Although being paid for what we do is critical to the survival in this profession, this matter is often overlooked as we manage the law practices. Poor billing practices can lead to trouble. Attorneys who are careless in this area risk financial difficulty, civil suits, and problems with the BBO. Knowing the rules regarding billing and having good habits and practices is critically important for all private attorneys.
This program addresses how to maximize the chances of being paid for what we do while complying with the Rules of Professional Conduct and avoiding client litigation.
