Solving the Payment Predicament: How AuxPAY Transforms Lawyer's Office Finances

Introduction

In the legal world, where precision and expertise are paramount, the last thing lawyers should worry about is payment management. Yet, the intricacies of handling fees, invoices, and client transactions often lead to cumbersome administrative challenges for lawyer's offices. The good news is that AuxPAY is here to simplify the payment process and empower legal professionals.

The Financial Maze of Legal Practice

Running a lawyer's office is a demanding task, with legal practitioners navigating complex cases and providing critical counsel to clients. Amidst these demanding duties, managing payments can be a daunting undertaking. Let's delve into some common financial pain points faced by lawyers' offices and explore how AuxPAY emerges as the solution.

Pain Point 1 - Payment Delays

Perhaps one of the most pressing issues for lawyer's offices is payment delays. Legal fees often involve intricate billing processes, including hourly rates and itemized expenses. These complexities can result in extended payment timelines, leaving legal professionals waiting for their hard-earned compensation.

AuxPAY's Solution: AuxPAY streamlines payment processing with an efficient system that significantly reduces the time it takes to invoice clients and receive payments. Lawyers can now expect faster reimbursements, ensuring a healthier financial flow for their practice.

Pain Point 2 - Billing Errors

Legal billing is notorious for its complexity. Even minor errors in billing codes, hours logged, or client details can lead to payment discrepancies, resulting in tedious error corrections and, potentially, disputes.

AuxPAY's Solution: AuxPAY incorporates advanced error-checking algorithms into its system. This proactive approach minimizes billing errors and accelerates the payment cycle, allowing lawyers to concentrate more on their legal expertise and less on administrative tasks.

Pain Point 3 - Cash Flow Challenges

Maintaining a steady cash flow is vital for the seamless operation of a lawyer's office. Delays in payments, combined with the costs of running the practice, can strain financial resources and hinder the ability to provide top-notch legal services.

AuxPAY's Solution: AuxPAY offers flexible payment solutions that address cash flow concerns. It allows lawyers to set up payment plans with clients, making legal services more accessible while ensuring a consistent income stream.

Pain Point 4 - Client Payments

Collecting client payments can sometimes be a contentious and time-consuming process, taking lawyers away from their core legal work.

AuxPAY's Solution: AuxPAY simplifies client payments. Its user-friendly interface enables lawyers to send invoices electronically and empowers clients to pay securely online. This not only reduces administrative overhead but also enhances the client experience.

Pain Point 5 - Security Concerns

In the legal field, safeguarding sensitive client information is paramount. Lawyer's offices deal with confidential data daily, making them potential targets for data breaches.

AuxPAY's Solution: AuxPAY prioritizes security. Its payment processing system employs cutting-edge encryption, tokenization, and real-time fraud detection, providing lawyers with peace of mind regarding their clients' financial information.

The AuxPAY Advantage

In the multifaceted world of legal payments, AuxPAY emerges as a reliable ally. It streamlines billing, accelerates payments, ensures a steady cash flow, simplifies client payments, and provides top-tier security.

a few weeks ago i saw a video on twitter thats of some guy talking about how amazing it is that all these people make a pencil and then you can buy it etc. is this the type of stuff you/cordelia mean when youre talking about how some people actually take domination to be a great thing (not only consciously but as an actual articulated value, i mean)

i assume the video was friedman's "i, pencil" riff, which does get at some of those points (and which other socialists have responded to on similar terrain, doing the thing i talk about of merely describing the same processes but with different moralizations), but also at a more general level in the sense that the impersonal mechanisms of capitalism are seen as nondiscriminatory, which for liberal theorists is a major advance over the more direct forms of coercion found in pre-capitalist societies. the benefit here is that markets don't really care about your background, your money is as good as anyone else's, and there's a certain universalizing tendency which comes out of the formal equality which is baked into this logic.

