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 window Illinois’s Collection Agency Act (205 ILCS 740/9.2) and federal rules treat as convenient.
Any account still open comes back to your firm with a dated record of every reminder and contact. What happens next is your call.
Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6(b)(5) lets a lawyer reveal client information only as reasonably necessary to establish a claim against a client, such as an unpaid fee. We never discuss the legal matter, and your record shows what was tried, and when.
In Illinois, a small claim is one for $10,000 or less (Ill. S. Ct. R. 281). 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, so you can talk it through, or use the Chicago Bar Association’s fee dispute program, open to attorneys practicing in Illinois, if both sides agree.
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.
Nothing is sent before it’s due.
An email in your firm’s name with a copy of the invoice and your payment link.
Plenty of clients simply missed the first one.

From $519 a month, flat. 12-month plan, billed monthly, plus a one-time $625 setup fee. No percentage, ever. Your firm keeps 100% of what’s collected. Full pricing.
