What about preparing a ton of medical record subpoenas (I don’t have a paralegal)? Including looking through ALL discovery to identify providers, researching/calling the providers to find the correct address to send the subpoena, making the hipaa order and motion for entry of the order, the proposed order, calling the clerk to find out if a hearing will be needed, hipaa authorizations for out of state providers who won’t honor the subpoena, drafting and notarizing the subpoenas, [filing everything which I wouldn’t bill for], making cover letters, printing everything out and preparing certified mail with green cards. I recently subpoenaed 20 providers and it took me like 30 hours.

What is an alternative to research case law? I might use review case law but then that would get flagged too.

Oh I made it to my side of TikTok. It’s so crazy how one word can cut entries. When I first started, someone told me to use “correspondence” and not “email” because anything over 10-15 minutes will get cut and it’s assumed emails are always quick messages

It’s amazing to me that they cut “scheduling” no matter what it is. Like I’m legit trying to make sure we’re complying with everything the Court is wanting us to do. Do you really not want an attorney checking court deadlines?

Yes I roll research into drafting and I don’t use review either unless it’s a final document like a contract or a settlement proposal

I don't get anything cut because I do billing for sole practitioners, but everything received is "Receipt and review of...". Everything. Heavy use of review ova here!

"budget" is also a huge red flag word. We technically can't bill for drafting our budgets. Also, AI has been absolutely amazing the past year when doing audits! Such a time saver on billing.

Do you feel some type of way at the end of the year when you see you generated 4-5x+ your salary and barely made anything from that despite the form simply reselling your work?

Wait you can’t bill for research??? What do they expect you to be basing your motions and work off of?

I can’t imagine dealing with a client who questioned billing entries for legal research. Sounds miserable.
