I don't follow the example given "the system flagged a line item where a professional billed a half hour for mailing." - that doesn't sound like an outlier to me, possibly the smallest billable time is half hour, or maybe the one page mailing had other complexities, like needed to be over-night delivery, required trip to the PO etc etc. I would need to see the system detect something more demonstrative of being useful.
- nwenzel 13y agoThe actual example was .5 hours to prepare a 1-page form and .5 hours to mail the form. It probably did require return receipt. That's one expensive stamp. The lawyer probably didn't intend to bill that much, but filing out a time card at the end of the week results in problems like this. I'd love to see law firms publish total hours billed by lawyer. I think that would solve a lot of over-billing if they did.
