Why Legal Payments Require Specialized Processing
Legal payments involve unique challenges that standard payment processors simply aren't built to handle. At the core of these challenges is the requirement to keep client trust funds completely separate from operating accounts to meet IOLTA and ethical standards.
Common issues law firms face:
Strict separation of client trust funds from operating accounts
Large upfront retainers triggering fraud or risk alerts
Time-based billing causing confusion in payment systems
Funding delays impacting firm cash flow
Chargebacks linked to billing disputes and case outcomes
SensaPay understands these industry-specific workflows and builds protection into our processing system, preventing the payment delays and compliance headaches that plague firms using general-purpose processors.
Flexible Payment Options for Legal Clients
Modern legal clients expect convenient payment options that fit their preferences.
Client payment options include:
Credit and debit card processing with competitive rates
ACH transfers for lower-fee large transactions
E-check acceptance for clients who prefer traditional methods
Mobile payment options for on-the-go convenience
For ongoing clients, secure online payment portals provide access to their payment history and outstanding invoices. All payment options are mobile-friendly, allowing clients to settle their bills from anywhere, at any time.
This payment flexibility delivers real benefits to your practice. Firms using SensaPay see faster collections, reduced accounts receivable, and improved client satisfaction scores. By removing payment friction, you'll spend less time chasing payments and more time practicing law.
