Due to the awkwardness of billing procedures, many attorneys don't like, and therefore delay, invoicing clients for services rendered. L.A.W.S./Pro has streamlined the billing process. It concentrates on converting accumulated work in process to collected revenue as efficiently as possible by:

Dramatically reducing work in process review time: The L.A.W.S./Pro time entry and calendering system encourages the timely recording of services rendered. A natural byproduct of this efficiency is the ability to review the entered work in process daily. Immediate daily review and correction of 10 to 20 transactions per day takes only several minutes yet dramatically increases the productivity of the review process. The transactions are fresh in the attorneys mind and errors are readily recognized for correction. Daily review virtually eliminates all but a cursory review of the work in process prior to billing. Simplifying the invoicing process: The L.A.W.S./Pro billing selection process is quick and simple. With a push of a button, all matters containing billable time are selected and displayed for billing. With a second click of a button, the invoices may then be printed, posted to the clients accounts receivable, and relieved from work in process. Eliminating manual labor: For increased efficiency, the client invoices may be directly e-mailed to the client eliminating the printing, folding, envelope preparation, postage, labor and the time delay associated with the physical mailing of invoices. In addition to the automatic creation of accounts receivable and the relief of work in process, L.A.W.S./Pro eliminates the need to physically copy and store the law firms copy of the invoice. Electronic images of the actual invoice may automatically be stored in the document repository program eliminating manual filing systems. Encouraging frequent, smaller invoices: The simplicity of L.A.W.S./Pro billing encourages the monthly billing of all matters with work in process balances. Frequent billings of smaller dollar amounts drastically improve collection probabilities. Clients are more likely to be able to pay six individual monthly invoices of $500 each rather than paying a single large invoice for $3,000.
