"We were losing half our consultations to sticker shock."

A seven-attorney family law practice in Chicago saw a consistent pattern: prospective clients would complete a full consultation, express genuine interest, then walk away when they heard the retainer amount. The intake team had no tool to bridge the gap between what clients wanted and what they could pay upfront.

Within two weeks of enabling CaseFunders, the firm began presenting flexible payment plan options directly during the consultation — before the client ever felt the pressure of a lump-sum ask. Attorneys could pull up the client portal on a tablet, show estimated monthly payments, and let clients check offers with no credit impact.

The result: the firm retained clients who previously said "I need to think about it" — a phrase that almost never led to a signed agreement.

"Our paralegals used to spend half their day chasing retainer payments. Now clients sign and fund on the same day as the consult — sometimes in under an hour."

Personal injury boutique · Dallas, TX

"Clients wanted to hire us. The retainer was the only thing stopping them."

A Dallas personal injury boutique handled high-demand cases but struggled to convert consultations when prospective clients — many already dealing with medical bills — couldn't put $3,000–$5,000 down immediately. The firm's intake coordinator spent hours each week following up on stalled agreements.

After integrating CaseFunders, the firm introduced a simple step at the end of every consultation: show the client a monthly payment breakdown, let them check their options with a soft inquiry, and sign the agreement the same day. The platform handled everything — from offer comparison to funding disbursement.

The firm doubled its average retainer amount because clients felt comfortable committing to a higher-value engagement when it was spread across manageable payments.


03 General Practice · Solo & Small Firm · Florida

"I was turning away clients I knew I could help — because they couldn't pay."

A solo general practice attorney in Orlando handled immigration, landlord-tenant, and small business matters. Her client base skewed toward working families with irregular income — exactly the people who most needed legal help but had the hardest time paying a retainer upfront.

After a colleague recommended CaseFunders, she set up her account in a single afternoon. Within the first month, she was funding cases through the platform's client portal — no separate financing application, no third-party calls. Clients applied from their phone after the consultation.

The biggest change wasn't just revenue — it was which clients she could take on. She stopped having to say no to good clients for financial reasons.
