Hourly and flat-fee legal bills

Law firm invoicing software

Law firm invoicing software for solo attorneys and small practices. Hours logged on a case become invoice lines, flat-fee matters and filing costs you advanced are billed beside them, and clients pay earned fees online, while money that belongs in trust stays in your trust account.

Example with sample data

Hours logged per case

Attorneys and associates log time on the case with a short description. Invoice the case, and those entries become lines priced at each person's rate, ready to edit before they go out.

Time tracking

Flat fees and costs advanced

A will package or an uncontested divorce can bill at a flat fee. Filing fees, service of process and records you paid for go on the case as expenses and are billed back as lines.

Job expenses

No trust accounting

Payments land in your Stripe operating account. Advance fees and retainers your bar treats as client money belong in your IOLTA account, so bill through Smarfle only what is earned.

Payments

Several cases, one client

A business client with three open matters can get one invoice covering all three, and their statement shows every invoice, payment and the open balance.
