Time Entry and Billing Support

Dedicated virtual assistants who manage time entry, invoice preparation, and billing follow up for your law firm.

Revenue leakage from unbilled time is one of the biggest financial challenges law firms face. Attorneys who are busy with client work often delay entering their time, resulting in lost hours and reduced collections. DocketHire provides virtual billing assistants who ensure time is captured accurately, invoices are prepared promptly, and accounts receivable are followed up on consistently. Our staff help your firm bill more, collect faster, and maintain healthier cash flow.

Our billing assistants work within your practice management and accounting systems to keep your financial operations running smoothly. They enter time from attorney notes, calendar entries, and dictation. They review pre bills for accuracy and completeness, apply client billing guidelines, prepare final invoices, and distribute them electronically or by mail. For firms with trust accounts, they track IOLTA balances and ensure compliance with trust accounting rules.

Consistent billing practices directly impact your bottom line. When invoices go out on time and collections are followed up on promptly, firms see measurable improvements in realization and collection rates. DocketHire assistants send payment reminders, track outstanding balances, and generate aging reports that give firm management visibility into financial performance. Whether your firm bills hourly, flat fee, or contingency, we tailor our support to your billing model.
