From bank portals to payment links
As Strohmeyer Law expanded, traditional billing methods became harder to manage. Bank portals, manual steps, and check payments created friction for both the team and their clients, making it harder to keep billing aligned with the pace of the firm’s work.
To simplify payments and improve the client experience, John Strohmeyer turned to LawPay.
“I've pretty much bypassed a lot of the complicated dealing with banks and bank portals by going straight with LawPay from the outset,” he says.
With LawPay, clients have flexible ways to pay, including online by credit card or eCheck, anytime and from anywhere. Options like Pay Later also allow clients to spread payments over time while the firm is paid upfront.
“LawPay is essential to my practice at this point because clients expect to pay by credit cards or eChecks,” John says. “Nobody wants to write a physical check anymore. They want to be able to pay quickly and easily.”
Fewer follow-ups, faster payments
For Strohmeyer Law, one of the biggest advantages of LawPay is automated invoicing. The team can send invoices quickly and rely on a more consistent payment process, reducing the need for follow-up.
Once an invoice is sent, clients can pay right away. The team receives confirmation via email as soon as a payment is made, with funds on the way shortly after, helping create a more predictable billing cycle. That shift has made day-to-day billing simpler and more manageable.
“LawPay helps me do my job efficiently because otherwise I would be chasing dollars from clients,” says Bill Moody, Account Manager.
Scaling with added complexity
As Strohmeyer Law expanded from a solo practice to a team of seven, having a reliable billing process became essential. LawPay’s integrations with other legal software give the team better visibility into payments and simplify how billing fits into their overall workflow.
“When I send out a trust request through our management system, it’s integrated with LawPay, and I'm able to go into LawPay's website and immediately see who's paid [and] who hasn't paid,” Bill says. “It's just so much quicker, simpler, [and] easier to process those payments for the retainers of the clients through LawPay.”
Support has also played an important role as the firm scaled, with LawPay’s in-house team of payment specialists available by phone, live chat, or email to answer questions and provide guidance when needed.
Together, that visibility and support have made it easier to grow without adding complexity to billing.
