Why firms on GoHighLevel choose TenneX Legal
GoHighLevel runs the funnel. TenneX Legal runs the money.
GHL is good at what it does — ads, funnels, booking, intake. TenneX Legal doesn't touch any of that. It picks up where your GHL funnel stops: the retainer conversation, the payment plan, the overdue balance, the trust accounting.
Booked call → signed client
Offer financing and payment plans right when the fee comes up, so “I need to think about it” becomes a signed engagement instead of a ghosted follow-up.
Signed → collected
Payment plans on vaulted cards and two-way SMS follow-up keep balances moving — without your staff spending afternoons chasing.
Collected → clean books
Retainers route to trust, earned fees move to operating, and reconciliation is ready when you are. Fees never touch trust.
No integration to configure and nothing to migrate — TenneX Legal takes over only when it's time to get paid.
Client financing
Rolling outStop losing won consults at the retainer number
The consult goes well. Then the retainer amount lands, and the lead your funnel paid for goes quiet. Offer financing instead: the client applies in minutes, your firm gets paid now, and they pay over time. No awkward partial-payment negotiation.
- Offer financing from any invoice or matter — embedded or by tracked link
- Approved amounts land on the matter automatically
- Fixed-term financing is rolling out with founding firms — buy-now-pay-later and retainer financing follow on the same rail
Payments & trust
Every dollar lands in the right ledger
Key cards over the phone, send payment links and invoices, take eChecks — and every charge carries a trust-or-operating decision, not a cleanup job for month-end. Trust ledger tracking and reconciliation-ready reporting are woven through all of it.
- Retainers route to trust; earned fees move to operating
- Processing fees always debit operating — never trust
- Client trust balances can never go negative
- Three-way reconciliation: bank balance, book liability, client ledgers
Collections
Rolling outOverdue balances get a text, not a voicemail
Clients answer texts. Your team gets its afternoons back, and the consent, STOP, and quiet-hours rails are enforced on every send — not left to whoever hits send.
- Two-way SMS inbox threaded on each client's timeline
- Sequences tied to plan state — a missed installment starts the follow-up, a payment stops it
- Consent tracked per contact, STOP honored instantly, quiet hours respected automatically
- Plans run on vaulted cards — every installment is one click; hands-free autopay is coming next
Time & Billing
Live todayHourly billing + AI-native time capture
Get paid, finance retainers, collect faster — and capture every billable minute. MatterPay mines the text threads already in your workspace plus the calendar exports and call logs you drop in, cross-checks communication records against billed time, and surfaces the hours that were never billed — as drafted entries your firm reviews before anything bills. Hourly, flat-fee, and contingency on one system.
Capture work wherever it happens
One-click timers and quick-add that understands “1.5h”. Text threads, calendar exports, and call logs become proposed entries — not reconstructed from memory at month-end.
Reconstruct time from evidence
Time entries drafted with narrative descriptions and the supporting evidence attached — grouped by matter, contact, and date. Your firm reviews and approves; nothing posts itself.
Cross-check call records
Upload your carrier's call-log export (CSV) to reconcile calls and texts against billed time — and surface the work that was never billed.
Invoices from reviewed entries
Approved entries become draft invoices and payment requests on the same rail your retainers and plans already run on.
The honest comparison
TenneX Legal vs payment-only tools
Payment-only tools process payments well. The difference is everything around the payment: financing, plans, follow-up, trust routing — one rail.
| Capability | Payment-only tools | TenneX Legal |
|---|---|---|
| Card & eCheck payments | Yes — this is the core job | In development — we're selecting a processor; financing is what's live today |
| Client financing | LawPay: Pay Later via Affirm — a single lender, one credit decision, and firms pay 4.95%+ per Pay Later transaction | ePay Finance's Credit Select Plus — one application, multiple lenders, so a client a prime lender declines still gets a second look |
| Trust accounting | Trust and operating account support | In development — built and tested, switches on with card processing |
| Payment plans | Scheduled charges | In development — a plan charges a saved card, so it follows processing |
| Collections by SMS | Usually a separate tool on top | In development — consent, STOP, and quiet-hours handling already built |
| Lead-to-paid visibility | Starts at the payment | Financing applications tracked per client and matter today; plans and balances follow |
| Hourly billing + AI time capture | Via practice-management integrations | In development — reconstructs billable work from texts, calendar exports, and call logs |
