Configuring Michigan CAP Fees
Attorneys who are paid when they are through with a case are assessed a CAP fee – an irregular amount at irregular intervals. The assessment takes place at the time of the payment and can be in different forms based on a decision by the attorney board.
To configure the fee assessment
1. Click Fees & Finances or Administration from the navigation menu. Click Attorney Payments in the Financial Setup section, and then click Michigan CAP Fee Configuration.
2. Complete the Michigan CAP fee configuration fields displayed.
3. Click Save (ALT+S).
When this fee is deducted from the attorney payment, it is displayed as a negative payment line item. The attorney payment type is disabled, and the activity control is hidden. A user with the "Modify Attorney Payment" right has the ability to modify the amount.
