John Heckman

    John Heckman has worked in the legal industry for almost 30 years. He formed Heckman Consulting, LLP, in 1997 after several years with Kraft Kennedy & Lesser, a premier systems integrator for the U.S. legal market. Prior to that, he worked in technical support at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy in New York. While at Milbank, he was a member of the software evaluation committee.

     Prior to entering the legal field, John received his PhD in Comparative Literature from Cornell University and taught for several years at Brandeis and Boston Universities.

     John is a Consultant primarily for Worldox document management. He is a member  of the Worldox "Inner Circle," composed of what Worldox considers to be its senior consultants. In the past, he has been a Certified Consultant and Trainer for Amicus Attorney. He was a Certified Consultant for PClaw (1998-2007) and Time Matters (2001-2007). 

     The "Tips & Tricks" section of the World Software web site, www.worldox.com, states "We'd like to thank John Heckman of Heckman Consulting for these tips & tricks, and invite you to visit his blog, Does It Compute?, for even more. While you're there, don't forget to download his superb Worldox GX Cheat Sheet, too."

    Heckman Consulting has assisted numerous firms in assessing their technology needs, establishing technology plans and budgets. In his view, the selection of particular software must be seen as a function of the firm's real and perceived needs. Software selection is the end of the process, not the beginning.

    He has contributed Technofeatures and a SmallLaw column on the Technolawyer listserv. His articles have been reprinted in Law Office Computing, the ABA's Law Practice Today, Bar Association journals in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, as well as in  Legal Times (Washington D.C.), the Legal Intelligencer, The Lawyer's PC , Peer to Peer (Quarterly Newsletter of LawNet), and on various web sites such as law.com and lexisone.com.
