is a little bit of a learning curve for someone (like me!) who is slow to learn new computer programs. But the one-on-one support - actual telephone conversations with them looking at your screen and talking you through everything, answering your questions in real time, etc. - is the best! It is like having a free expert consultant to sit next to you and teach you! I honestly would pay much more for this software just because of the support, but since I work for non-profits, am very grateful that there is such a great company that provides this program and support for what I can actually afford. You won't regret this!
Cons: There is a learning curve to get started, especially if you have odd billing needs. However between the on-line written instructions, the one-on-one telephone support, and practice, it is not difficult at all. And the resulting invoices are absolutely beautiful!!!
Overall: I love this company. They have taken my little consulting company into a much better professional place with the ability to capture, and bill for, ALL of my time spent on projects for each client!
Great product, used them since I started my firm 9 years ago
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use
Cons: None
Overall: I love this company. They are very responsive and their product is very easy to use. If i make a mistake, they right there to help me. From the very beginning when it was just the original developer helping me even when he was all alone to the present with a full staff, they are very thorough and helpful. I have a boutique law firm and find their product very easy to use. They have all the insurance codes in the product and allow for you to enter more as i have some judges in specific departments that like their own categories for fee motions. I run bills monthly for all types of clients.
Recommendations to other buyers: Give it a try!

We love our customers. Your success is our passion.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The program works very well. I hade used TimeSlips for over 15 years but when they switched their data base program it became very slow and their support staff could not fix the problem This if just the opposite of the support staff of TimeSolv. Every time I called, I received very good support. My calls were generated because I was still learning the program and needed help.
Cons: The program is very flexible and therefore there are a lot of different approaches to having the program work exactly as you wish. It just takes time to get it working they way you want but the good news is that the support staff will work with you to get it right.
Easy to use product
Likely Extremely
Pros: The application is easy to use and very user friendly. Easy to change and adjust time and invoicing. Clients like the look of the invoices. Pretty intuitive even for those not familiar with the product. Works well with third party billing systems.
Cons: When something is not working it can take a lot of time to rectify it although that happens very rarely. I wish there were a few more report options specifically related to time keepers.
Overall: Ease of use for time entry and invoicing. Typically connects well with Quickbooks.
Extremely happy Timesolv users at our law firm
Likely Extremely
Pros: The best part about Timesolv is that it is web-based so it is easily accessible. Everyone at our law firm uses Timesolv on a daily basis and it is very easy to use, making it easily adaptable to first-time users.
Cons: Sometimes the Timesolv site is down or has glitches but thankfully, they are resolved fairly quickly, allowing us to get back to business.
Overall: Our law firm uses Timesolv for all of our legal billing. I use Timesolv for our law firm to draft invoices, enter payments and expenses, and to create reports.
Legal Administrator
Likely Extremely
Pros: I've worked with a number of legal billing programs, and TimeSolv is by far the most user friendly. It's easy entering new clients and matters, entering time and running reports, and when I do have questions, customer service reps know the answers and are always quick to respond.
Cons: Setting up and editing invoice templates can be slightly confusing.
Overall: One of TimeSolv's biggest benefits is ease of access for our attorneys. They can input time anywhere they have an internet signal, 24/7.
I began using Timesolv Legal Billing when I started my own law firm in 2008. Never regretted it
Pros: Super easy to use. Lots of functions. Low cost. Excellent customer service and technical support. I would give 6 stars for technical support if I could.
Cons: I never experienced any significant cons. If I had to nit pick something, I would point out that Timesolv did not integrate with my accounting software and it was somewhat difficult to show retainer balances on invoices. However, those issues were not that important to me so I never really tried to work through them.
Some of the best Timesolv Features
Likely Extremely
Pros: First and foremost what's most impressive is the customer service and the training literally on the phone. Their commitment is second to none that you learn the program. Whether one on one or weekly webinars on various features in the program.
Conversion from various software is done in house with full guarantee of success. You can also opt for working through the conversions on your own with clear guidelines within their sample import files for the different areas you wish to bring over.
One of the nicest features is if you're offline there is the time sync tool for mac or windows to keep track of your input and when there's an internet connection will sync Your entries up automatically.
Additionally you can unfinalize bills from any period and when doing so will automatically correct the previous balance of the next bill that will need correction.
Menus are clean and logical with tech support constantly working at enhancements and customer suggestions through their ideas portal.
