Davis, Black, Freeman, an Anchorage firm, began searching for a way to handle information, and, after talking with other firms, discovered LaserFiche Document Imaging.

"We looked into buying a LaserFiche system but didn't want to invest the money without being sure it would have the desired results," said Heather Copelin, office administrator. "Downtown Legal came in, scanned all of our case histories for us, and also made them available on the web at a lower price than buying the whole system. It's given us the ability to work with the LaserFiche software and see first-hand how great it is and how fast you can search."

Hughes, Thorsness, Howell, Huddleston & Bauman, LLC, another Anchorage firm, is planning to use the software to manage over 250,000 documents for a petroleum case that has been going on for a decade.

"We're dealing with an appeal and would like to scan in everything from the previous case," said B.J. Baker, a paralegal for the firm. "I for one don't want to have to go over every document from the last trial one by one. Using the online repository, outside experts can review documents without us delivering over a dozen banker's boxes."
