Why It's Different
Legal Services Payments Come with Their Own Rules.
Generic setups leave money on the table. Here is what a payment setup built for your business has to handle.
02
Large Retainers are Common
Retainers can run into the thousands. Clients want to pay by card or ACH, and you want to reduce the cost on big tickets.
03
Invoices Get Paid Late
Mailed invoices and checks slow collections. Clients pay faster when they can click a link and pay right away.
04
Records must be Clean
Every deposit should be easy to trace to a client and matter for reconciliation and audits.

FAQs
Legal Services Payment Processing FAQs.
Can you keep trust and operating funds separate?
Yes. Your account can be set up to deposit unearned funds such as retainers into your trust or IOLTA account and earned fees into operating. You choose the destination for each payment.
Are processing fees taken from my trust account?
Your account can be set up so all processing fees are drawn from your operating account, not from trust. That way client funds in trust stay whole.
Can clients pay retainers by credit card?
Yes. Clients can pay by card or eCheck through a secure payment link, a hosted page or over the phone through a virtual terminal.
Does this make my firm compliant with trust rules?
We provide tools that support trust-aware setups, but we do not give legal or ethics advice. Check your state bar rules and confirm your setup with your own counsel or accountant.
Can I offer clients payment plans?
Yes. With client authorization, you can schedule recurring installments that charge a stored card or bank account automatically on agreed dates.
Can I track payments by client and matter?
Yes. Add client and matter references to each payment so your deposits are easy to match in your billing and accounting software.