Pricing is per timekeeper with the admin staff not being counted or charged for logging in at the backend to do the billing chores.
Both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks desktop are supported.
I definitely recommend this cloud billing program for law firms and as the cloud will inevitably take over the server/client environment, TimeSolv is a great investment.
Cons: I was not able to customize the bill layout for my client as was necessary
A recent and permanent convert to TimeSolv
Likely Extremely
Pros: Where to start....we have purchased or demoed countless billing solutions in my firm's multi-year quest to find a better alternative to Time Slips (which we used for the past 12+ years). Clio, Amicus, Bill4Time, Cosmolex, firmcentral, cosmolex, Quickbooks, ebillity, mycase you name it, we tried it. Each had its own selling points, but none offered the whole package.
Then we stumbled across TimeSolv. I can't believe we didn't switch to this software earlier. It is outstanding in every way and the simplicity of the user interface has led to ready adoption by everyone in the office and higher usage, and time capturing ratio, than we have ever experienced.
Cons: TimeSolv rocks'.there remain some features and deeper customization that I would love to see in future updates, but TimesSlv comes as close to meeting it as anything I've ever used though'they have a big fan here
Overall: I just want to say that as a prior and long time subscriber to Time Slips, our recent conversion to TimeSolv has been AWESOME. What a breath of fresh air! Thanks for developing such a great product; we love it already and am sure we will continue to be impressed as we keep uncovering new features.
Very easy to learn and use.
Likely Extremely
Pros: This program is extremely easy to learn and use. The final invoices are easy to read and interpret, especially the trust accounting portion.
Cons: It does not integrate with my Quickbooks desktop. This makes it difficult because now we have to enter everything twice.

Hi Mary, thank you for this kind review. We wanted to let you know that we do in fact integrate with Quickbooks desktop! Please reach out to support at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1.800.715.1284 and they'll help get you set up.
Good software, but wish there was an easier way to view entries
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like that it is easy to quickly add new time entries.
Cons: The one feature I wish TimeSolv had was an easier and more efficient way to view time entries. You can generate a report, but that often takes several minutes, and oftentimes I simply want to see if I've already billed an entry. If there were a more robust searching function, or even a way to simply view all the entries for the month, that would make the software even more useful.

by TimeSolv Billing on April 11, 2019
Thank you for your review. If you go to Time, Search, and then click More Options to the right, you'll find that you can search for time entries by several different filters. You can filter by date range, timekeeper, client, status, or billable type, as well as do searches for specific words. To search for unbilled entries, please select a Status of Approved. Our Expense Search has the same choices. Please see https://help.timesolv.com/searching-for-a-time-entry/ for more information. At that link, you'll also see all our free training available in the left column. Again, thank you for the review and being a TimeSolv customer.
Timesolv is a great choice for a small law firm
Likely Extremely
Pros: Timesolv is easy to use and navigate. The customer support is great. We migrated from Timeslips and it was a pretty easy process. Customer support was great in helping us work through a few glitches.
Cons: Like any new software there a few things that can be a little different and hard to figure out. Customer service has always helped us in these situations.
Overall: Overall Timesolv has been a good solution for our small firm. You can access Timesolv from any computer as long as you have an internet connection. Customer support is what really makes Timeslov work for our small business. When there is a question about how to do something they are quick to respond and help. There is always a learning curve with any new software and Timesolv helps you through it with customer support.
Timesolv is great!
Likely Extremely
Pros: I like the ease of use regarding invoicing. I also love the customer support. I get an answer to my questions within a couple hours, at most. Usually faster than that.
Cons: Some of the reports are confusing to read, and they don't have a few reports I think would be helpful.
Overall: Timesolv billing has positively influenced our law firm. It has made us better organized and more efficient with billing.
For the most part I believe Timesolv is very intuitive and a great system to use
Pros: I love the customer support. Our rep is my favorite service rep. She calls me back right away and is always very helpful. I probably speak to her three times a month.
Cons: I do not like some of the Reports. I think a few are hard to figure out. And for how intuitive the other tabs are, I wish the Reports were better.
Fabulous Product
Likely Extremely
Pros: Thank you for the wonderful support we receive from Support team while I was transitioning from multiple account to one account. I appreciate all the emails, web meetings and patience while I was able to sort through my files. Thank you so much!!
Cons: Nothing - TimeSolv is a great product!!!
I have been a TimeSolv customer for 8 years and I highly recommend it. Great for legal billing.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Many good features to make legal billing easy. Good support when learning how it works and when you have questions going along.
