5 Things Every Attorney Should Know About Client Financing 7 years ago

In a recent conversation with one of the most well-respected immigration attorneys in the country, he asked me a very simple question – “what are the top 5 things I need to know about financing?” It dawned on me that if he had that question, other attorneys might have the same question.

When A Client Is Approved, It’s Like Getting Paid In Cash

When a client accepts a financing offer, it’s the equivalent of getting paid your full retainer fee upfront. That’s right – 100%.

It Increases Cash Flow – Sometimes Significantly
We all know that clients who go on in-house terms don’t pay over the long run. At best, you are looking at getting paid 70% of your full fee. By offering client retainer financing and getting paid your full retainer from a client you might have extended in-house terms to, it’s like finding money in your pants pocket. It was yours to begin with, but it could have easily been missed.

Instant Approvals Help You Sign More Clients

You Are Already Offering Financing – And It’s Costing You A Fortune

When you offer In-House payment terms, you are offering financing. The good news is you are getting paid half your fee upfront. The bad news?
