FAQ
Does this support contingency billing?
Yes. Add a contingency matter with the agreed percentage. The agent calculates the fee on settlement and drafts the invoice with cost reimbursements separated.
Can the agent block-bill check entries before send?
Yes. The agent flags block-billed entries (over an hour with a single description) so you can split them before send.
What plan supports a law firm?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles solos. Business ($40/mo) for firms with audit and confidentiality controls.
