What it is
Account Legal is online trust accounting software for lawyers and other professionals who manage escrow accounts. It provides monthly account statements for reconciliation and individual balance reports for quarterly reconciliation. Users can set report date ranges, edit reports, and create printable PDF statements. Selecting a client displays the client ledger and current balance, which can be checked before writing a check. The software prints withdrawal checks on pre-printed checks purchased from a bank, including date, payee, amount, memo, amount in words, and ledger. It can also print deposit receipts and supports paperless use. Alerts help identify possible discrepancies and negative client balances. The browser-based service runs without installation or manual updates and supports computer and mobile access. Account Legal lists a 30-day trial and plans at $19.94 per month, $89.73 once for six months, or $119.64 once for twelve months; there is no free plan. The terms allow file hosting to be disabled or throttled if bandwidth exceeds 5 gigabytes per month or significantly exceeds other users’ average use.
