Adding a new client in LeanLaw:  Connect the LeanLaw client account to the QuickBooks Online Company file

Once you are connected and synchronized, it is a matter of updating the settings.  Remember LeanLaw is the tracking software for your accounts receivable as well as tracking your Trust/Iolta accounting.  It is also the program to track your billable expenses.  The ones you will add to a client invoice at a later date.  You can add the products/services you sell (legal services, corporate filings, etc.) right in LeanLaw and the synchronization will happen in QuickBooks.    The video below will demonstrate the steps to make these connections.
