Two new apps for attorneys have been released, one assisting with bankruptcy claims and the other a reference app for any lawyer.

Rust Omni, the bankruptcy administrative services division of Rust Consulting Inc., has launched a free app, the Rust Omni bankruptcy app, offering clients, creditors and other interested parties access to case information, court documents, proofs of claim, contact information, claim registers, claim forms and case calendars, among other things.

The app includes access to real-time data, with documents and information added dynamically, and the ability to add contacts and calendar items easily. The app is available for download for iPhone via iTunes, with versions for Android and Windows expected in the coming weeks.
