Product Description
Getting paid for work performed is critical in maintaining a successful law practice. However, doing so without liability exposure or licensing issues can be challenging— particularly so in the family law context. How do you write fee agreements to minimize the challenge of collecting your fees? When and how can you get attorney’s fees while a case is pending? How do you collect fees when a client changes attorneys and there is an unpaid bill? Is it ever a good idea to sue a client for legal fees? How and when can an attorney file an attorney’s lien? What ethical issues are in play when there is a dispute about the fees? How do you protect yourself when someone other than the client is paying the bill?
This seminar provides practitioners with helpful advice on how to manage representation of clients in a manner that maximizes the chances of being paid without triggering liability and ethical concerns. Learn the nuts and bolts of collecting and securing legal fees in your family law practice from a panel of experienced practitioners. Hear what works and, perhaps most importantly, what doesn’t work!
