The Bill Audit

Check your legal bill against the 25 overcharges.

The Bill Audit applies Tim’s checklist from Legal Bill Buster to every line of an invoice. It shows the evidence for each problem and writes your dispute email with the numbers already worked out. $99 per bill, and if it finds less than $100 to dispute, it’s free.

How it works

Three steps from invoice to letter

  1. Step 1

    Upload your bill

    Add the invoice as a PDF or photos, and answer a few questions about your retainer.

  2. Step 2

    Check what we read

    You see every line we pulled from your bill and fix anything we misread before a single check runs.

  3. Step 3

    Get your report and letter

    35 checks, the evidence for each finding, and the book’s dispute email with the numbers filled in. You see what was found before you pay.

How findings are graded

Not every problem is equally certain

Each finding is placed in one of four groups, and they map straight onto the dispute email: deduct these, explain those, and here’s my leverage.

  • Confirmed error

    The documents prove it.

  • Challenge

    Tim’s playbook says this normally isn’t billable to you.

  • Needs explanation

    Can’t be verified as written. Ask for the dockets.

  • Leverage

    Facts that strengthen your position.

Built to be trusted

A letter to your lawyer has to be right.

A false accusation would hurt you and your relationship with your lawyer. So the audit favours being certain over finding more.

  • Rules decide, not AI

    Tested rules built from Tim’s 25 overcharges decide what’s wrong and by how much. AI will only help read documents and explain findings.

  • Every finding shows its evidence

    The line, the retainer wording, and the math, so you can check every conclusion yourself.

  • Honest totals

    Confirmed errors, challengeable charges and unverified entries are always kept apart. No inflated “we found $7,000” headline.

About this audit

The Bill Audit applies the checklist from Legal Bill Buster to the documents you provide. It is for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and does not replace a licensed lawyer in your province or state. Findings marked “Challenge” or “Needs explanation” are reasons to ask questions, not proof of wrongdoing. Review and edit any letter before you send it.
