Carolyn Elefant (MyShingle.com) has a recording on her website for solo lawyers. When she lists web sites that offer free services for solo lawyers and small law firms, it is amazing.  This old dog learned a few new tricks.

Dropbox.com and box.net are simple storage places for documents on the web.  Simple to use, and simple to retrieve documents, even if away from your computer.

Freeconferencecall.com gives you a telephone number and a PIN, and you make free conference calls.

Wufoo.com allows you to create client comment forms and a host of other forms.

Anymeeting.com, formerly Freebinar, allows one to conduct free seminars, sharing your computer screen with students.

Openoffice.org provides a word processing program.

Godaddy provides and e-mail address with your name, instead of Yahoo or G-mail

FreelanceSwitch.com offers an online calculator to help set fees.

Google Scholar allows legal research (and other kinds of research).

Fastcase  is dedicated to online legal research.

Toggl helps track time.

Freshbooks.com will create your legal billing.

Zoho Projects and Google Apps offer services to help set up and office and get it going.

Most of the services are free, several have a minimal expense, and all offer expanded services for a fee.  None of these programs were invented when I started practicing law, nor even when the firm began to use computers, but they are a part of my life now and are great!
