Legal Operations
Get Paid Faster, More Consistently
MHSB scopes and configures time tracking, billing, and payment workflows for law firms. This page describes the Lawmatics configuration; MHSB services for Clio, MyCase, and other systems are described on the platform pages.
Billing features are only part of the implementation problem
Time capture, invoice delivery, payment collection, and accounting handoffs need workflow design and QA. Use these MHSB service paths to plan the right rollout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I track time from my phone?
Yes. Our mobile apps for iOS and Android let you start timers, log time entries, and capture expenses on the go. Many attorneys use the mobile app to track time during client calls, court appearances, and travel.
How does trust accounting work?
When you receive a payment that should go to trust, the system automatically deposits it to your trust account and creates a trust ledger entry for that client. As you bill time and expenses, you can transfer funds from trust to your operating account. The system maintains a complete audit trail and helps you stay compliant with state bar rules.
Can clients pay invoices online?
Yes. Lawmatics invoices can carry an online payment option through LMPay, the Lawmatics payment processing service. The payment methods, autopay options, and settlement timing are set by LMPay and stated in the LMPay agreement.
What are the payment processing fees?
Processing fees are set by LMPay and stated in the payment agreement between the firm and Lawmatics; MHSB does not set or publish them. MHSB configures integrated billing so that fees are visible in the reporting the firm uses.
Does this integrate with QuickBooks?
Lawmatics offers a QuickBooks integration, documented in the MHSB integration guide. MHSB configures the sync so invoices and payments flow to QuickBooks without duplicate entry and documents the mapping for the bookkeeper or accountant.