this is echoed in the writings of plenty of classical liberal thinkers like walter e williams that argued segregation would've dissolved on its own if free market forces had been left to run their course, unhindered by racist laws upholding the forced separation of people. eventually, certain business owners would've put their profits before their potential racism, and other firms would've been forced to similarly accommodate in order to stay competitive. williams (who was black) actually criticized some of his friends at the time for spending their money in white businesses that they'd been previously barred from, because in their attempt to stick it to the shop owners that the day before had refused to service them, they were unintentionally enriching racists instead of giving their business to firms that would've taken their money all along, had it been legal and easy to do so. this particular problem (and its market solution) are sometimes dealt with in the context of things like the sears catalog during the jim crow era, which was a big talking point a few years ago as an instance of this market anonymity/impersonality delivering a certain form of economic fairness.

for a lot of marxists, this nondiscriminatory element isn't acknowledged for the merits of not caring about your background, but in some sense for not caring about you at all. everything is reduced to the merely economic. marx pretty famously says as much in the manifesto when he writes:

"The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors”, and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment”. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom — Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation."

this is also what's at stake in the formal equality of the worker in marx's capital, who, as a newly emerged legal subject with all the rights that entails, discovers their double freedom -- free to work or free to starve. and as he says there in v1, "between equal rights force decides".

what i think is significant here is that these aren't really two different accounts of how the system works. for people like smith and hayek, this impersonal mechanism (the invisible hand, etc) is understood as a kind of coercive force which pushes firms toward particular ends which are independent of the wills of any singular capitalist (and in fact express the whole of human economic activity in the aggregate) and which result in the universal generalization of particular principles throughout society, increasingly undermining lingering prejudices (eg smiths capitalist arguments against slavery). marx's analysis is pretty much identical (and this is the point), except in its normative angling. the totalizing character of capitalist production which recreates the world in its own bourgeois image and strives to constantly overcome its own self-imposed limits is similarly impersonal and indiscriminate, but this is presented as a problem to be overcome. hayek, even moreso than smith, recognizes this aspect of the price system which gets at the exact issue which marx is trying to highlight with his analysis of value.

both are aware of the historical uniqueness of the social formation and have no illusions about it via cliche appeals to "human nature" etc, and as i've mentioned above, its not really a difference in analysis, or even really in results (as cordelia has said, the strong form of the marxian complaint isn't that capitalism is doing something poorly, but that these are the effects when it is working well/asserting itself fully). so the point im making and have made repeatedly is that what's at stake here is a set of underlying normative commitments which marx and marxists have basically left unjustified. the usual claim is that marx was too scientific for that sort of thing, but i don't think that's really a possible reading (and if it is, it's not a good/internally defensible one).

if anything, the immanence of his analysis to the liberal theory which constitutes his object sets the limit on his ability to express himself fully, but it also provides the only adequate place to ground his normative account. his notion of contradiction is supposed to do a lot of the heavy lifting here, but to the extent that these contradictions are located in liberal theory itself, they *necessarily* don't go unaccounted for by liberals. he's not saying or demonstrating anything which hasn't also been posed as a liberal political problem. if you don't like crises, then very well, you can be a keynesian (maybe even a radical one). you don't think that works? well, your argument probably sounds a lot like hayek's. what is marx able to contribute here that isn't already understood as a careful balancing act -- if not a definite limit -- in liberal theory? the potential salvation of communism, which is supposed to overcome the problems (whatever they are taken to be) of capitalism, necessarily stems from some set of normative commitments that can't be written off. if his critique is tightly immanent, as it arguably was, then what marxists need to justify isn't really the account of the system (you don't even have to be a marxist for that!) but the case for its abolition.

if your problem with it is "domination", you need to be able to demonstrate what's wrong with the mechanisms that word is intended to describe, and it can't just be that they're impersonal or coercive. liberals feel the same way about these things and all of us experience gravity that way. you have to be able to say something more than that, but contemporary marxist accounts tend to only go as far as calling it "domination" and getting away with it because the marxists nod along, knowing that domination is naughty, otherwise why would we call it domination?

