These realities create a substantial financial barrier for many needing legal services. LawFi’s unique platform enables law firms to offer seamless Retain Now, Pay Later® solutions, converting upfront legal costs into affordable monthly payments. As an early partner, Cordell & Cordell’s Florida offices will offer LawFi’s innovative legal fee loans as a new payment option.
