Other News

We would also like to make you aware of an important and timely seminar on the UCC's impact on foreclosure defense, presented by Max Gardner. Max was named Outstanding Consumer Lawyer by NACBA and was recognized as one of the “Super Lawyers” of North Carolina. The seminar will take place at two different venues, the first on September 17 & 18 in the Los Angeles area and the second on September 24 & 25 in New York City.

Foreclosure defense has become a primary focus of consumer bankruptcy attorneys and Max Gardner's Boot Camps are the premiere source of training for consumer bankruptcy attorneys.

Max will be joined by former industry insiders and experts for an in-depth look into the UCC's role in residential mortgage backed securities. Attacking the secured status of the Trustee of residential mortgage backed securitized trusts and challenging the mortgage servicer's standing to foreclose is the best way to defend the foreclosure. In order to go on the offensive, you must have a thorough understanding of how the UCC effects the securitization process.

We hope that you will take advantage of this special opportunity to attend. Please click here to visit Max Gardner's Boot Camp description page for more details and to register.

Law Office Computing Bankruptcy Software Review

Finally, what EZ-Filing, Inc. clients have known for years: Best Case® "...lacks functionality for intuitive entry..." (according to Law Office Computing, Means Test and Reform review by Alexander Lubarsky, legal technology consultant. February/March 2006 issue)

In the February/March 2006 issue of Law Office Computing, EZ-Filing® was matched up against Best Case® for a review on how each product assisted the attorney in post-BAPCPA bankruptcy case filings. Mr. Lubarsky rated EZ-Filing® as "Easy...intuitive and simple to use." He had this to say about our competitor Best Case®: "Best Case doesn't seem to have any way to enter data directly from a pay stub or to direct the system to multiply pay stub figures by a number of identical pay stubs—a useful feature unique to EZ-Filing."

Mr. Lubarsky continues: "I don't feel I did these programs justice because I only focused on a small portion of the features...". And though we appreciate Mr. Lubarsky's kind words, it is the opinion of EZ-Filing, Inc. that to make a bankruptcy software selection based on such a limited review is tantamount to purchasing a new car because you're fond of the hubcaps. We agree with Mr. Lubarsky's determination that our competitor's product "lacks functionality" and disagree that they are "full-featured and robust". By Mr. Lubarsky's own admission that he focused on only a small portion of the features in either product would preclude the results of the report form being taken as a definitive head-to-head comparison.

EZ-Filing recommends you make your own decision regarding something as important to your practice as bankruptcy software. You can download a demonstration copy of our product by clicking here. Read some of our client testimonials here. We're confident you'll agree there isn't a better bankruptcy-forms-preparation software available anywhere, at any price!
