Before working with Confido Legal, processing client payments was time-consuming and required a lot of manual follow-up. Their integration made it easier for our team to track payments, helping us convert accounts receivable into cash faster.

We have been customers of Confido Legal for approximately one business quarter. We are so glad we switched merchant services providers.

Confido Legal has transformed our billing. It offers flexible payment options like subscriptions, deposits into different accounts, and an easy, professional client-facing platform. They uniquely work with lawyers to ensure compliance with ethics rules and are one of the few companies that let credit card fees be passed to clients instead of absorbed by the firm. Their customer support is excellent, though rarely needed because the system just works. It really is that great!
 

Your payment plan questions, answered

What are payment plans for law firms?

Law firm payment plans let clients  pay legal fees over time instead of one lump sum. By offering structured installment payments for legal services, attorneys give clients greater affordability and accessibility while ensuring the firm maintains steady, predictable cash flow.

How do legal fee payment plans work?

Legal fee payment plans break a client’s total bill into smaller, scheduled installments over an agreed period. Confido Legal enables attorneys to set up automatic recurring payments or flexible schedules, giving clients payment flexibility for legal services without financial strain.

Do payment plans affect my firm’s cash flow?

When structured properly, law firm payment plans can improve cash flow by creating steady, predictable revenue. Confido Legal’s automated collections reduce administrative work and minimize delays, so attorneys maintain reliable income while still providing client payment flexibility.

Do clients receive reminders about their payments?

Yes, automated reminders are sent to notify clients of upcoming legal fee payment plan installments. These alerts reduce missed payments, improve compliance, and minimize the need for law firm staff to follow up manually.

Can payment plans be customized for clients?

Yes, legal fee payment plans can be tailored to each client’s case type and financial situation. With Confido Legal, attorneys can adjust installment payments for legal services, including amount, frequency, and duration, to ensure both flexibility for clients and consistent revenue for the firm.

What happens if a client misses a payment?

If a client misses an installment, Confido Legal notifies the firm immediately. Attorneys can retry the transaction, adjust the schedule, or modify the amount within the law firm payment plan. This flexibility ensures collections continue while preserving the client relationship.
