For divorce clients, you can use it to see if the terms of the property settlement and support orders are being complied with by the other ex-spouse. If you do estate planning as well use it to talk about the needs to update their estate plan. It's a little more difficult for criminal clients, but think about what they might need and use this to offer additional services or to refer them to someone that does offer the services they might need.
