How Payment Plans Work at Texas Defenders: Transparent, Flexible, and Client-Focused

When you're facing criminal charges, legal fees shouldn't be another burden. At Texas Defenders, we believe everyone deserves access to experienced criminal defense—without worrying about how to pay for it all at once. That's why we offer flat-fee pricing and flexible, interest-free payment plans that put clients first.

Here's how our system works and why it's built to support you from day one.

Simple, Flat-Rate Pricing Based on Your Case

We charge a flat rate depending on your county and type of charge. Whether your case is in Dallas, Tarrant, or Collin County, you'll know exactly what your legal fees will be—with no hidden costs or hourly billing surprises. This straightforward pricing allows you to focus on your defense, not your finances.

Common Payment Plan: $500 Down + Biweekly Installments

Because most criminal cases take about 6–8 months to resolve, we structure payment plans that work with that timeline. Our most common plan includes:

• $500 down

• Biweekly payments every two weeks

• No interest

• No credit card processing fees

You're not charged more for using a card, and there are zero hidden finance costs. We want to make payments easy—not expensive.

Automated and Secure Payments via LawPay

We use LawPay, a trusted legal payment processor that keeps your payment information safe and makes the process seamless. Once your plan is set up:

• Payments are automatically processed on the schedule you choose

• You get email receipts and reminders before each payment

• You never have to wonder if your payment went through

You can also make extra payments anytime to reduce your balance faster—no penalties, fees, or extra interest.

Your Client Portal: Real-Time Access to Your Account

As soon as we're hired, clients receive a secure link to access their online client portal. From there, you can:

• View your total balance

• Track all payments made

• See upcoming payment dates

• Make manual or early payments at your convenience

This level of transparency gives you full control and peace of mind throughout the case.

Life Happens—And We Get That

We know life is unpredictable. If something comes up and you need to modify your payment schedule, we'll work with you. Our priority is always to handle your defense, not chase down payments.

We're here to help people, and that includes helping you find a financial solution that works for your situation.
