In the November/December 2017 issue of The National Association of Legal Assistant’s Facts & Findings (F&F) magazine, our own Office Manager Laura Peirano, shares tips on gathering expenses after a case settles.

Laura writes:

Ensure that the mediator’s invoice has been received and processed. If the mediator’s fee is being split among parties, be sure that all parties have paid if you may ultimately be held responsible.
Ask if any filing fees will be needed for court documents, including in probate court.
