Payments tuned for law firms
Retainers, large matter invoices, and client portal payments are almost always CNP, often high-ticket, and never should be keyed by staff from a sticky.
Retainers, large matter invoices, and client portal payments are almost always CNP, often high-ticket, and never should be keyed by staff from a sticky note. Trust and operating rules stay with your firm and counsel; our job is secure pay links, tokenization, and limits sized for litigation billing without widening PCI scope. We keep statements clear enough for partnership review and disputes defensible when fraud shows up.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from law firms before a savings review.
- Chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear
- High-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees
- Sensitive customer data widening your PCI and compliance scope
- Fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
How law firms get paid
Your underwriting, equipment, and pricing should match this flow, not a generic countertop setup.
- Retainer requests via secure pay link
- Trust and operating payments where permitted by your bar rules
- Hourly matter invoices with large balances
- Payment plans on contingency-adjacent cost recovery
- Client portal card payments without staff keying numbers
What we configure for your vertical
- Secure pay-by-link and client-facing payment pages
- High-ticket limits aligned with litigation billing
- Tokenization so staff never handle raw card numbers
- Clear statements for partnership accounting review
- CNP fraud tools appropriate to professional services
Worth knowing before you switch
- Trust accounting rules vary by state; your bookkeeper still owns IOLTA compliance
- Keyed card entry from staff is both a PCI problem and a downgrade problem
- Large single invoices need correct limits to avoid false declines
