What are some proper billing practices that can help reduce the potential for bar complaints against you? In this episode, I share several best practices when it comes to billing clients for work performed.
What I Cover In this Episode:
- Make sure what’s reflected in your retainer agreement is also reflected in your billing practices
- Bill early and bill often
- Why you should describe the work you’re performing even if you’re billing on a flat fee basis instead of hourly
- Reconcile your trust account at least once a month
- Should the bills you send out include some sort of update on the case?
- What method of client communication will increase their chances of receiving and opening their bills?
- Keep copies of the bills you send to the clients
