## Overview

LOMS is a law-office operations platform with separate client, staff, and attorney/admin portals. A client can sign in, view matters and documents, and request an appointment; staff manage intake and operational records, while attorneys/admins review appointments and log time. The README also describes broader workflow, conflict-checking, calendar, and integration capabilities that are not established by the sampled implementation, so they are not shown as implemented flows. Edges reflect shown imports, database access, or documented behavior; unsampled relationships are omitted.

Main entry points: [`Admin/index.php`](https://github.com/aljonjaymatas-code/law-office-management-system/blob/main/Admin/index.php) (Attorney dashboard), [`Client/_bootstrap.php`](https://github.com/aljonjaymatas-code/law-office-management-system/blob/main/Client/_bootstrap.php) (Client access), [`Client/index.php`](https://github.com/aljonjaymatas-code/law-office-management-system/blob/main/Client/index.php) (Client portal), [`config/db.php`](https://github.com/aljonjaymatas-code/law-office-management-system/blob/main/config/db.php) (SQL connection)
