Our AR specialists follow up on your past-due invoices as an extension of your firm, so your attorneys don’t have to make the awkward calls. If an account still isn’t paid at day 90, you get a dated record of every reminder and contact, documented and ready if you choose collections or small claims.
Flat monthly fee from $519. You keep 100% of what’s collected.
Account record, March statement
ExampleAn example. Names, dates and amounts are made up.
AR specialists follow up in your firm’s name by email, phone and text, from templates you approve. We never discuss the legal matter and never argue a bill. Disputes come straight to you.
Each reminder, call, text and reply is logged with the date and what was said, so you always know where an account stands.
Calls and texts go out between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in your client’s time zone, the hours California’s Rosenthal Act carries over from federal law (Civ. Code § 1788.17).
Any account still open comes back to your firm with a dated record of every reminder and contact. What happens next is your call.
California Lawyers Association Ethics Opinion 2022-1 says client information may be used to collect a fee only as far as reasonably necessary to establish the claim. We never discuss the legal matter, and your record shows what was tried, and when.
California small claims court hears claims up to $6,250 for a business, or $12,500 for an individual (Code Civ. Proc. § 116.220, § 116.221). The invoice, delivery dates and every follow-up are documented and ready if you choose to file.
If a client questions the bill, we stop and send it to you with the full history. California clients can ask for State Bar fee arbitration, and a firm must give written notice of that right before or when it sues a client for fees (Bus. & Prof. Code § 6201).
Whether to refer, file or write off an account is always your firm’s call. ARCounsel is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
