Before the advent of cost consultant services (Bills of Cost), attorneys were burdened with the task of preparing and taxing their own bills, a process fraught with inefficiencies. 

This often entailed:

  • Tedious Work: Hours of labor-intensive work that could detract from more strategic legal activities.
  • Time-Consuming: Long hours spent on administrative tasks rather than client-focused work.
  • Risk of Under-Recovery: In an effort to expedite the process, attorneys might overlook details, leading to inaccuracies and, consequently, under-recovery of expenses.


This above scenario underscores the necessity for specialized services like Bills of Cost, designed to streamline and optimize the billing process for legal professionals.