so, although cordelia can surely speak for herself, this is part of the project that i think she and i have sorta been picking away at in different ways for a while, with me catching on a bit later (maybe too late tbh). when i expressed my frustrations on this point, directed at chambers, i was in some sense admitting that she'd won me over on this style (if not the specific line) of questioning.

all of this aside, this is of course not a defense of liberalism in the liberal sense, but it is a kind of "defense" of liberalism as a project which has to be taken seriously and can't be written off or dreamed away. in this sense, i am merely following in marx's footsteps, who i think felt very strongly about the need to grapple with liberalism on exactly this kind of terrain, but i am turning the ruthless criticism on the ruthless critic, because i don't think he or his contemporary disciples in the value-as-domination literature have done a good job of navigating this problem. probably though, like nearly everyone else, i'm simply left waiting for cordelia's book.

In many ways, I love living in the digital age. As someone who grew up in the analog world (my first journalism job, as a college intern, involved a manual typewriter and carbon paper), I am still delighted to be able to find out, within 10 seconds, whether a particular movie star is still alive or to share my latest column with the entire world through a social media post.

But the downside of digital life is driving me batty – so much so that I sometimes consider trying to go off the grid altogether to seek a less frustrating existence. I have a fantasy of this simple life that I describe as Full Bore Thoreau. It involves listening to birdsong and reading Russian novels while occasionally using a landline to maintain contact with other humans.

What has brought me to this point? Consider, as one of many examples, my recent adventures with usernames and passwords, involving E-ZPass, the device that allows you to travel through toll barriers without stopping to hand over cash. When I signed up for it many years ago, I apparently got a username and password. And I gave them my credit card information so that it could be charged when necessary.

All went well for years; I would get hard-copy statements in the mail from time to time, but never kept them around for long. I gave this arrangement no thought, until the day I got a voicemail message, claiming to be from a law firm, saying I had accrued massive E-ZPass debt.

I thought it might be a scam so decided to check my account balance, something I had never felt the need to do before. Signing in involved that original username and password. But, horrors! It turned out that my username was not my email address. I tried to retrieve it via my cellphone number or email address but only descended into concentric circles of digital hell. A phone call – old-school, I know – to customer service resulted in a demand for my account number, but in order to get that, I needed to, yes, sign on to my account. Round and round I went.

Of course, an issue like that is minor, one tiny piece of the daily puzzle that involves all the ways that we (and institutions like banks or employers) try to protect digital security. Two-factor authentication now stops us at every turn. To log in, you need to put in the code that’s just been sent to your phone, but as you go to your text messages to find it, the original question somehow has disappeared into the ether.

Those of us who do any freelance work descend to a special torture chamber that comes with registering as a “vendor” with part-time employers. This involves layers upon layers of proving your identity, submitting tax forms and navigating multilayered payment systems with weird names and byzantine processes. Not long ago, I got an email from the accounts payable department of a large media company that began with this less than promising line, including the capitalized F: “Your Form has been received and forwarded for processing.” It then directed me to the “secure onboarding portal”, where many other incomprehensible steps awaited.

All of this, I remind myself, is a result of privilege. These are the very definition of first-world problems, and I’m lucky – in a sense – to have them. But it doesn’t feel that way. Often, I wish I could step off the digital merry-go-round.

At best, such challenges help me to develop patience as I plod through the steps, ask for help when possible (often from a digital native, possibly including my son or daughter), and eventually solve the problem – as I did with the EZ-Pass puzzle.

The solution there, it turned out, was marvelously old-fashioned. I dug out a small notebook from a drawer, filled with scrawled usernames and passwords going back for years. And there the answer was, in all its inky glory. My login was successful, my account balance was fine, and I deemed it unwise to respond to the self-described lawyer.

Victorious for the moment, I moved on to the inevitable next hassle, while dreaming of fishing for my meals from the banks of Walden Pond.

