Family Law

Secure Document Exchange

You can use Actionstep’s built-in secure portal to share your documents with your clients. You can selectively enable client access on a document-by-document basis. When a client is granted access to a matter they will receive an email with a link to login. Once they have set a password they will be able to see the documents you have granted them access to. An audit trail is maintained of all access to the documents. This is a great way to give your clients secure access to their documents without having them phoning your firm each time they need a copy.
