how much we appreciated your services in assessing the information

“On behalf of the firm and
the Strategic Technology Planning Committee, I’d like
to personally thank you for your efforts on our major technology
upgrade initiative. Your unique knowledge of the legal profession
and how law offices can better utilize computer technology
was instrumental in our project. The ability to listen to
the users and understand their specific needs while maintaining
a focus on what was in the best interest of the firm is
not often found in consultants. Your total independence
from vendor ties and complete objectivity provided us with
a focused, balanced and well thought out plan for implementation,
which I know will serve the firm well for years to come.”
Dean Turner, Executive Director
Lowndes Drosdick Doster Kantor & Reed, P.A.
“The work you performed
recently for The Florida Bar’s Special Technology
Advisory Committee was outstanding! It has proven to be
right on target. While we recognize we’ve been playing
‘catch up’ in our deployment of technology,
the timing of your study indeed was propitious.”
Park Trammell, Director-Communications Division
The Florida Bar
“I would like to thank you
for your extremely valuable input early on in this project.
I doubt our installation would have gone as painlessly as
it has without your insight and oversight. Although we have
talented people in our computer operations department, we
found it very important to have you as part of the process
to advise us of the trends in law office management vis
a vis hardware and software. Having you as our consultant
was also a great help when it came to choose between vendors.
You guided us in cutting through the puffery and exaggerated
claims that are sometimes made by a vendor seeking to obtain
a contract.
Carolina A. Lombardi, Directing Attorney
Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc.
“On behalf of the Office
of the General Counsel, I wish to thank you for your extensive
work in analyzing our office’s hardware and software
computing needs and issuing your recommendations. The report
was accurate, creative and practical, particularly considering
the budgetary limitations we face. This may be your style
on every project, but my view is that you went beyond the
call of duty in taking the significant amounts of time with
each member of my staff, carefully listening to their concerns,
and developing a real understanding of the needs of this
office before issuing your recommendations.”
Pamela J. Bernard, General Counsel
University of Florida
“Your audit of our current
technology condition and your thoughts on where we should
be heading have been, and will continue to be, most useful
to us. You initiation of the process of identifying a systems
integrator was also of value to us. In my judgement, our
engagement was very successful.”
Dennis W. Kerrigan, Executive Director
Kennedy Covington Lobdell & Hichman, L.L.P.
“Over the last year we have
retained Andy Adkins to assist this office with our long
term planning with regard to computer services. He assisted
us with three projects: (1) A workflow analysis for the
Civil, Criminal, and Traffic Infraction Departments; (2)
Development of the goal of a totally integrated, computerized
court management system; and, (3) A review of the potential
use of imaging technology in the Clerk’s office, review
of vendor proposals, and selection of an imaging vendor
of choice. Mr. Adkins’ survey of this office has proven
to be an important and useful management tool. I have found
Mr. Adkins to conduct himself professionally and he is easy
to work with.”
Buddy Irby, Clerk of the Circuit Court
Alachua County, Florida
“On behalf of the entire
firm, I wanted to confirm in writing our appreciation for
the terrific service you have consistently provided us over
the past five years. Your expert guidance in the selection
of hardware, software and networking systems has been invaluable.
More importantly, your accessibility and willingness to
listen to, and answer, the many question we computer illiterates
come up with has been most appreciated.”
John D. Jopling
Dell, Graham, Willcox, Barber, Jopling, Comfort, Schwait
and Gershaw, P.A.
“Please accept my sincere
thanks for your patience, understanding and technical expertise
in bringing our law firm current with the computer age.
You successfully worked through the added challenge of having
two senior partners in this law firm somewhat intimidated
and slow to react to the demands of our current technology
environment.”
Thomas M. Donahoo, Managing Partner
Donahoo, Ball, McMenamy & Johnson, P.A.
