Payment solutions for attorney referral services and legal lead networks, supporting membership fees, referral fees, and client consultation payments. Apply with confidence.
Attorney referral services collect fees from both sides: memberships or referral fees from attorneys and sometimes consultation fees from the public. That mix, along with bar rules on referral arrangements, leads some processors to classify the business as higher risk. As a high risk merchant account provider with 20 acquiring banks, Daystar works with banks that understand legal service models.
We help you collect recurring attorney memberships, per-referral fees, and client consultation payments through one relationship, with multiple MIDs to separate each revenue stream. Clear agreements and descriptors reduce disputes from attorneys and consumers. There are no long-term contracts. Most decisions come within 24 hours.
Accept credit cards for attorney membership dues, per-referral or per-lead fees, and consumer consultation fees. Processing limits are sized for your billing mix, and separating attorney and consumer transactions makes it easier to track dispute ratios for each side of the business. Consumers see a clear descriptor on every consultation charge.


Connect your intake website or referral platform to a secure payment gateway so attorneys can manage payment methods and consumers can pay consultation fees online. Tokenized cards support automated billing without storing card data on your systems. Attorneys can update their own card on file, and reporting shows which panel members and practice areas bring in revenue.
Mobile payments let your team collect fees at bar events, legal conferences, and community clinics. Payment links sent by text or email make it easy for attorneys to pay invoices or renewals from their phone. Each payment is recorded under the right attorney or consumer account, so your staff can reconcile quickly.

Many law firms prefer paying membership dues and referral fees by ACH. Bank transfers cost less on larger invoices and fit how law firms manage operating account payments. Recurring ACH debits can also collect monthly panel dues automatically once a firm signs an authorization, with each debit tied to the right member account in your reporting.

Recurring billing handles monthly or annual attorney panel memberships automatically, with retries on declined cards and advance notices before each charge. That keeps your panel active and reduces administrative follow-up. Attorneys who let their card expire can be notified automatically, and inactive members can be paused without losing their payment history or referral records.

If your network includes attorneys or clients outside the United States, multi-currency processing lets them pay in their own currency with fewer declines. That helps networks that refer cross-border matters such as immigration, international business, or estate cases. Domestic and offshore banking options are available, and separate MIDs keep international activity easy to review.
