Client Information
Full client information is recorded – as well as family and friends, attorneys, and various other professional contacts involved in the case. Any member of your team looking at the file onscreen can see instantly the supervision level.
Decisions
A record is maintained of key decisions that are made throughout the case. Reports of these key decisions are easily generated in various formats.The dates of the key decisions, and the sequence in which they were taken, can easily be tracked.
It is fundamental in any case review to know (and to have recorded) the specific Decision Taker of each event.
Regular Payments
Maintaining and managing an accurate and up to date record of payments made and receipts of incoming money is not always straightforward.
It can easily become the bane of the work for an attorney actively managing a client’s affairs – particularly without a system that enables this to be done with relative ease.
Benefits
State Benefits can be recorded as well as criminal injuries compensation and civil damages, plus other private income.
For each benefit received, a note of the payer is made, and the recipient, whether payment is mandated to a family member or other party, with the date of award and frequency of payments.
Budgets
The Budgets feature in Isokon enables you to predict monthly income and expenditure. Budget requirements can easily be forecast. The case can therefore be conducted in a planned, smooth and orderly manner.
This is one of the features of Isokon Power of Attorney that enables lesser qualified members of the team to perform much of the case work – under the supervision of an attorney.
