good afternoon least makes more rollins partner here twelve roles
today we're just discussing it brief
very brief educational on video on how to pay the firm
sounds like it would be pretty simple but
in d_c_ animals author states uh... maryland
and e_c_ both require attorneys that are conducting business to have to separate
accounts
one is a trust account and the others operational account
the trust account
the interest that it when you put money into the trust account it goes to that
bar association the bar association
uh... six inches from the money use its very low
take the interest from that but
the the major point is that the money that goes into the trust account does
not belong to be turning it belongs to the client has not been decided
all with that money goes yet so
use the this is the first payment of the case because the attorney has not
started or has not begun any work on the case
uh... and you see
clients will at funds into this trust account
women
their on an hourly basis because
the attorney hasn't given them uh... an exact amount of money power how much
wanted to put the case
most of our cases here we have ours go to the operational count once the client
consents to most of the paints wanted operational account
um... usually this is money owed to the firm
for an outstanding bill
and so this is just a breakdown because on our website you'll see that ross
instead dot com backslash portal
you'll see that you can actually make a payment to one of these two accounts and
so i'll just try to explain to you
which were these accounts you would pay hinted
for most of this remember this is
only pay this way if you go so when you click on pay billet usually happen
outstanding bilby central bill and now that you've just click on this to pay
the bill or you can just click on the bottom of the invoice and all
uh... go through this payment to pay pal so your payment goes to pay pal
and he goes directly to our operational
if however you were new client and
we have not begun at work with your case and you just simply hari a sinister
first-timer no significant court yet we haven't done anything than the payments
congleton this account which is a trust account payment right here it's that you
put the paper tape and the money would go to
to go through this account and it would have this title so when you few see this
you know the monies go into the trust account again the trust account belongs
to the client does not belong to the attorney and the money
in that account wants the clock
um... and it's only when work is performed on the case and the attorney
then uh...
take money from the trust account but it was operational out
that's just so uh... brief overview to explain to you the difference
whitish to uh...
payments on our count what you can pay the bill what you pay became so
hopefully that a helps uh... explained
the differences on the accounts and object again if you have any other
questions contact us and we have to speak to you about this thank you