Reinstate Your Driver’s License File a Petition in Bankruptcy

If a New York State resident incurs New York State tax debt which including interest and penalties exceeds $10,000, under a existing program New York State Department of Taxation and Finance may suspend a taxpayer’s driver’s license to enforce collection of the past due balance. See New York Tax Law Section 171-v. While the program has enjoyed considerable success in helping New York State raise funds to augment its depleted coffers, for the unsuspecting taxpayer who is completely ignorant that falling behind in his tax payments to New York State could result in the taxpayer being grounded, unable to use his vehicle even to drive and engage in gainful employment so as to amass funds to make inroads on the tax debt, the loss of the use of a driver’s license can be both devastating and debilitating.

While various steps can be taken by a taxpayer to obtain relief from the suspension, such as entering into a repayment plan, or proving “undue economic hardship”, these procedures can be time consuming and even ultimately unsuccessful.

When faced with somewhat limited time consuming and potentially unsuccessful alternatives, a preferable solution might be to simply file for bankruptcy.

The Department of Taxation and Finance itself has acknowledged that it may not suspend a driver’s license while a taxpayer is seeking relief under applicable federal bankruptcy laws. See Technical Memorandum, TSB-17-13(4) I dated August 8, 2013. When faced with the prospect of substantial delays in being able to drive one’s vehicle, immediately upon notification to the taxing authorities that he has filed for bankruptcy a taxpayer has the right to the reinstatement of his license.

Typically, a delinquent taxpayer will receive from the tax department a letter which will include a “Consolidated Statement of Tax Liabilities”. The letter will also advise the taxpayer how to pay the liabilities or to request additional information. Finally, the letter will notify the taxpayer that his driver’s license can be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles upon failure to pay taxes. The taxpayer must then respond to the payment demand within 60 days. A failure to timely respond will result in notification by the taxing authorities to the Department of Motor Vehicles to move forward to suspend the taxpayer’s driver’s license.

Thus, this 60 day notification creates a window which may be utilized to file a bankruptcy petition which would then have the immediate effect of forestalling the suspension of the driver’s license.

Moreover, even if a driver’s license had already been suspended, the filing of bankruptcy petition thereafter would have the (short term) benefit of reinstating the driver’s license.

Obviously, much more needs to be discussed to fully understand the bankruptcy process, various bankruptcy alternatives and a mechanism for dealing with the tax debt in a bankruptcy case, and these are all important issues. However, in any event, the immediate benefit of a filing for bankruptcy to cease in its tracks actions by New York State to suspend a driver’s license cannot be overestimated in providing immediate and inexpensive relief to a beleaguered taxpayer.

Our experts would be more than happy to discuss with you the bankruptcy process and how it might be beneficial in dealing with tax and other categories of debt.

Sometimes you have to take two steps back before you can take one step forward. Looking at what's been going on lately, I think that's good advice. You need to distance yourself, some people want us to doubt the principles of logical thinking. Everything happens quickly and has the appearance of being true. But when you look closely and analyze it, you discover a falsehood. Unscrupulous people use our emotions. It's bad. It causes confusion and doubt. It's one thing, another is such a rhetorical question: how many of you have had to deal with staying as a party in court? I assume that most have dealt with civil cases related to inheritance, payment of some debts, compensation or remuneration for work. Maybe these people were represented in court by a lawyer, and if you were in court in person, how did you feel before going to court? This is in relation to the ZZH case. He himself, not necessarily personally, could have dealt with court cases, I think these were civil cases and these cases were handled by a law firm hired by his company. He didn't have to appear in court, so I suppose he only knew the court from stories or movies. Now that his trial begins, he will have to appear in person before the court and be prepared to be questioned by lawyers and questions by the judge. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable questions, questions that will relate to the period of time when he was hurt the most. He will have to think back to that time. It will be painful for sure. I will not be surprised that he will be afraid of this speech. It will be very difficult for him. He knows that his future and good name will depend on the outcome of this process. He must prepare well for this together with his lawyers. Let's consider whether a person like ZZH, fighting to restore its good name, now has time to deal with other matters. Traveling abroad, concerts? I think that if ZZH would like to organize his birthday concert, he would do it in his own country after he regains his good name and entities that are associated with CA / PA will not make his life difficult. No court with a final decision has deprived ZZH of its civil rights, its basic rights have been violated by a private organization. ZZH MUST regain its good name in order to function normally in society, to be able to work normally, so that its artistic achievements are available in its native country. For so many years of his work, he never showed any desire to make a career abroad, he did not adopt an English name like some of his colleagues in the industry to be more associated abroad. ZZH trusts in the justice of his country, he is not the person they have been trying to present to us lately. The best solution will be to wait for the final result of his process.

