Judicial Expenses

Clearly Separate Client Expenses from the Firm’s Fees and Accounts

The firm may pay fees or judicial expenses on behalf of the client, but these are not fees or revenue for the firm; they are amounts that must be settled and recovered separately. When mixed with general accounts, it becomes difficult to know the actual balance for each client or case.

LAWMAX’s Judicial Expenses Module provides a separate path for recording expenses and linking them to cases, attaching supporting evidence, and tracking advance amounts, settlements, and current balances, helping preserve transparency in the financial relationship between the firm and the client.
