About Needles

 
Chesapeake Interlink, Ltd is a privately held company founded by Burton L. Bank, an entrepreneur who previously launched two other businesses.  Founded in 1982, the company originally existed as a data processing service engaged in professional time-sharing.  It also provided customized software for mail order, retail point-of-sale and organizational mailing list companies.  The product that would eventually become known as “Needles” has always been attorney and customer focused.  In 1984, Chesapeake Interlink, Ltd.’s management team was approached by a group of Personal Injury Attorneys desiring to implement a more efficient law practice.  Luckily, one of the company’s software designers had a law degree!  As a result, the company was able to develop the nation’s first Case Management Software program, and its earliest version was designed to meet the needs of litigation attorneys.   
 
PINS, (Personal Injury Negligence System), was launched in 1985 by Chesapeake Interlink, Ltd. on the then current DOS operating system.  In 1995, the program’s Windows based version, Needles, was released.  The Needles name reflects the system’s expanded usability which allows it to serve any type of case or matter with high levels of user-defined customization. 
 
Chesapeake Interlink has dedicated itself to the legal case management software business by focusing on legal software.  In fact, it has served the legal profession by providing computer technology and business software solutions for over twenty years.  Its software programs have been installed in over 1,500 firms, including installations resulting from clients’ converting data from other case management programs.  Needles’ customers are primarily comprised of attorneys, especially personal injury practices, as well as insurance companies and governmental law agencies. 
 
The Needles customer experience is driven by the company’s continual product improvement process.  The heart of this process is the company’s dedication to customer satisfaction, achieved through yearly UserGroup meetings, extraordinary personal service and support, a Client Advisory Board, respect for their customers and the product love shared by both the company and its clients.
