Challenge

For many Ticket Crushers clients, cost is the biggest barrier to hiring an attorney. The firm needed a way to offer affordable monthly payment options without taking on the administrative burden and financial risk of managing payment plans in-house.

Solution

Ticket Crushers chose 8am™ LawPay to make legal fees more manageable for clients while still getting paid upfront. With secure links, flexible payment options, and legal fee financing with Pay Later, the firm built a payment experience around clients.

Results

With LawPay, Ticket Crushers made it easier for clients to move forward with representation while improving the firm’s cash flow. The team now spends less time chasing payments and more time focused on client service, casework, and growth.

Key takeaways

  • Made legal representation more affordable for clients with Pay Later 

  • Reduced the burden and risk of managing payments in-house

  • Freed up more time for client service and casework

Ticket Crushers works with many clients who are navigating the legal system for the first time. These clients are often under immediate financial pressure, making it difficult to pay for legal representation upfront.

For the firm, this created a clear barrier. Clients needed flexibility, but traditional payment plans meant constant follow-up, added admin work, and financial risk.

To make legal services more accessible without sacrificing predictable revenue, Ticket Crushers turned to LawPay.

With multiple ways to pay and 24/7 access, LawPay gives clients the flexibility to pay anytime, from anywhere. For the firm, the real shift came from Pay Later.

With Pay Later, Ticket Crushers can offer affordable monthly payments while still receiving the full fee upfront. Instead of managing small payments over time, the firm gets paid in full at the start of the engagement, while clients repay through automated installments that fit their budget. “A lot of our clients ask for payment plans, but no lawyer will take a plan for $60, $70, or $80 a month,” says managing partner Adam Cohen.

That’s where Pay Later makes the difference.

“All we do is send them a link, they click, and they apply with some basic information,” Adam says. “We're able to collect the money upfront, and the client can get on a payment plan that they can afford."

Flexible payments that bring in clients

LawPay gives Ticket Crushers multiple ways to meet clients where they are. The firm can send secure payment links by email and text, take payments over the phone, and offer options that fit each client’s situation.

“It really is a win-win for everybody,” says operations manager Stephanie Martinez.

“The clients are satisfied because they have low monthly payments, and the firm is happy because we're getting paid upfront.” — Stephanie Martinez, Operations Manager

That shift has also supported growth. Many first-time clients return for future legal needs—and refer friends, family, and coworkers, helping expand the firm’s client base.

Less time on billing, more time on cases

Before LawPay, offering payment flexibility meant more time spent on follow-up and collections. The team had to manage payments manually, pulling attention away from client work.

Tools like scheduled payments and automatic invoicing have returned dozens of billable hours to the team.

“Nobody wants to be a bill collector,” Adam says. “Getting the money upfront allows our lawyers to focus on the case—not the billing.”

LawPay and Pay Later have become essential to Ticket Crushers’ day-to-day operations.

“We’ve used many legal practice management systems over time, and one of our must-haves is that the software integrates with LawPay.”
