At Focus Law, an Anaheim-based business litigation and trial firm, that is what we exist to protect. We help business owners break free from dishonest partners and bad deals, and we do it by bringing clarity to the chaos of high-stakes disputes: telling clients the truth, keeping them informed, and standing with them when it matters most. Our billing and collections function is part of that promise. When a client trusts us with their business, their reputation, and their future, the way we handle their money has to match the way we handle their case — with integrity, clarity, and follow-through. This is not back-office paperwork. It is the financial backbone that lets our attorneys fight for the people who count on us. Why This Role Is Worth Your Time If you are the kind of billing professional who takes quiet pride in a clean AR report, who would rather make the honest collections call than watch a receivable drift, and who wants your work to actually matter to the people around you — this is a seat you will enjoy. You will not be a number in a billing department of twenty. You will own the function, work directly with the owner, see the impact of your work every single week, and have real ownership over how things run. We are small enough that your judgment counts and serious enough that your expertise is genuinely needed. The Role We are looking for a seasoned Billing and Collections Specialist to join our firm part-time (20-25 hours per week). You will own the firm's billing process end to end — from initial time-entry review through invoicing, retainer replenishment, and timely collections — in a way that reflects how Focus Law treats its clients. This is a role for someone who is precise, proactive, and genuinely good with people, even in the occasionally uncomfortable conversations that collections require. What You Will Do Review time entries for quality and timeliness; generate and edit pre-bills; collaborate with the legal team to finalize invoices accurately. Send final invoices to clients promptly and monitor payment status. Track billing and collections metrics and share weekly updates with the owner for action. Process incoming and outgoing payments according to the firm's policies and schedules. Manage retainer and trust accounts, auto-replenishments, and installment payments, ensuring active matters stay funded. Own and track AR reporting and lead strategic collections efforts in line with the firm's AR SOP. Address client billing and payment questions professionally, with clear answers and helpful solutions. Work with clients, merchant service providers, and credit card companies to resolve disputes, chargebacks, and refund requests. Review, track, and post vendor invoices so they are properly captured in client billing. Partner with the firm's bookkeeper to maintain accounting and financial reports. What You Bring Successful experience with hourly billing and collections in a law firm — this is required, not preferred. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the confidence to handle collections conversations with professionalism and tact. A proven track record of sound judgment and creative problem-solving. Strong project management skills, with the ability to deliver outcomes on time and on budget. Meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational instincts. Proficiency in data tracking and analysis using databases or Excel. Familiarity with Clio. A client-focused mindset and the kind of teamwork that makes a small firm run well. Who Thrives Here Focus Law is built on four values, and the right person for this role lives them in the billing seat: Integrity — your word and your work align; you handle clients' money the way we handle their cases. Courage — you make the collections call and have the honest conversation rather than letting receivables drift. Adaptability — you think sharply, move quickly, and adjust when a matter or a client situation changes. Self-Leadership — you own your work, manage your own follow-through, and raise your own standard without being asked. How to Apply Please apply by email only.
