Software developers have recently unveiled a new kind of app that claims to help people keep track of their professional bills, including legal fees.
One such app is “Viewabill,” which allows clients to monitor their legal fees in real-time. Once the attorney enters the billing information, the client instantly has access to the information via the app. “Viewabill” promotes lawyers productivity and offers clients a way to track legal expenses and prevent surprises. Now that clients can receive instant alerts about each and every charge firms may be forced to start providing more detailed explanations for individual charges.
Do you think apps like “Viewabill” will help reduce the amount of disputes over legal fees or will allowing such client micromanagement simply serve as a distraction for the attorney?
