LawPay

Overview

If you run a small law firm, you face a payment problem that generic tools like Square or Stripe cannot solve: you must keep client funds separated from earned fees, and you must follow ABA and IOLTA guidelines or risk your license. LawPay was built specifically for this. It accepts credit cards, debit cards, and eChecks, keeps trust accounts protected, and handles PCI compliance for you. The monthly fee is $19 with no contract, and processing fees run 2.99% plus $0.30 per transaction for Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. LawPay reports that firms using it get paid 39% faster. More than 150,000 lawyers use it, and all 50 state bar associations have vetted and recommended it. For a solo attorney or small firm that bills clients monthly, this tool removes compliance risk and reduces time spent chasing invoices.
