“Why Attorneys Use Financing”
Why More Law Firms Are Offering Legal Fee Financing
Many prospective clients delay or avoid hiring an attorney because of the upfront cost of representation.
Offering attorney fee financing allows your firm to:

- Reduce lost opportunities caused by affordability concerns
- Increase average case value
- Provide payment flexibility without internally managing collections
- Compete with firms already advertising payment plans
- Help clients move forward during financially stressful situations
For many consumers, affordable monthly payments are easier to manage than paying a large retainer all at once or maxing out personal credit cards.
