Monthly legal bills and receivables

Law firm billing software

Law firm billing software for small practices that bill every month. Hours logged on each case go out on the monthly bill, clients on a subscription legal plan pay a flat fee through your portal, and earned fees left unpaid are reminded for you, while trust money stays in your IOLTA account.

Attorney billing from logged hours

At month end, invoice each open case. The billable hours logged by attorneys and paralegals arrive as lines at each person's bill rate with their descriptions, ready to review before the bill goes to the client.

Time tracking

Subscription legal plans

Small businesses that want counsel on call can join a flat monthly plan online, renewing by card, while work outside the plan is billed separately.

Recurring plans

Earned fees only

Payments go to your operating account through Stripe. Client funds your bar requires in trust belong in your IOLTA account, so bill through Smarfle only fees already earned.

Reminders on unpaid legal bills

An unpaid bill gets automatic follow-ups once its due date passes, keeping the attorney out of the collections conversation.

Automatic emails

Statements per client

Each client's statement lists every bill and payment across their cases, and aging totals reveal which matters have unpaid fees past 60 days.