P2P Lending – The new Form of Credit Extension in Financial Technology Era

Peer to Peer Lending (P2P) has becoming more popular in many countries. This form first appeared in the UK since 2005, then succeeded in the US and China markets. By 2017, P2P lending businesses start to appear in Vietnam in different forms.

                             Banking and dispute lawyers in Vietnam

Three subject matters in P2P lending relation include: investor (or lender), intermediary company (P2P Lending Company) and borrower. P2P Lending utilizes digital technology platform connecting lenders and borrowers directly, cutting out the credit institution as the middleman. Accordingly, P2P Lending Company provides online services (website, app) that match lenders with borrowers. The idea is that, all borrowing, debt payment (principal and interest) between the borrowers and lenders are recorded and stored by the online transaction platform. This method is completely different from the traditional loan form by increasing the ability to successfully connect lenders and borrower through online platforms along with advanced financial technology systems.

The relationship between lenders and borrowers is civil relation, therefore, the lending or payment is based on the regulations of Vietnam Civil Code. According to P2P Lending Company, the nature of P2P Lending Company is a broker between lenders and borrowers through technology. However, under Article 8.2 of Law on Credit Institutions 2010: “Individuals and organizations which is not credit institutions are prohibited from conducting banking operations, excepting escrow, purchase and sale of securities by securities companies”. Therefore, it is challenging for stakeholders to clearly define the boundary services could extend under P2P mode without violation of the laws.

In a good term, P2P lending creates a new way for approaching the loans when borrowers are not satisfied for the conditions of conventional bank loans. The advantages of P2P lending in Vietnam are the simplification of procedures, fast approval for loans, easy online transaction, in comparison to borrowing from banks which requires a complex and strict examination process... Since P2P Lending Company offers these services online, it is expected it can operate with lower overhead and provide the service at a cheaper price than traditional financial institutions. If applying appropriately, P2P lending could be a solution to minimize other illegal lending services in Vietnam.

The Vietnam government has assigned The State Bank to build a legal framework for credit extension activities under the form of P2P Lending to promote the positive aspects of this service. At ANT Lawyers, a law firm in Vietnam, with offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, we have technology, business and IP lawyers whom are familiar with development of digital transformation in Vietnam that could bring new ways of doing business leveraging on high rate of Vietnam smartphone users to prove a better services to high tech start-up clients entering Vietnam market.

For years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been unraveling what it asserts is a scam perpetrated by agents of North Korea, which used fake companies employing real IT workers to funnel money back to the regime’s military.

An American company played a key role in creating shell companies used as part of the scheme, a WIRED review of public records shows. Elected officials are now contemplating addressing loopholes in business-registration law that the scheme exposed.

In May, Wyoming secretary of state Chuck Gray revoked the business licenses of three companies linked to the North Korean scam: Culture Box LLC, Next Nets LLC, and Blackish Tech LLC. Gray said his office made the decision after receiving information from the FBI and conducting an investigation.

“The communist, authoritarian Kim Jong Un regime has no place in Wyoming,” Gray said in a May press release.

The companies posed as legitimate operations where businesses could hire contract workers to perform IT solutions, complete with fake websites featuring smiling photos of apparent employees. The companies all had one thing in common: Their incorporation documents were filed by a company called Registered Agents Inc., which says its global headquarters is in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Registered Agents, which provides incorporation services in every US state, takes the practice of business privacy to the extreme, and regularly uses fake personae to file formation documents with state agencies, a WIRED investigation previously found.

