Document background
The Attorney Collection Letter to Client is utilized when legal professionals need to formally request payment for services rendered while maintaining professional standards and compliance with U.S. state and federal regulations. This document becomes necessary when standard invoicing has not resulted in payment, but before pursuing more aggressive collection methods. It should detail the services provided, outstanding amounts, payment history, and payment expectations while adhering to state bar ethics rules and maintaining the attorney-client relationship. The letter serves as both a collection tool and a documented attempt to resolve payment issues professionally.
