Like many lawyers, I was skeptical of the value of bitcoin and other digital currencies. Basing the item's value on people giving it a value seemed risky, fleeting, and trendy. Fast forward around ten years, and I am excited about the future of blockchain.

Whenever I learn about a tool I want in my legal practice, I immediately look for an open-source alternative. Tools for lawyers tend to be expensive (dare I say, overpriced?). Understandably, you might think a specialized tool is required to manage your law practice.

As a law firm owner, I feel the extra pressure of securing my clients' data when picking software solutions. I don't expect perfection but convenience, reliability, and confidentiality are vital.
