True value of Jayva’s trusted accounting support to Seiden Family Law
Driving change in family law comes naturally to Sheryl Seiden, who’s become widely known as a force to be reckoned with in America’s legal industry. Jayva Global is Seiden Family Law’s revered technology companion for all-things software usage and financial management compliance.
Jayva has been described by Sheryl as her ‘hero’ following a one-off incident of fraud on her company’s trust account which was fixed and reconciled in an efficient, quick manner, leading her to readily endorse Jayva’s expert consultancy and training services to other attorneys.
The client
Sheryl Seiden’s stellar reputation as a formidable family lawyer championing positive legislative change at the highest level precedes her in family law, New Jersey and, even, USA-wide circles.
Sheryl’s impressive array of professional achievements, industry recognition, notable appearances and activist enterprises firmly position her as a ‘Super Lawyer’ in America; an accolade she’s held since 2015.
One of Sheryl’s most-recent successes was appearing before the Assembly Judiciary on behalf of the New Jersey State Bar Association to support and testify on a bill that she was involved in drafting. This bill will ensure that surviving spouses in divorce proceedings can still receive their share of marital assets if the spouse dies while the case is pending. Read more here.
From campaigning on matrimonial and children law on multiple panels, to lecturing on subjects such as parental alienation and relocation throughout the state of New Jersey, to opining on topical legal issues on the likes of the Jenny McCarthy radio show, Sheryl has earned enviable and justifiable eminence in her fields.
Unable to do justice to Sheryl’s stature amongst the top ranks of the family bar, further details on her record of success can be found on Seiden Family Law’s website. Strengthening Sheryl’s prominence further still, Seiden Family Law itself has been consistently rated as a ‘Best Law Firm’ since 2018.
The challenge faced by Seiden Family Law
Every law office needs technology comprising case management and legal accounting functionality from which to run their business, progress matters and comply with client trust accounts rules. For Seiden Family Law, the software of choice is LEAP Legal Software supported in implementation, configuration and ongoing technical helpdesk capacity by Jayva Global.
As LEAP’s independent certified consultant, Gold Xero Partner and QuickBooks Elite ProAdvisor, Jayva is ideally placed to provide quality consultancy and training services to distinguished law offices using LEAP integrated with either Xero or QuickBooks; Seiden Family Law included.
Even with the most-robust applications installed, errors and infringements can still happen through no fault of the practice concerned. When Seiden Family Law found itself in the throes of an episode of suspicious activity on its trust account, Sheryl turned to her trusted technology partner, Jayva, for resolution.
The solution delivered by Jayva Global
Recognizing the governance of bookkeeping responsibilities by the Rules of Professional Conduct, as soon as Seiden Family Law’s trust account anomaly was identified, Sheryl immediately instructed Jayva to put things right again. Accepting the challenge and proving itself equal to the task, the Jayva team steadfastly and speedily reached settlement, as described by Sheryl:
“Jayva has been our hero. After we had fraud on our trust account, we then had some accounting issues that had to be reconciled. It required significant unraveling of our trust account. Jayva worked tirelessly to reconcile our accounts. Since then, they’ve been our ace in the hole ensuring that our finances are perfectly organized and managed.”

Jayva has an established relationship as Seiden Family Law’s LEAP Legal Software support supplier, and financial management consultancy and training provider. In sum, Jayva’s become an ally that can be relied upon always. It’s a future-proofed partnership that’s built to last.
In her concluding statement, Sheryl explains Jayva’s regular input into the operation of her business and advocates its services to her peers:
“They are very responsive, organized, dedicated and helpful. During our monthly meetings, not only do they highlight all issues, but they evidence a real dedication to their work. They’re very knowledgeable about the software they support and if they run into an obstacle, they know how to obtain the information to overcome it.
