"The Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services came into being with a tight timeline, tiny staff, and limited IT budget. We quickly realized that only a first rate electronic voucher program would allow the Commission to review and process the thousands of vouchers submitted each year by Maine's 450 private assigned counsel. The Justice Works defenderData web-based voucher system provided the solution we needed.

The system allows accurate recording of attorney hours and expenses, access from any platform, and thorough review and prompt payment of vouchers by limited staff. Justice Works tailored the program to our needs on-budget and ahead of schedule. They have continued to refine and improve the system and are always responsive to the needs of the Commission and our attorneys. The Commission made the right choice to go with the Justice Works defenderData voucher system.”

“Our defenderData Voucher system has met our needs and more than met our expectations. It has increased our ability to maintain accurate statistics regarding our cases. We continue to work with Justice Works to expand the system’s utility, regularly updating features and adding new ones.

I recommend the Justice Works systems unreservedly. The staff is patient, articulate, helpful and creative. They have worked with us all the way to make our office run smoothly and the billing process is seamless. It has been 1 ½ years since we began using our defenderData system and we LOVE it.”
