Our firm allows clients to pay by credit card. We have a situation at our firm where a client paid a $300,000 disbursement with a credit card. This cost us roughly $9,000. We investigated applying a 3% surcharge to credit card payments; however, Mass law prohibits it. There is no way around it.
We have changed our policy so that clients can only pay for services (attorney time) with credit cards. Disbursements (out-of-pocket charges) must be paid by check or wire.
