eBilling Rejection Appeals Script Pack (LEDES & Guideline‑Friendly)

Copy/paste appeal language for law firm billing teams to respond to common invoice rejections professionally, quickly, and consistently—without sounding defensive.

If you manage eBilling rejections, you already know the reality: the same issues come up again and again—vague narratives, block billing flags, “wrong timekeeper,” duplicative language across matters, travel pushback, pre‑approval questions, and more. And every response has to be fast, neutral, and aligned with client billing guidelines.
