THE COUNSELPAY DIFFERENCE
Built to make the financial side of your firm feel simpler.
You should not have to choose between a professional client experience, a sensible payment strategy, and someone who will actually answer the phone.
Protect the right destination
Separate earned-fee payments from retainer and advance-deposit flows so your team has a clearer path for operating and trust accounts.
Choose the right cost model
Offer low-cost ACH, transparent card pricing, and eligible fee-recovery options structured around the way your firm bills.
Talk to a real person
Get a local, responsive partner for setup, payment-page language, PCI guidance, and the questions that come up after launch.
PAYMENTS THAT FIT THE WORKFLOW
One professional payment experience. Two clear places for funds to go.
For many firms, a single “Pay Now” button creates confusion. CounselPay can help build distinct client paths for earned invoices and advance deposits—each tied to the appropriate payment configuration.

PAYMENT COSTS, ON PURPOSE

We review your current setup, payment mix, average ticket, practice workflow, and client experience. Then we recommend the right model—not a one-size-fits-all rate sheet.
