Our verdict on Time59
Time59 is web-based legal billing software for solo attorneys and small law firms. It combines billable time and expense tracking with hourly and fixed-fee invoicing, accounts receivable, client balance tracking, trust accounting, and LEDES invoicing. The product also supports emailed invoices, client payments through LawPay, and mobile web entry for time and expenses, including a start/stop timer. It is aimed at practices that want core billing workflows in a browser rather than a broad practice-management suite.
Pricing is straightforward: the Time59 plan costs $199 per practice per year, billed annually. The flat practice fee includes unlimited users, unlimited data, and phone and email support, so the pricing model does not increase with the number of users. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card. The feature set is notably broad for billing work: firms can record expenses, create different invoice types, manage trust deposits and disbursements, apply trust funds to invoices, and track outstanding balances. That combination makes Time59 a practical fit for practices that need billing and trust accounting together.
LawPay is the listed integration, supporting credit-card payments for invoices and trust accounts. The service is hosted on Microsoft Azure and runs in a browser, while the companion mobile web application extends time and expense entry beyond a desktop session. The trade-off is focus: Time59 has one paid plan and a web-only platform, which may be less suitable for firms seeking multiple packaging options or native applications. Choose it for simple annual billing with legal-specific accounting features; consider an alternative if a wider ecosystem or broader platform coverage is a priority.
