My 64 gig WiFi and 3G iPad arrived on Friday. I had it delivered to another office where I knew someone could sign for it. When I opened the package in the lobby, the lawyer – an ex-Marine with 25 years of trial experience – looked at it and asked, “what’s that?” <\/p>\n
He was unconvinced that it had any value, and I didn’t take the time to explain it to him.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to Monday afternoon, where the two of us were sitting for nearly two hours waiting for our case to be called. He asked me whether I knew the potential sentence for a class of crime. I said I didn’t, but quickly showed opened the sentencing chart I had loaded onto the iPad. <\/p>\n
Then he got interested, so I showed him how all my clients files are synched onto the device, how I have started to create a presentation for potential DWI clients that I can show to them when I sit down with them in their homes for the initial consultation, and how I am currently putting together a Probation Violation presentation together replete with video of the family from another state pleading for leniency.<\/p>\n
That got him interested. Obviously this only scratches the surface of what can be done, but his next questions were: How much is it, will it work with Windows, and could I help him set his up?<\/p>\n
Aside from downloading some Apps and putting client flies and certain legal documents on the device, I’ve been too busy to play with it. Will give it a review later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