Cons: Have to "trick" system into processing invoice if client did not make a payment, yet there was no new work done for that client. Easy to get around it but it is an extra step.
Support is amazing
Likely Extremely
Pros: Ease of use. My attorneys are actually able to use this software!!
Cons: There is nothing I can say negatively in regards to TimeSolv
Overall: I am an outsourced bookkeeper, working with many different "legal" systems. I have found TimeSolv to be the easiest and the customer support is beyond amazing. Every time I've called, I've had immediate resolution.
TimeSolv is a great for billing!
Likely Extremely
Pros: What we like the most about TimeSolv is that it's simple to use and provides an all around good experience for our firm.
Cons: The only thing we didn't like were the glitches and bugs that would occasionally make our invoice-creating process difficult.
Overall: Overall, we would highly recommend TimeSolv for law firms!
I love TimeSolv; it has been able to do just about everything we need billing software to do
Pros: Easy to use, attractive invoices, and great customer support. Additionally, any new user has to undergo only minimal training before they're off and running.
Cons: For the occasions we needed to change entries from Billable to Non-Billable (or vice versa), we have to manually change each entry.
As a user of TimeSolv for 7 years I would say my experience has been great.
Likely Extremely
Pros: What I like most about the software is its ease of use and remote access capability. TimeSolv gives the attorneys and billing administrator to access the program from anywhere, anytime, and using any device. It has made the billing process more efficient for our firm.
LOVE Timesolv!
Likely Extremely
Pros: The ease and access of generating and sending invoices to clients automatically when their retainer drops below the minimum allowed for their account. Also love the Timer feature so you can accurately account for the time spent on a clients case.
Cons: Sometimes the invoices can be hard to read the way they are organized.
Overall: TimeSolv is a much more efficient way to track your billing and client index. We used to use Excel until using this software and it is way more user-friendly in the sense that you do not need any codes to calculate your formulas! You just put in your time and the minimum retainer amount owed and Timesolv does the work for you!
Customer Service
Likely Extremely
Pros: The support staff is always professional, helpful, and always do as she says.
Cons: The reports cannot be displayed on an iphone and ipad.
Overall: Our experience with Timesolv have been great overall. It is one of the best software that can do online time and expense entry and also generate invoices within Timesolv.
Office Manager
Likely Extremely
Pros: It is very easy to use. Our lawyers love how easy it is to enter time and love the phone app to track time on the fly! They love the calendar summary to see their daily billable totals. We love that it prints out invoices for review very quickly! The customer service is great and timely!
Cons: We would like to have more reporting features and would like reporting that can be done off of custom fields. We would like the interface to NetDocs to be re-established to cut down on the set-up process for new client and matters.
Overall: We love it and would highly recommend it.
Review of Timesolv
Likely Extremely
Pros: It was compatible with Mac and had an ease of use on the front end for the timekeepers.
Cons: It is not always the easiest on the back end, and there is a difficulty in getting historical reports.
Overall: They have always been helpful and responsive when we've had concerns.
We use this to keep track of our time and expenses to bill clients of the law firm.
Comments: Over more than 35 years operating a law practice I have had to implement and use different methods to keep track of time spent working on the client's case and the expenses that were incurred. Out of all of the resources that have been available the most efficient, flexible, and economical has been Time Solve. Occasionally improvements will be made to the program and you may have to take a few minutes to learn them, but if you have the least problem, you can either email or phone Time Solve staff and if you do not immediately speak with a representative you will talk you through the problem, you can be certain that within a few hours or less you will have a response and the help you need. I am not tech savvy and the people who work with me are not much better, but we all have been able to learn to work with Time Solve. Most importantly, it has allowed us to increase our billing time by including time while we are doing the work or if work was not included at the time it was performed, to enter into the client's records and create a draft copy of the bill to review, check for accuracy and then send to the client. Besides, Time Solve will send out the bills for you by either email, U.S. mail, or both if you prefer. It is a great service that has made me a more relaxed attorney because I have solid computer back up if a bill is questioned and the ease of keeping track of my time and which clients demand the most of it.
TimeSolv is Modern
Likely Extremely
Pros: Calendar shows results for week and month.
Available anywhere there is internet access.
I can easily record the calls I take at home.
Cons: There is no work in progress report of unbilled.
Overall: There is a bit of a learning curve -- but TimeSolv gives one-on-one assistance that is outstanding.

