We help your law firm operate the way you’ve always dreamed it could.
We understand that many law firms, attorneys, and lawyers are required to use electronic bill submissions, and in that process, they face a litany of challenges, including: effectively tracking time while managing caseloads; delayed billing; unpaid overhead; complex billing systems.
Furthermore, bills pass through language-recognition systems or third-party providers designed to cut time from legal bills or categorize entries to specific job functions and billing rates. Thus, language becomes critical and is frequently a question of semantics. Unfortunately, the commonly vague and verbose writing style and language of attorneys doesn’t work well with these electronic billing systems. These challenges are a constant, moving target but they are ones we can successfully address with the perfectly concise form of communication we’ve learned is needed for minimizing deductions and the need for appealing reduced payments, along with our streamlined approach to all of your legal billing needs.
Whether you operate within a small, medium, or large law firm, we want to help you regain your ability to handle cases and operate within billable time. We want you to be alleviated of paying salary and benefits to in-house employees who don’t impact your bottom-line in a positive way. We want you to have the ability to outsource your billing and bookkeeping needs to a team of experts who focus solely on the legal billing process (without the need to pay their salary and benefits). Our goal is to help you improve your efficiency and hopefully, your cash-flow.

“In the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Go climb that mountain.” – Jack Kerouac
“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place ? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees.” – Rene Daumal
Set Up Structure
At Foister Billing Solutions, we aim to lead you through a successful billing route. To do that, we like to make sure everyone is on the same page. That’s why our first service to you involves a thorough investigation of your current systems, as well as your goals for outsourced billing services. Setting-up services with Foister Billing Solutions includes a planning meeting where we discuss and examine the following:
- Review the current billing procedures and your goals for outsourced services.
- Review software and data, including a complete setup checklist of time management system settings, rates, last bills completed, bill flow status, access to e‐billing sites, and review bill submission status.
- Discuss document billing procedures.
