Legal Billing Questions, Answered
Can I bill hourly against a matter?
Yes. Log time entries and bring them onto an invoice as line items with your hourly rate. Add a custom field for matter number or case reference so each invoice ties clearly back to the file it belongs to.
How do I show a retainer drawdown on an invoice?
Record the retainer already received on the invoice and the balance due reflects the remainder. The client sees fees incurred, the amount applied from the retainer, and what is still owed on a single document.
Can I itemize disbursements separately from fees?
Add disbursements — filing fees, courier, search fees — as their own line items with a unit of 'ea'. Because you control the description and rate on every line, fees and outlays read clearly as separate categories on the PDF.
Can clients see their invoices without emailing me?
Yes. The client portal lets a client sign in to view the invoices you have issued them and to sign contracts you send. That cuts down on 'can you resend that invoice' emails to your assistant.
Does it support engagement letters?
You can create a contract, send it to the client, and collect their signature through the portal. The signed contract stays attached to that client alongside their invoice history.