Thank you for the great review! As to a WIP report, please go to Reports, Time Entry, and select a Status of 'Approved.' There are many other selection criteria available where you can further filter the information, but I believe this will meet your needs. And remember, you can drop our reports down into various formats; my favorite is CSV to Excel.
Have used this software for 10+ years. Easy to use. Customer service excellent.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Appreciate its ease of use, making training staff a breeze. Also appreciate programmers willingness to make changes to software to provide needed capabilities.
I searched extensively for billing software and TimeSolv met my needs best.
Pros: I have a small consulting firm. My first decision was whether to hire someone to handle billing or find software. I decided to give software a try to keep control over billing and manage costs. After reviewing lots of competing software, I selected TimeSolv because it meets my needs best. I am a consultant with multiple clients for which I have multiple projects for each client. Each project also has multiple tasks. I needed a software that could track time and create invoices by Client - Project - Task. Most competing billing software don't allow invoicing and tracking budgets to occur at the task level. That function sold me on TimeSolv. The program is intuitive and the support service is fantastic. I am sure there are many more functions that I don't even know about that will make my billing more efficient.
Cons: I am still learning. Unfortunately I have not had enough time to learn all the ins and outs. I am sure the software can make me more efficient. One con is that I often have subconsultants that I bill for. With TimeSolv I need to add them as a user, even though I am not entering their time. It would be nice if there was a function to include lump sum pass through sub-consultants.
Awesome program
Likely Extremely
Pros: TimeSolv is really user friendly and easy to navigate.
Cons: There was only one minor feature that I didn't really like, but it was so minor I don't even remember what it was.
Overall: I formerly used TimeSlips and after having numerous tech issues and frustrations with how user unfriendly it was, I decided to make a switch to another billing program. My assistant contacted several companies and after making comparisons and talking to the team, we ended up going with TimeSolv. I am so glad we did! TimeSolv is very user friendly - even for someone like me who is not very tech saavy. The support team is wonderful, and set up was a breeze.
This has, by far, been the easiest billing software for me to learn.
Likely Extremely
Pros: I LOVE the customer support. They are always available and will take any amount of time that is needed to help resolve the issue. I usually speak with Tiann Stout, and she has gone above and beyond to help me figure things out.
Cons: There are some Reports that I find confusing to read, but if I spent more time I would figure them out.
Overall: All our invoices out in a timely manner, with wonderful support.
Likely Extremely
Pros: Honestly the Live Support is so helpful, easy to contact and great at explaining step-by-step instructions.
Cons: Similar to others, the way to do things is not always intuitive. Sometimes involves mutistep process.
Overall: Easy, organized way for multiple people to track time and expenses, generate invoices and update records.
The Live Help Agents never fail. They were super helpful, patient and knowledgeable.
Wonderful Customer Support
Likely Extremely
Pros: TimeSolv is easy to use and offers great features for clients of your firm. We especially enjoy the client payment portal that allows clients to view their live balance and make payments online.
Cons: TImeSolv is always improving, which is great, but sometimes you wish a feature already existed without having to mention it to the support team in hopes of them developing it.
Overall: We love this feature. The invoices break down exactly what our clients want to see - giving descriptions of each time entry and separating the total amount due from the invoice's total.

Think of our tradition of traveling with a "minute of concern" or of traveling in free-Gospel ministry. So wonderful to revive.
For example:
in my travels, presenting
a minute of introduction and approval
even after a stupefaction
"what are we supposed to do with this?"
I'll explain
this ancient custom revived
what pleasure to meet others also
in public ministry
and encourage the same
some places their messages will trouble
though many resist
some find
comfort and rest
some hold fast where they wrestle
inwardly and out
as one clerk endorsed my letter after worship
another Friend announced he'd just received
approval to visit fellow scientists in Siberia
and a voice cried out, "Do you have a minute from Meeting?"
and one was drafted
and approved on the spot
as a start . renewed

ISIS brides are being gifted suicide belts and machine guns in their wedding dowries, new paperwork reveals.
Newly uncovered documents in Libya tell how cash-strapped jihadis are offering their wives-to-be deadly bridal presents as a bizarre sign of their affection.
In one example, Tunisian Abu Mansour married a Nigerian called Miriam but instead of paying a dowry he vowed to pay compensation 'of one suicide belt' in the event of his death or the marriage being dissolved.
Forces allied with Libya's unity government found the documents as they searched buildings seized during a battle with the terror group in the coastal city of Sirte.
