It depends on whether the client owes you money and what basis of accounting you use. If the client owes you money and you use the accrual basis then it posts as an increase (debit) to Cash and a decrease (credit) to accounts receivable. If they are paying in advance for future work then it's an increase (debit) to cash and a increase (credit) to deferred revenue. If you are on cash basis then you increase cash and revenue.
The attorney is probably including costs and legal fees in the bill. If the individual owes the money to the attorney's client (there is no dispute about that), it would be a good idea to offer a payment plan.

I'm not sure if I have the question correct. However, I will answer it with what I believe you are asking.If a customer pays a business money to be applied to their account the transaction in the journal is simple.Since you are receiving money (cash) you will debit cash for the amount of payment.Since the customer is paying on money they already owe on account you will credit their Account Receivable for the same amount.In other words, Bob owes Systems Inc. $5,000 and decides to pay $500 towards the accountCash (debit) $500 (this increases your cash by that amount)Account Rec.-Bob (credit) $500 (this will reduce the amount he owes the company)
