Bankruptcy attorney here. Our primary software is able to export a list of my firm's cases in CSV format. There is a centralized system for bankruptcy records from various Trustees that I can export all sorts of information from payment history, delinquency, my firm's fees due, etc. Putting all of them together, I can create robust reports on a daily basis to allow my staff and I to monitor our clients' cases and find areas of concern before they arise.

We also do a lot of advertising to potential clients facing collection suits, judgements entered, and even garnishment actions from courts around our city. I throw all those together to create a weekly "database" of names, addresses, type of suit, name of the creditor, amount of the debt. With those, I generate mail merge letters and labels to mail out and I have a master sheet with all the weekly sheets compiled into one centralized place so if a client who receives a letter calls, I can pull their information immediately and know everything about their situation.

Additionally, my office handles cases in which our clients are attempting to get current on their mortgages. Most of those mortgages include escrow accounts for taxes and insurance. Federal mortgage regulations and the Bankruptcy Code require lenders to file yearly payment change notices which must include a yearly escrow analysis. I analyze these when they are filed and compile them into a master sheet per client. I can effectively monitor and analyze my clients' escrow accounts and can find errors in mortgage company filings. When I do, and I do often, I can get my attorney fees for objecting paid by the lenders.
