Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Time59 focuses on managing the financial side of legal practices, particularly billing and practice-finance tracking. Users value its financial reporting for monitoring practice finances, while some find it limited for firms with multiple users. A recent vendor update adds an Invoice Project Summary List for reviewing invoice and project information in one place.

Our Verdict

Time59 is a practical option for solo attorneys and small law practices that prioritize straightforward billing at a low annual cost. Its pricing is generally viewed as affordable compared with competing products. It is less suited to larger firms requiring broader multi-user capabilities. We recommend it primarily for smaller practices seeking essential legal billing functionality.

Time59 Features

Time And Expense Tracking

Time59 lets users enter billable hours and expenses. Time records can capture the work performed, while expense records keep reimbursable costs associated with the relevant matter. Once entered, these records remain available for review and editing and can flow directly into invoices without being entered again.

See How It Works
Invoicing

This feature creates invoices from recorded time and expense data and performs the associated billing calculations. Users can customize the invoice layout by adding a firm logo or letterhead, changing fonts and columns, and sorting or grouping invoice information. An invoice can also show prior balances, payments, interest, and trust account activity. Firms with multiple timekeepers can include their work on the same invoice while retaining each person's individual billing rate.

See How It Works
Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable tracks amounts owed as invoices and payments are entered into the system. Creating an invoice updates the relevant client balance, while recording a payment adjusts the outstanding amount accordingly. The accounts receivable records therefore provide a running view of what each client owes.

LEDES Invoicing

Time59 supports LEDES invoicing for electronic submission of standardized legal billing information. The platform can generate LEDES invoices from the firm's billing data, which is relevant when corporate clients require legal bills in a specific electronic format.

“Affordable, easy to use for solo practitioners”

Pros

For just $199 annually, this is incredibly affordable for me. The interface is easy and doesn't require much of a learning curve. It's ideal for solo practitioners like me or small law firms who need to track billable hours, manage expenses and handle invoicing all in one place.

Cons

From my perspective the lack of a mobile app for iPhone or Android is disappointing, though the website does work well on mobile devices.

“Pleased with easy use and support”

Pros

I am really pleased with how easy it is to use, its reliability and the helpful customer support.

Cons

For sure there are capabilities missing that would make this tool competitive with the more feature-rich practice and billing management suites used by larger firms. That said the software is clearly aimed at smaller practices and attorneys who are just getting started which fits my situation perfectly. So I am really glad I switched to it when I began working on my own. I have paired it with other legal-focused platforms over time but I consistently return to this tool because it reliably captures my billable time and lets me produce polished, professional invoices without fuss.
