Payments & Billing · Review
Initial take, not yet hands-on tested
LawPay
Our verdict
LawPay is the payment processor most small firms end up with, and it's built to keep trust and operating money separate. Budget for the monthly fee plus processing and pass-through fees, not just the headline card rate.
Best for: Firms that need to take card and eCheck payments while keeping trust (IOLTA) funds handled correctly.
Watch out for: Read the full fee schedule; pass-through and card-network fees apply on top of headline rates.
Legal payment management software for accepting card and eCheck payments, built for law firms.
