Every single time, clients report a "daily limit reached" error when trying to pay their invoice with the Pay Later option. Then, they have to wait one hour to try again. And it doesn't work again. Th... See more

Law pay is easy to use with Smokeball, the problem is the reporting and batching of payments is almost impossible to reconcile every day. It seems to be missing some information though. We don't recei... See more

Expect to be confused

This is the worst payment portal I've ever seen. As they proudly state, it's built for lawyers. I had to call (ca-ching$$$) just to figure out how to navigate. The card info is ok except it doesn't offer a clue how to enter dates. I had to guess 4 times before I got it and the incorrect prompt was still up. Finally, and most disconcerting, the payment wasn't credited to my own attorney. It went to LaCourse Law instead. I now have no record that I paid my bill.
If you're trying to make a payment to your lawyer do not use this service. Ask if they will accept something real, like zelle or PayPal.

It is not truly Dockewise friendly

It is not truly Dockewise friendly. The integration needs improvement. As of right now, we can't schedule autopayments with anything but a debit/credit card. All other method payments do not really work well together with Lawpay.

Outstanding customer service

The level of customer service is simply outstanding, humans answer the phone quickly and actually care about answering your questions and helping you find solutions. In 2023 there are few businesses that provide even fair customer service, LawPay is world class! And no one paid me to say any of that.

Excellent Customer Service

I've had to call LawPay twice to get some guidance on different matters, and each time the customer service was top notch. I enjoy working with this company. They are easy to work with.

Lawpay has a trustworthy and innovative…

Lawpay has a trustworthy and innovative approach to provide payment services to law firms and their clients. The ability to provide links to firm clients for both invoice payments and separate trust accounts for retainers is most meaningful to help in our practice. I highly recommend!

Highly recommended!

I have used them since 2011 and processed millions of dollars without a problem.
I had an issue and they fixed it immediately.
I have now a renewed confidence and satisfaction with this great company.

Two annoying things…

There are two annoying things about Lawpay. First because I access my account from a couple different computers/phones, it seems like I am continuously having to validate my account. Every 30 days seems a bit much (my old card processor didn't do that). Second, when I'm using my phone to send a "quick bill", I go to lawpay.com but there's no login from that screen. I just spent a minute poking around looking for it. Then, of course, I have to revalidate my phone and wait for the email. So 5 minutes rather than 30 seconds...On the plus side it's a good payment processor so hopefully they'll take my suggestions constructively.

Not good upfront info

I don't feel like your sales staff was honest upfront. We didn't understand that basically every card is specialty card now a days and the fact we can't charge the client for using a debit card. It felt like we were promised so much more than you delivered. Whenever I spoke to someone about my issues they explained it well after but nothing was explained well upfront.
