Law firms often nickel-and-dime clients with line-item charges like a $5 stamp fee. These small irritants pile up fast and damage relationships, costing firms referral business down the road.

I licked the stamp and they charge you $5 for that. And it's like, you get— you can see where people get a little bit aggravated because if you start to do line item everything, just go into the admin costs when you work with a law firm and you know how many little costs can be on there. And that can irritate a client too. So I think they want to have a good relationship with their client. They want to keep their referral business going.
