As a high-achieving litigator for over 16 years, Molly Kremer, Esq., The Billing Coach, has experienced all of the billing related stressors and struggles that most attorneys go through as they navigate their firm's billable hour requirements and billing deadlines.
She struggled with endlessly procrastinating her billing, forgetting certain billable tasks, underbilling some of her time, and feeling tempted to pad her billing at the end of the day/week/month - to make up for these bad billing habits.
But after becoming a certified life coach in 2021, Molly began to notice real, tangible billing results simply by applying some of the coaching tools and mindset work to her billing habits.
A big part of the change was finally understanding the real reasons behind all of her unhelpful billing beliefs that were keeping her stuck in bad billing cycles and how she could retrain her brain to think in billing models that actually helped her more consistently and contemporaneously track her time.
Most importantly, she discovered how to eliminate any hint of bill padding or inflation through ethical, contemporaneous timekeeping practices that actually increase billable time capture while building unshakeable client trust.
And almost immediately, she not only saw significant increases in the amount of time she billed, but she also dropped the stress and anxiety she was having around having to bill her time.
It was then that she realized that she held the key to stress-free timekeeping and created her unique billing coaching programs and Billing Workshop that helps attorneys overcome their specific billing struggles, eliminate their billing-related stress, and finally become effortless timekeepers.
In this Billing Workshop, Molly will teach your attorneys her unique billing strategies and processes - including her Billing Models that will not only help your attorneys understand why they struggle with their daily timekeeping requirements, but also, how to permanently better their billing habits while meeting the transparency and accuracy standards demanded by today's legal clients.

Why This Workshop Matters Now More Than Ever
Your clients - adjusters, in-house counsel, and corporate legal departments - are increasingly sophisticated about billing practices. They're looking for red flags that include:
❌ Vague narratives like "Research case law" or "Drafted correspondence" without specifics
❌ Block billing that lumps multiple tasks into one entry, making evaluation impossible
❌ Time reconstruction patterns showing perfectly rounded entries suggesting after-the-fact recording
❌ Efficiency questions about why routine tasks take excessive time
❌ Surprise bills without prior communication or strategic context
This workshop specifically addresses these client concerns by teaching attorneys to create real-time, accurate billing that tells the story of their legal work - showing clients exactly how their money is advancing their cases and demonstrating the efficiency that keeps them coming back.
Molly will teach your attorneys her unique billing strategies and processes.

Here's what most attorneys don't realize: When you procrastinate time entry and try to reconstruct your day, week, or month later, you're not just risking lost revenue - you're risking violations of ABA Model Rule 1.5(a) (Reasonable Fees) and Rule 8.4(c) (Professional Misconduct involving dishonesty or misrepresentation).
The solution isn't to work longer hours or pad time entries to make up for poor tracking - it's to develop contemporaneous timekeeping habits that capture the intellectual work you're already doing.
And, ironically, the reasons why so many successful attorneys are struggling with their billing requirements are also the exact same reasons why they are unsuccessful at billing.

Successful attorneys procrastinate their billing because they are laser-focused on their client’s cases all day.
Successful attorneys under-bill or discount some of their time because they don't want their clients to think badly about them or how much they bill.
Successful attorneys forget or miss some of their billing because they prioritize working on their client’s cases - not on billing them.
Successful attorneys don't bill for some of their work because they have dutifully listened to what their former partners or clients have told them about what is and is not billable - even if these "rules" don't actually apply.
It's actually the opposite.
Being a better biller builds MORE trust with clients
Being a better biller fosters MORE respect from clients
Ethical, contemporaneous billing ELIMINATES client concerns about bill inflation
Transparent billing narratives turn skeptical clients into LOYAL referral sources
Proper billing practices PROTECTS law firms against malpractice claims and ethical complaints
