frequently asked questions

Can I track billable hours as a solo practice lawyer using PlanHourly?

While PlanHourly isn't a time tracking tool, it's perfect for planning your billable work in specific time blocks. You can color-code client work separately from admin tasks, making it easier to see how much time you're allocating to billable versus non-billable activities.

How does PlanHourly help with the unpredictable nature of legal work?

The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to quickly reschedule when emergency client calls or court matters pop up. Plus, since each day starts fresh, you won't feel guilty about yesterday's disrupted schedule.

Can I set up recurring blocks for regular solo practice activities?

Absolutely! Set recurring blocks for weekly admin time, continuing education, business development calls, or regular client check-ins. This helps ensure important but non-urgent practice management tasks don't get forgotten.
