Frequently asked questions
Is this invoice template really free?
Yes. Creating and downloading invoices with FoxyInvoice is free — this template included. Paid plans only add extras like recurring invoices, online payments, and multi-user workspaces.
Do I need to create an account?
No signup is required to start from the template: open it, fill in your details, and download the PDF. An account lets you save clients, track payments, and send invoices by email.
Can I change the line items and prices?
Everything is editable. Add, remove, or reprice line items and the totals — including tax — recalculate automatically.
What should a legal invoice include?
Your firm name, bar/license details, and contact information; the client and matter name; a matter number if you use them; time entries with dates, durations, and task descriptions; flat-fee items separate from hourly work; costs (filing fees, courier) at cost; and the total with payment terms. Trust-accounting rules in your state may add requirements for advance deposits.
How do attorneys bill in tenths of an hour?
Most US firms bill in 0.1-hour (6-minute) increments. FoxyInvoice accepts decimal quantities, so "3.5 h × $300" works as a line item — enter 3.5 as the quantity and your hourly rate as the unit price.
Do lawyers charge sales tax on fees?
Most US states do not tax professional legal services; a handful do. Retainers held in trust are generally not income until earned — billing that draws down an earned retainer is normal invoicing. Tax on fees is state-specific: confirm once with your accountant, then set your jurisdiction in FoxyInvoice.