The papers belonged to the ISIS 'Judicial and Complaints' department and have now been published on the pro-government forces' Facebook pages.
Many reveal the bizarre marriage contracts and divorce rulings that have been drawn up.
Meanwhile jihadi bride, Fatima from Nigeria was promised a Kalashnikov assault rifle in the case of divorce or if her husband Malian Abu Said, was to die.
Last year, an ISIS marriage certificate was circulated among supporters of the extremist group after the bride included being allowed to carry out a suicide attack as a condition of marriage.
The document states that the woman should be allowed to go on a "martyrdom operation" should ISIS leaders approve her request. It stipulates the husband must not forbid her from undertaking such a mission, and is signed by both parties.
The document was first shared by Elijah Magnier, chief international correspondent for Al-Rai Media, who disclosed that the certificate was not the group officially allowing all 'jihadi brides' to commit suicide missions.

Comarderie, balls of yarn, and sewing machines....do we need anything else?

Day 4: Return to Freeport / Reid's State Park and an oopsie!
We decided that Acadia and Bar Harbor were not for us. Bar Harbor was way too touristy for me and we just planned so poorly for Acadia, so we went back to the Freeport/Bath area. Since we decided we might want to retire up in Bath, both of us liked this idea.
The ride down was just highway which was good in a way because we were both wanting to spend alot of time down in this area.
First stop: Reid State Park
Growing up on Long Island, I love the beach! As an adult, I have traveled a bit and seen beaches all over the world. What I learned from this: I love the beach, it is my serenity, all beaches are different, and all beaches have similarities. Bottom line: I love to sit there and hear the ocean roll back and forth and empty my mind. I complain alot about my mind never stopping....I now stand corrected: the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves helps me empty my brain. Sometimes, I forget this.

This morning was rough. She was again half awake, very agitated and aggressive. The doctors didn't want to sedate her fully as they wanted to do the breathing test again. Because of the agitated state her heart rate was already around 140 and so they called off the breathing test. Around 2ish she was calm enough so I asked if they could do the test and they did. She lasted maybe 30 mins but was very agitated,her heart rate climbed up quickly, she started breathing very quickly and not deep enough to give her enough oxygen. Today's test was worse than yesterday's.
About 2 days ago the doctors started her on a medicine to reduce her delirium and also changed the sedatives to a different one that would not make her fully asleep but also keep her calm. They also said that it'll take a few days to show the effect. Today around 4pm she started communicating a lot more. She started by looking directly when someone spoke to her, next she started nodding yes and no, then she started pointing at things and moving her mouth to say something. This is all wonderful stuff!
Our goal now is to keep her calm and rested so she can do the breathing test tomorrow without getting tired!

Warning: Bad Language
We were out having coffee with Shani, when I noticed a man across the street, looking suspiciously like Frank, and a woman wrapped around him so tightly that made me wonder how his eyes hadn't popped out yet.
"Give me a minute." I excused myself to Shani and headed closer to the window, only to discover that it was him indeed. My heart started pounding erratically and I felt nauseous… I made my way back to the table unsure of what to do or how to react. Shani was giving me an inquiring look, but before she could start with her merciless interrogations, Frank burst into the cafѐ.
I panicked and got up to leave but he caught up with me.
"Aly… wait." He grabbed my arm but I violently backed away and turned to leave. "Aly! Please just listen to me damn it!" I kept walking away from him, but this didn't seem to discourage him. "I need to explain, please. I'm begging you."
"Damn…" I sighed.
"Oh… Aly, baby" he pleaded and he extended his arm to stroke my hair and my face.
" Wow, hey. No touching or closeness. Just say what you have to say and leave me alone."
"Why are you doing this to me?" he asked.
"Excuse me?" I retorted, utterly disturbed by the fact that he was suddenly acting like he was the victim.
"Shit. Listen… Do you know for how long I've been dreaming to just be with you? And to ruin everything before it even starts…fuck. I swear to God Aly. What you saw was simply a mistake. I was trying to tell her to forget about me and she thought that if she grabbed me and kissed me I would change my mind. I was going to end it Alyssa." He stated staring at me full of conviction.
" Oh, please." I muttered and let go of his grab.
Shani approached Frank and threw him a disgusted glance. "You bastard" she snarled as she walked past him.
Once we were out of the cafѐ, Shani questioned me about the incident.
