Trust Accounting Common Mistakes & Best Practices
What’s Inside?
Managing your trust account can be one of the most challenging and confusing aspects of practicing law. Not only are you worried about the general responsibility that accompanies a trust account, but you must also constantly ensure that your office practices comply with the rules and regulations of your state. Unfortunately, many attorneys consistently utilize or manage client trust accounts incorrectly.
Your trust account is a key part of your legal practice. It not only provides protection for your client’s funds and property, but it also assures that your fee will be available when earned. For the new attorney, setting up a trust account can be stressful, especially as you try to navigate the numerous rules and regulations of your jurisdiction.

Tom Kirkendall
Law Office of Tom Kirkendall
I held off switching to TimeSolv for a long time because I was familiar and comfortable with Timeslips, although I was not enthralled with it. When I finally made the move, in less than a week, I was pleased to be set up and fully ready to use TimeSolv with 17 years of Timeslips data converted into the program. Customer service is excellent and the program is easy to use. I wish I had made the switch years ago. Complacency with an inferior product often delays progress.

Finocchiaro & Associates, PC
For years I’ve been frustrated with the rigidity of Timeslips, with its pc-only based system still requiring in-office server, non-intuitive drop down lists and hard to customize reporting. TimeSolv solves for all of that in a web-based, easily migrated and intuitive system. A beautiful tether-cutting solution and presents far better dashboard information from the first page. Personal one-on-one, direct, consistent customer service – meaning your own dedicated service professional directly accessible and quickly responsive eliminated any transitional resistance. Seamless transition without any billing cycle delay.

The Law Firm of George K. Miller, Jr., Esq.
It is a simple solution to attorney billing for small law firm to track their time spent on files. Especially for a firm that uses another program for case management. There are so many excessive billing program out there that cost a fortune and you only end up using the billing portion of it. TimeSolv has the AWESOME feature call Time Sync which allows you to capture time and expenses as you are working on the computer. No more tedious time sheets! I love the feature and it works exceptionally well with dual monitors where you can keep it in the fore front while you work.
