The firm uses Juris, a sophisticated computer system that includes automated billing. It is an integrated software package which records all services performed on a case-by-case basis and integrates the accounts payable, the general ledger and the accounts receivable. The services provided through this program include: (1) documentation of all legal work performed by a partner, an associate or a paralegal, and (2) explanation of all expense disbursements made by the firm on behalf of the client, such as court costs and witness fees. All legal work is tracked by each timekeeper and entered directly into the billing system. Disbursements are recorded in the system simultaneously with the issuance of payment. Monthly reports of all case activity are forwarded to the billing attorney for review and approval prior to mailing to the client. The accounting department can assist with any and all billing information on each individual case. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
