As a general rule, a negative balance in an attorney's trust account is NOT a good thing, so kudos to you for attempting to fix it ASAP. If the account has a negative balance, you will need to use a function that puts money INTO the account to reduce the negative. There are TWO funds transactions that do that: Payment to Account, or a Deposit. Usually Payment to Account is used when the client gives you trust money and Deposit is used when a third party (think settlement from an insurance company) is providing the money. Either of these would reduce the negative balance. Unclear from your post if you need to reduce it to only a negative 250 or if you need to go all the way to a positive 250. Either way, it would only matter as to the amount of the transaction, not the type to use. Hope this helps.