Culture Box LLC, one of the companies that Gray and the FBI linked to North Korea, listed “Riley Park” as the name of a Registered Agents employee on documents submitted to the Wyoming secretary of state. Park, according to several former employees of Registered Agents, is a fake persona that the company regularly used to file incorporation documents.

In a statement provided to WIRED, Registered Agents wrote, “The Wyoming Secretary of State dissolved the entities and we initiated the 30-day process to resign as their agent in mid-May. Ours and Wyoming's processes to identify bad actors works. It strikes the best balance of individual privacy and business transparency supported by an entire ecosystem that cares about supporting entrepreneurs while rooting out the small percent of scammers.” The FBI’s St. Louis office, which led the investigation, did not respond to a request for comment.

The North Korean operation worked like this: Agents of the regime created fake companies purporting to be legitimate firms offering freelance IT services. Workers hired by North Koreans, or North Koreans themselves, would then perform legitimate contractor work, often using assumed identities.

In some instances, Americans would set up low-cost laptops with remote-access software, allowing North Korean workers to perform freelance IT work while appearing to use American IP addresses. The FBI referred to these Americans as “virtual assistants.”

The payments for the IT work were eventually funneled back to North Korea—where, the Department of Justice asserts, it was directed to the country’s Ministry of Defense and other agencies involved in WMD work. The scheme was so expansive that any company that hired freelance IT workers “more than likely” hired someone involved in the operation, according to FBI agent Jay Greenberg.

The shell companies created in Wyoming were used to hire virtual assistants and receive payments. “I discovered that North Korean IT workers create and use domain names and limited liability companies (LLCs) in furtherance of their fraudulent activity and to mask their true identities as North Koreans. The LLCs are used to recruit ‘Virtual Assistants’ who can receive and ship devices needed for the North Korean IT workers as well as recruit and employ software developers from countries such as Pakistan, India, and China,” an FBI agent wrote in a May affidavit. “These LLCs are often registered in the United States through business registry services and sometimes use the identities of individuals who had a previous relationship with North Korean IT workers.”

The affidavit alleges that money from North Korean workers was used to purchase domain names for the IT front companies, in violation of sanctions laws. The domains were purchased using “payment service providers” with accounts belonging to the Wyoming companies.

In response to a request for comment from WIRED, the Wyoming secretary of state’s office said that it has “increased the number of complete, in-person audits of commercial registered agents, resulting in several ongoing investigations, as well as the issuance of findings and orders.”

The secretary of state has offered proposals to the Wyoming state legislature “aimed at preventing fraud and abuse of corporate filings by commercial registered agents, as ways to strengthen the Wyoming secretary of state's administrative authority to dissolve business entities controlled by foreign adversaries,” said Joe Rubino, the chief policy officer and general counsel at the Wyoming Secretary of State's Office.

Small Business Payroll Services: Compare and Choose the Best

One of the most important but challenging responsibilities for small businesses is payroll management. Payroll administration calls for accuracy and knowledge in order to guarantee on-time wage payments and adhere to tax laws. Payroll is a time-consuming task since many small business owners have trouble with tax deductions, payroll computations, and regulatory compliance.

Businesses might choose to utilize a payroll provider or handle payroll internally to expedite this process. But selecting the ideal option necessitates carefully weighing aspects like price, functionality, scalability, and support for compliance. The advantages of working with a payroll agency like OPS, a reputable payroll outsourcing company providing effective and compliant payroll solutions, will be highlighted in this article, which will assist you in comparing and selecting the finest small business payroll service.

A payroll service is an automated system that handles employee payments, tax deductions, compliance reporting, and salary computations. It guarantees timely and correct employee payments while maintaining business compliance with tax and labor requirements.. Small businesses can either:

Handle Payroll In-House – Using manual calculations, spreadsheets, or payroll software.

Outsource Payroll Services – Hiring a professional payroll agency or payroll outsourcing company like OPS to manage payroll tasks.
