Everything essential, nothing you don’t need
Law practice software that keeps up – without the clutter.
Enterprise practice tools are often expensive and overloaded. Law Office Manager brings exactly the tools a solo lawyer or small team actually uses into WordPress – and keeps your data where it belongs.
Clients
All your clients in one place
Create, edit and search individuals and companies – with contact details, notes and a permanent client ID.
Cases & matters
Every matter with a unique number
Cases with a case number in the AIT-2026-0001 format, type and status. The activity log shows what happened and when.
Legal details
Every case detail where it belongs
Opposing party, opposing counsel, court, docket number and statute of limitations date – structured inside the case instead of scattered across notes.
Time tracking
Log time without the paper trail
Hours per case with an hourly rate and a billable flag. The live timer runs along and saves a time entry when you stop.
Deadlines
Never lose sight of a deadline
Legal deadline types from filing to hearing and appeal, with a dashboard for everything coming up next.
Invoices
Turn tracked time into invoices
Select billable time, add line items and disbursements, apply tax and see the balance – then print or save as PDF.
DATEV
DATEV export for your tax adviser
Export issued invoices as an EXTF booking batch (format 700) – with adviser number, client number, revenue account and tax key.
Documents
Confidential files stay confidential
Files are stored outside the public media library and are only reachable by authorised users through a checked request.
Compliance
Privacy built in
A DPA/AVV template, client data export as JSON and anonymisation tools – without losing the audit trail.
Also included: activity log, CSV export for clients, cases, time entries, deadlines and invoices, plus a fully translatable interface.

Straight from WordPress.org
Always current: the release history.
Version, compatibility and changelog are loaded automatically from the official WordPress plugin directory. Visitors always see the current state – with no manual maintenance.
1.5.6Current version
- New: DATEV export (EXTF Buchungsstapel, format version 700) – export issued invoices as a DATEV-compatible booking batch file for your German tax advisor (Steuerkanzlei) to import into DATEV.
- New: “DATEV export” button on the Invoices screen, visible only when the feature is enabled.
- New: DATEV section on the Settings screen: enable/disable, Beraternummer, Mandantennummer, Erlöskonto (revenue account), Debitor base number, Buchungsschlüssel (tax key), batch label and a booking text template.
- Security: the export link is nonce-protected and the handler is permission-checked against the plugin capability; only issued invoices are included in the batch.
1.5.5
- Renamed the plugin to “Albertoit Law Office Manager” (slug
albertoit-law-office-manager) so the distinctive brand term leads the name. - Moved the invoice print-view styles into a proper enqueued stylesheet.
- Sanitized every field of stored attachment descriptors decoded from the case form, instead of only checking their structure.
- Removed the bundled
.po/.motranslation files; the plugin remains fully internationalized and translation-ready via translate.wordpress.org.
1.5.4
- Added the
ait_lmgmt_loadedandait_lmgmt_admin_menuextension points, so an add-on can boot with the plugin and add its own screens under the same menu. - Added the
ait_lmgmt_is_profilter: the “Learn more about Pro” link is dropped once the Pro add-on reports itself as active. - Clarified this changelog: the paid layer described in the 1.2.x entries below is no longer part of this plugin – it ships as a separate add-on. This free build contains no Pro code, no license field and no gated screens.
1.5.3
- Renamed the admin menu label to “AIT Law Clients”.
1.5.2
- Added a support block (PayPal donation) to the dashboard, settings screen and the admin footer.
- Added Settings and Donate quick links under the plugin name on the Plugins screen.
- Renamed the admin menu to “AIT Clients”.
1.5.1
- Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.1.
- WordPress.org review: resolved all Plugin Check findings (0 errors, 0 warnings).
- Maintenance: removed the now-unnecessary manual
load_plugin_textdomain()call (WordPress auto-loads translations for hosted plugins). - Documentation: trimmed readme tags to the WordPress.org limit of five.

Privacy is not an add-on
Your data stays in your hands.
Law Office Manager is built for confidential client data. There are no public client profiles, no public REST endpoints and no connection to external services.
Your own database
All data lives in your WordPress database – on your server, under your control.
No external services
No third-party APIs, SDKs or tracking scripts. No data is sent to external servers.
Roles & protected files
Case files sit outside the media library. Only users with the plugin capability can access them.
Common questions
Short and to the point.
Where is my data stored?
In your own WordPress database, in tables prefixed with your site’s table prefix plus ait_lmgmt_.
Are attached documents public?
No. Case attachments are stored in a protected folder outside the media library and can only be downloaded by authorised users through a nonce-checked request.
Can I change the case number prefix?
Yes. Go to Law Office → Settings and set a prefix of up to five letters or digits. Case numbers use the PREFIX-YEAR-0001 format.
Does it work with any currency?
Yes. Set the currency code and symbol in Settings. The plugin does not combine currencies.
Ready for a tidier practice?
