Billable time log

Paralegal Timesheet

“Worked on file” is why your hour got cut. Not because you didn’t work.

$24

7 pages · Daily log + rewrite table (instant PDF)

“Worked on file” gets cut. “Prepared Nguyen petition v02 for attorney review” does not. This workbook is the difference, plus the log you fill while the work is happening — not at 6 p.m. from memory.

The attorney decides what bills. You decide whether the sentence is defensible. UPL: you gathered, prepared, calendared, filed. You did not advise.

Included

  • Cut this / write this rewrite table
  • Verb list that survives review
  • Daily time log (start / stop / .10 / narrative)
  • Block-billing rule in one page
  • End-of-day close
  • Firm-policy blanks (increment, never-billed tasks)

Bonus

  • How to record client calls without writing legal advice into the narrative
  • Non-billable tracking so the firm can see the real cost of the desk
