Legal Time and Billing Software for Law Firms
Capture time, add flat fees, manage retainers, create invoices, and collect payments without separating billing from the matter.
We confirm available workflow scope, onboarding, and any provider requirements before a firm begins rollout.
Legal time and billing software must do more than run a timer. Law firms need to track billable work, fixed-fee services, retainers, expenses, trust balances, invoice reminders, payment plans, and collections without losing the matter context.
Attorney Core keeps billing connected to the client and matter record. Attorneys can track time when work is hourly, add fixed-fee items when the engagement is not hourly, invoice from the matter, and review payment history without switching systems.
The result is a billing workflow that works for modern law firms: hourly matters, flat-fee matters, contingency matters, retainers, and mixed arrangements can live inside the same platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Attorney Core support flat-fee billing?
Yes. Attorney Core supports flat-fee items alongside hourly time, expenses, retainers, contingency, and hybrid billing arrangements.
Can I create payment plans?
Yes. Firms can create payment plans and track outstanding amounts, overdue installments, and collected revenue from the billing workflow.
Is this only for solo attorneys?
No. Attorney Core works for solo attorneys and small or growing U.S. law firms that need a connected time, billing, matter, and payment workflow.
How hard is it to migrate from another legal software platform?
For most small firms, the key is to migrate active workflows first: clients, matters, documents, billing status, deadlines, and staff ownership. Attorney Core is positioned for guided adoption rather than a long enterprise rollout.
Does it include trust accounting?
Starter includes core billing records. Growth and higher plans add trust and retainer tracking. These tools assist reconciliation but do not constitute legal, accounting, or compliance advice.
Does client intake flow into the matter without duplicate entry?
Yes. Attorney Core is designed so structured intake data can support conflict checks, client conversion, matter setup, and follow-up workflows without forcing staff to retype the same facts across different tools.
Can clients access their cases?
The client portal supports authorized access to shared case information. Confirm available documents, updates, billing views, communication, and any provider-dependent payments in the proposed plan and deployment.
Is it available as a desktop app?
Yes. Attorney Core runs in any web browser and is also available as a Windows desktop app for attorneys who prefer desktop software.
