Ron & Rebecca: How to Collect Without Conflict and Get Paid on Time

Most lawyers are working late, billing hard—and silently bleeding cash in accounts receivable. In this episode, Ron and Rebecca break down exactly how to tighten up AR, collect without conflict, and stop leaving money on the table. • What is the single most important number a law firm should track—and why isn't it revenue or billable hours? • What is "lockup," and how does it secretly trap thousands of dollars of your firm's cash in limbo? • Why does waiting even a single week to send an invoice radically slash your chances of ever getting paid? • How can enforcing a strict late fee policy actually "cure" chronic late-paying clients? • When a client fails to pay their bill, why is it often an intake mistake rather than a collection issue? • How should law firms structure their retainer replenishment to ensure they never work for free? • What simple technology shift allows small and solo firms to get paid more than twice as fast? • How can you approach a difficult collections conversation without ruining the client relationship? • Why is suing a client for unpaid fees often a trap that leads to expensive malpractice counterclaims? • What is the mindset shift lawyers need to have when it comes to demanding the money they’ve earned? That’s all for today!
