Law firms put themselves through some interesting gymnastics in order to reconcile trust accounting, well or poorly – mostly poorly. There’s a couple of reasons for that: (1) Lawyers are pretty bad at math, finance. That’ s definitely a thing. (2) Also, law firms tend not to focus on utilizing technology throughout the trust account management process, and errors tend to occur when busy lawyers (or their staff) use analog methods to try to balance accounts, or review account balances.

This can be especially challenging to those parents co-parenting with a not-so-cooperative parent, or for those parents in the midst of separation.
