LawPay is well suited as a credit card processing system. It provides security needed to meet company insurance requirements. It is interesting because they have acquired MyCase which is another law case management software that we use, yet some of the functionality of LawPay, specifically Affirm, is not available on MyCase. Ideally it would be great to have all the same functionality on MyCase so we could use that only.

It is perfect for law management as it has integrations with Lawpay, which is specific for operating and trust account billing. I am able to create custom intakes for a client to fill out, automated with a task when submitted, and then review and response. I am also able to use the forms for internal use to enter information and use templates to populate those fields onto documents that I create.

I love the Support team. Available through chat on any screen on your practice panther. They say they respond within 24 hours but it's usually at most 3 hours and they direct you a solution or that confirm no available solution. The team at PP is always helpful and know how to follow up with issues in a timely manner.

I selected LawPay since they were designed specifically for attorneys and firms. They understand our business and developed their products to meet those business needs.

  • I have been able to expedite time reviewing a file, organizing information so less time spent on workers.
  • The automated organization through integrations, like dropbox, to organize all my matters in a uniform manner. Saves time.
  • Ease of use has saved on training as instructions can be implemented directly on workflows. Saves time. Each time it saves a worker time, I am more efficient and my return on investment is apparent.
