About This Course
High volume practices, particularly those who accept smaller, flat fees for cases, will often choose to avoid depositing upfront fees into their trust accounts. Intended as a primer for newer practitioners, this CLE course will cover the basics if using trust accounts for legal fees and explain when and how unearned fees can be deposited into trust account when paid upfront. The course will explain the pros and cons of this practice and where to find additional rules and applicable information regarding legal fees and trust accounting.
