Legal Ease Bookkeeping, LLC’s Post

Yes, lawyers can ethically charge late fees, but it’s essential to follow proper procedures. This strategy can be an excellent way to promote on-time payments and ensure health cash flow, but attorneys who plan to charge late fees for past due accounts should make sure to: ✔️ Disclose the policy in writing up front ✔️ Explain your policy to the client during onboarding ✔️ Avoid describing the late fee as a "penalty" as this is prohibited by some state boards. If you need help implementing ethical billing practices, working with a specialized bookkeeper for attorneys can be a big help!
