Top 10 iPhone Apps For Lawyers
Must-Have iPhone Applications for Busy Lawyers
Some of the best apps for lawyers come with the Apple iPhone.
Sure, there are some BlackBerry apps for lawyers that are mighty convenient. But iPhone users insist the following apps take the cake when it comes practice management and social media marketing.
- QuickOffice. The key feature is the ability to edit Word and Spreadsheet documents.
- Cliff Maier reference apps allow you to access tax codes, patent laws, civil and appellate produces.
- DaysFrom. This is a quick and easy way to count days. For example, you can count 20 days, 100 days, etc. either forward or backwards from a specific date.
- Wikipanion. This free app lets you quickly find information on Wikipedia.
- Google Mobile App. Its voice activation feature makes searching on the go fast and convenient.
- Various weather apps. The Weather Channel and AccuWeather apps are great for lawyers who travel.
- A Twitter client. Check out Twitterific or Tweetie for managing one or multiple Twitter accounts. This is ideal for lawyers who do a lot of social media marketing.
- Facebook. Facebook’s iPhone app is a convenient way to keep in touch with friends from college and law school.
- Black’s Law Dictionary. This is a personal favorite for many lawyers, but is more expensive than other iPhone apps - $50.
- NetNewsWire. A great free app for quickly reading RSS feeds to keep up with websites and blogs.
Of course, there are literally thousands of iPhone applications available at the iPhone app marketplace.

I've got the Texas Family Code (inexpensive, but slow to update with legislative changes) and the Constitution (free) on mine. MapItAreaCD is good for identifying an unknown phone area code before you call someone back, and in Texas, it's great to have a Spanish-English dictionary handy. DocsToGo is enough of a document manager for me, and if you travel around Texas, it's nice to have the Southwest Airlines app handy for early flight checkin. If your networking preferences are more professional than personal, LinkedIn's app will get more use than Facebook.