Bowing my head in defeat I admitted my stupidity. "Yeah, we kinda slept together. And I thought… I thought… ahh… I don't know what, exactly. He said he loved me Shani. I can't believe he is so fake!"
"Aaaw… come here darling." she hugged me tight. "There's no trusting a man like him, silly. Ever. Regardless of what he may say. And you should totally have told me about your… 'sleepover' Lou! What kind of friends are we if we don't share the spicy things like this one?"
"I know. But I knew that what I did was stupid and I needed time to figure out where this was going and how to tell you without you giving me a lecture."
Shani wore a melancholic smile. "I might be harsh at times… but if I gave you a lecture, I'd only do it 'cause I love you and I don't want to see you hurt like that." She paused and eyed me steadily for a few seconds. "C'mon, I'll buy you some ice-cream. Family-sized!" she finally said, back to her casual cheerfulness.
When I returned home, I locked myself up in my room and cried while beating myself up for being so naive and falling so easily for a guy like him, resulting in losing him not just as a lover but, more importantly, as the very good friend that he had been throughout the 5 years we knew each other. Well, Egypt excluded. What kind of a friend would ignore a friend in need, because of 'business'?
My mobile rang, effectively putting an end to my flying thoughts.
"Hello Alyssa. I'm not disturbing you, am I?" It was Chris Wilson.
"Not at all, detective. What can I do for you?" I replied, hoping my voice wasn't too rough from all the crying.
"Alyssa, remember when I asked you to do something for me?" he asked.
"Sure… I'm all ears."
"Can we meet sometime tomorrow?" he asked.
"Well, I'll finish school at 2pm and afterwards I'll be free to meet you." I said.
"Could I pick you up from school then?" he asked.
"Sure! See you tomorrow. Goodbye." I hang up the phone and went to the window. As I was looking down the streets, I saw two figures resembling Johan and Vasily but I couldn't really tell from this high.
Two hours later I looked again and the figures were still there which sent chills down my spine. Even if they weren't Johan and Vasily, it was very suspicious that they had been just standing there for two hours, but since I wasn't going to go down there and find out who these people really were or what they were doing, I decided I should probably ignore them and try to get some sleep.
Next morning, Frank was nowhere to be found, which was actually a consolation, as I wouldn't have to face him. However, I knew that living in the same house meant that sooner or later we would have to come to terms with what happened between the two of us instead of playing hide-n-seek, or one of us should start looking for somewhere else to live. And the one would probably have to be Frank, since Shani would never choose Frank over me. But the idea of losing Frank from my life caused a knot to form in my stomach.
'But why isn't he here so early in the morning?' this thought kept bugging me for some reason. 'Oh God, what if he's already gone?!' was my subsequent thought and as soon as this possibility occurred to me, I ran to his room and I knocked. I had no idea what I would say to him if he was inside, but I had to find out whether he had packed any clothes or other belongings.
When I heard no response, I slowly opened the door and I went into the room. I took a look around to see if anything was missing and finally, I opened his closet. Good, loads of clothes here.
Suddenly I heard footsteps and since I had no time to leave, I decided to hide into his closet.
"Frank? Are you in there?" I heard Shani say. Oh, good, at least it's not Frank. Once she leaves I'll get out of here and I won't ever sneak into anywhere ever, ever again!!
Footsteps again. Coming closer and closer… aaand… the closet door opens.
"WHAT THE HELL LOU?!" Shani yelled in surprise.
I stepped out of the closet and slowly straightened my clothes, to buy myself some time to think of my defense.
"Well…… it's not what it seems." I finally explained. Smooth, Alyssa.
"What does it seem to you, Lou? Because to me it makes no sense! Are you suddenly so vigorous about Frank's laundry that you decided to smell all of his clothing and see what needs to be washed?"
"I wasn't smelling anything!!" I snapped, offended by her implications. "I … ugh, I just feared that he might have left."
"Yeah, he left alright. For work!" Shani replied angrily.
"No, I didn't mean… I… I feared he might have left permanently… so I came to check whether he had packed any clothes. Then I heard your footsteps, I panicked and I ended up where you found me." I admitted, while making sure that my eyes were glued to the floor.
"I had no idea you could become so pathetic! Pull yourself together and fucking move on! No need to stalk him like that!!" Shani was exasperated. "Come on, we better not be caught in here." she finally decided.
I immediately grabbed my things and left for work, trying not to think about how ashamed I should be of myself for acting like a teenage lovestruck girl.
