RULE 1.15. SAFEKEEPING PROPERTY b

A lawyer may deposit the lawyer’s own funds in a client trust account for the sole purpose of paying bank service charges on that account or obtaining a waiver of those charges, but only in an amount necessary for that purpose.

There is no way to record bank fees in PCLaw and there should not be.  I have dealt with enough Law Firm’s in Louisiana to know that their are plenty of banks that do not charge bank fees on trust accounts.  If yours does, find a new bank.
